Sky News UK in Bergamo Italy: "The shocking centre of the COVID-19 crisis"
The footage shows wards with more patients than they can handle. The staff seem overwhelmed.
The hospital's head of emergency care, Dr. Roberto Cosentini, told Sky News: "It's a very severe pneumonia, and so it's a massive strain for every health system, because we see every day 50 to 60 patients who come to our emergency department with pneumonia, and most of them are so severe they need very high volumes of oxygen."
He added: "And so we had to reorganize our emergency room and our hospital — three levels of intensive care."
