As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to plague the area without flattening of the curve, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was pleased to showcase the alternative care site to support the nation’s capital’s battle against the novel coronavirus at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Northwest, D.C.
“Patients who come here will be treated by MedStar nurses and doctors and staff, and the site, of course, is stocked with necessary medical equipment to treat and care for patients,” Bowser said.
Those residents who will be treated at the alternate care site will be considered “low acuity COVID patients,” according to the mayor.
“Patients who come here will be treated by MedStar nurses and doctors and staff, and the site, of course, is stocked with necessary medical equipment to treat and care for patients,” Bowser said confidently.
While the mayor is excited about the alternate site, some residents used social media to tell the city’s leader that the COVID care support location is an unnecessary use of resources.
