COVID-19: Trump Order Conversion Of Navy Ship To Coronavirus Treatment Center by Kelvin30286063(m): 2:37am On Apr 08, 2020
President Donald Trump agreed Monday to allow the U.S. Navy's 1,000-bed ship 'Comfort' to be used to treat patients with the coronavirus to relieve pressure on New York City's strained hospital system

"We don't need the Comfort for non-COVID cases, we need it for COVID," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a press conference in Albany, N.Y. earlier Monday, when he announced he would ask Trump to let the ship take that role.

At Monday evening's coronavirus task force briefing, Trump said the ship would be used to treat patients from New York and New Jersey.

"It is set for COVID … hopefully that will be very helpful to both states," Trump said.

The Comfort, which is docked on Manhattan's West Side, previously was deployed to the Big Apple with the understand that it would not treat patients with coronavirus.

The coronavirus has now infected more than 123,160 people in New York state and killed at least 12,659 people all round the US.

More than 3,000 of those deaths were in New York City, according to Hopkins.

The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, which is producing models for the White House on the U.S. and state COVID-19 outbreaks, predicts that more than 15,600 people in New York state will die from COVID-19 by Aug. 4.

Just a day after coronavirus patients were brought on board the ship, some of the crew members tested positive to the deadly virus.
