The state of Hidalgo is preparing to attend to possible cases of coronavirus, despite the fact that no positive cases have been confirmed so far, however, the entity’s Ministry of Health plans the installation of an inflatable hospital to be available in case of any contingency.

“It is a tool that can be ideal in settings such as what is being experienced,” said Marco Antonio Escamilla, Secretary of Health of Hidalgo.

It will have a capacity for 50 beds, including 10 intensive therapy, there will be modules for outpatient consultation and observation, hospitalization and emergency areas.

1,300 doctors and nurses have been trained for its operation.

This hospital was already used in November 2018 during a health campaign in the Ben Gurión park, in Pachuca.

Currently, it is evaluated where it will be installed.

“We will be ready in three days,” said the governor of Hidalgo, Omar Fayad Meneses.

The building was there for a long time after they closed, always a landmark. You knew you were almost finally at Disney World, when you saw it.
I kind of miss it being there.😔

I am so home sick...especially worried about Vero, with the virus.

Thank you. There is such an elderly population there, some of which I've known my whole life.
