The deaths occurred Tuesday to Wednesday at the Queens hospital as New York continues to battle COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
At a New York City hospital in the center of the state's coronavirus outbreak, at least 13 patients died in the span of 24 hours, local media reported.
Medical staff are operating at their limit as they've worked tirelessly to treat patients in the 545-bed facility, the hospital statement said. The Times reported some patients waiting for a bed died in the emergency room, and a refrigerated truck sits outside to hold bodies.Elsewhere, the city’s convention center is being turned into a temporary hospital, and a makeshift morgue was set up outside Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.
“Our closeness makes us vulnerable,” he said. “But it’s true that your greatest weakness is also your greatest strength. And our closeness is what makes us who we are. That is what New York is.” "Those WILL buy us time. But we need 15,000 — and we need them FAST," he tweeted, urging more federal help.
