If the number of COVID-19 patients remains under control and other hospitals are still able to treat them, the field hospital will be a location for 14-day quarantine for people that have had close contact with verified cases.

According to the design, patients with light symptoms will be located on the 2nd and the 3rd floors with around 200 beds on each floor. The 4th floor will be reserved for doctors, nurses, and staff.

Earlier, Da Nang’s Health Department appointed its Deputy Director Tran Thanh Thuy to be Operating Director of the field hospital. Another Deputy Director in charge of professional medical care at the hospital will be appointed soon.

“Sun Group has been closely working with Da Nang since the group started its business in the city 10 years ago. For us, Da Nang is a second home. We hope this field hospital will help contain the epidemic," said Mr Duong The Bang, Director of the Sun Group in the Central Region, about the decision to sponsor the field hospital at Tien Son Sports Center in Da Nang.
