Auxiliary health facilities set up in major urban centres

With the outbreak expected to spread more widely across the continent over the next two weeks, there are increasing concerns over health care system capacities. Auxiliary health facilities such as the U.S. Navy Hospital Ship Comfort deployed to the port of New York City (which is the largest affected city globally with over 50,000 cases), and field hospitals have been set up in major urban centres, including New York City’s Central Park and in Toronto, Canada.
