Georgia is planning to reopen a field hospital at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center as the state struggles with a record-breaking number of new Covid-19 cases, according to an article on the CNBC website.
The center first turned an exhibit hall into a 200-bed alternative care facility in April, but officials closed it in May.
The facility will use state-owned equipment procured through the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency earlier this year.
The state first plans to “leverage a new contract for enhanced bed capacity with a metro-Atlanta area hospital” before using the center, according to state officials.
