Providence in Portland to set up surge tents, temporary morgues
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Surge tents and temporary morgues will be set up at Providence Medical Center in Portland as health care professionals prepare for the worst as COVID-19 cases continue to spike around the region and the U.S., hospital officials announced on Friday.
In a press release, officials said the surge tents will give health care workers additional space for people coming for emergency care, while the temporary morgues will provide more space so that hospital workers can respectfully handle COVID-19 patients who die.
