Completed activities on the US Navy Hospital Ship NY for medical support with the new Corona and returned to Japan May 11 at 11:15
A Navy hospital ship, which had been dispatched to New York State in the eastern United States, left New York after a month of activity in support of a medical field that was under pressure due to the rapid increase in new coronavirus cases.
The US Navy hospital ship "Comfort" was dispatched to New York State in March this year for medical support.
With a maximum of 1,000 beds, 1200 people including medical personnel boarded the ship, and about 180 people including new coronavirus patients from New York State and neighboring New Jersey were carried and treated.
After that, the tight situation in the medical field was alleviated, and on the 21st of last month, Governor Cuomo of New York, who requested the dispatch, said at the meeting that he thanked the military and said, `` We are no longer in hospitals. You don't need a ship, you should use it where you really need it. "
The hospital ship left New York for a base in Southern Virginia after completing a one-day dispatch for 30 days.
According to the U.S. Navy, hospital ships will continue to be poised to accept new coronavirus patients and prepare for dispatch requests after returning to base.
