Hundreds of workers are rushing to build and install the COVID-19 treatment in Tien Son Sports Palace. All the construction parts will be done by August 3, in the meantime, the installing parts, including installing electricity, water, ventilator system, beds are expected to complete by August 5, according to the representative of the construction department.

According to Mr. Nguyen Truong Son, Deputy Minister of Health, the construction progress is closely monitored to make sure the facility is ready to receive patients once it’s completed. The Deputy Minister had visited the construction site on Sunday.

The Da Nang makeshift hospital has a capacity of 700 beds readily available for patients in need. It can accommodate up to 1,000 beds in complicated epidemic situation. To date, all the necessary medical facilities are basically ready to be sued.

Tien Son Sports Palace, built-in 2010, is located relatively separated from residential areas, considered an ideal place to set up field hospital. The internal stadium covers some 2.400 square meters, not to mention the large corridors and stand areas, enabling the stadium to afford up to 7,000 people at a time.

The reception hall on the ground floor and the second floor is very spacious, which can store a large number of medical equipment.

The city’s party committee stated that the field hospital would ease the burden on the health care system and authorities could focus on extinguishing Covid-19 outbreaks at Da Nang Hospital, Da Nang Hospital C and the Orthopedic and Physical Rehabilitation Hospital of Da Nang, which is all currently under strict lockdown due to is linkage to new locally-transmitted cases.
