Lombardy is reopening its special
COVID-19 hospital at the Fiera Milano trade fair complex on
Friday, the special advisor to the northern region, Guido
Bertolaso, has announced.
Milan has been hit especially hard by the recent rise in
coronavirus cases.
"Today the first six patients will arrive after being
transferred from the intensive care unit of another hospital,"
former civil protection chief Bertolaso told Mediaset
television.
"Unfortunately, and I stress unfortunately, the programme
foresees that the hospital will have 15 patients in intensive
care by Monday and 30 patient in intensive care by the end of
next week.
"At the start of November we should have 45 patients in
intensive care".
