The Jacob K. Javits Convention Centre, located in midtown Manhattan, starts its first operational day after being converted into a field hospital to treat up to 2,000 COVID-19 patients.
The 760,000-square-foot convention centre is reportedly broken up into four 250-bed sections, each about 40,000 square feet in size. There will be 320 medical workers assigned to each section, reports say.
