As the number of infected people with COVID-19 nears 2,000 in Florida, field hospitals are being deployed in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, as well as the cities of Orlando, Ocala and Jacksonville.

Two field hospitals are being prepared at the Miami-Dade Youth Fair grounds in Miami. The Miami-Dade County Office of Emergency Management is converting an existing event tent at the fairgrounds to accommodate up to 250 hospital beds, according to Jenny Lopez, public information officer with Miami-Dade County. Another tent was provided by the state, but it is unknown how many beds it could accommodate, she added. Floors are being installed, but Lopez could not confirm if the tents would include specialty facilities such as isolation rooms.

“一切都是流体而不是一切都决定了，”洛佩兹说，补充说没有完成任何完整日期。

杰克逊维尔正在举办一家250床联邦野外医院。该市目前在该网站上设立了一个驱动器Thru测试中心。Mayor Lenny Curry表示，只有在需要时，只能准备使用。

“This is only a precaution, getting ahead of what could happen,” he said during a March 24 press conference. “This is an asset we have in our region to use, if needed.”

Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department Chief Keith Powers said the city’s hospitals are “nowhere near capacity” and that demand is being monitored on an hourly basis.

一些私营医院还准备临时治疗空间，以便在准备就绪的额外容量。

承包商ANF集团总裁AL FERNANDEZ表示，他的公司正在彭布罗克松树，FLA的纪念医院西部毕业生医学教育大楼准备25,000平方英尺的开放空间。，以适应“非受损”患者。“这将在医院释放患者的床，”他说。

The company also recently added negative-air capacity to rooms at Broward Health’s Imperial Point facility in Fort Lauderdale.

Fernandez表示，许多医疗保健提供者正在延迟医院的内部工作，除非被视为至关重要。但是，在业务医院区18luck官网域外部进行的项目正在继续。在其目前的项目中，ANF正在为HCA18luck官网医疗保健的迈阿密建立一个独立的急救署。

“On all of our exterior sites, the effect on us, so far, has been minimal,” he said.
