Coronavirus outbreak: Central Park turns into tent hospital for COVID-19 patients in New York City

New York City’s Central Park is now the site of a new makeshift tent hospital run by charity organization Samaritan’s Purse to treat the overflow of COVID-19 patients coming from Mount Sinai hospital. The organization’s advance team arrived in New York on Friday night and sent trucks with equipment the next day. New York reported that cases in the state had increased by more than 9,000 from a day earlier, to 75,795, with deaths rising by 27 per cent to 1,550, the most of any state.
