Hong Kong’s first makeshift hospital for Covid-19 patients has started operation at the AsiaWorld-Expo exhibition centre near the airport. The facility is designed to relieve pressure on the city’s public health system as the coronavirus crisis worsens. Infected patients between the ages of 18 and 60 that are considered milder cases will be admitted to the facility. Those in an unstable or severe condition will be sent to public hospitals.
