An emergency field hospital erected in Central Park to treat COVID-19 patients is to close, the group running it announced Saturday, as coronavirus cases continue to decline in New York.
“This marks a significant turning point in the coronavirus outbreak in New York because it means the case numbers are declining to the point that the local healthcare system will be able to meet the needs,” the charity said.
Saturday’s announcement comes after the US military hospital ship USNS Comfort sailed out of New York on Thursday. That included converting the Javits Convention Center and the home of the US Open tennis tournament into emergency field hospitals.
