Trump Bids Farewell to New York-Bound Hospital Ship - Video
18:07 GMT 28.03.2020 (Updated: 18:10 GMT 28.03.2020) Comfort, which carries 1,000 beds and over 1,200 medical personnel, is expected to arrive in New York on 30 March. It will treat traumas and non-infectious diseases in order to allow local doctors to focus on coronavirus cases.
US President Donald Trump is speaking at the farewell ceremony for the giant US Navy hospital ship Comfort, which is leaving for coronavirus-hit New York.
"The USNS COMFORT will sail well ahead of its originally scheduled departure time to answer America’s call to battle against the global pandemic here at home", the White House said on Thursday.
The ship was initially slated for deployment in about three weeks.
Another US Navy hospital ship, Mercy, is sailing from San Diego to Los Angeles on a similar mission.
