Britain's Prince Charles, from home by video, opened a new hospital in London, erected to provide thousands of extra beds for patients with coronavirus
LONDON - Britain’s Prince Charles opened a new hospital in London on Friday, erected to provide thousands of extra beds for patients with the coronavirus and built in just nine days in a huge conference centre.
Built with help from the military, it is the first of six new temporary hospitals to be set up across the country to cope with the outbreak. So far, 2,921 people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in Britain have died. The prince, 71, himself only came out of seven days of self-isolation this week after testing positive for the virus.
The Excel Centre, with more than 900,000 sq feet of exhibition space, normally hosts events for industries like defence, travel and property. During the 2012 London Olympics it was used for boxing, fencing and weightlifting.
