Hospitalsskib på plads i New York

Den amerikanske flådes hospitalsskib, USNS Comfort, er nu på plads i havnen i New York City, hvor det kan bidrage med 1.000 stærkt savnede hospitalssenge i byen, der er det amerikanske epicenter for coronavirussen. Skibet skal huse patienter, der behandles for alt andet end Covid-19

Myndighederne i New York havde forventet, at det ville tage to hele uger at få skibet gjort klar, men det endte med at ske på blot otte dage.

“Det betyder, at det ankom tidligere og vi vil være i stand til at gennemføre livreddende arbejde med det samme. Det svarer til at få tilført et helt hospital til byen,” sagde Bill De Blasio, borgmester i New York ifølge CNN.

New York er voldsomt hårdt ramt af Covid-19 og har foreløbig registreret mere end 1.000 relaterede dødsfald.

Ifølge borgmesteren har byen behov for at tredoble sin hospitals kapacitet.

“Vores nation har hørt vores bøn om hjælp til New York City,” sagde han med henvisning til skibets ankomst.

Det andet af US Navy´s hospitalsskibe af samme størrelse, USNS Mercy, ankom til Los Angeles for fire dage siden.
