Russia's first specialist hospital starts treating COVID-19 patients
The first hospital in Russia that specialized in treating COVID-19 patients received its first 20 patients after a month of construction, the government said on Tuesday.
The hospital, located about 60 kilometers southwest of Moscow, has 800 beds and can add another 100 if necessary. The hospital now has more than 500 medical staff, and plans to increase the number to about 1,000 in the future.
The hospital will be able to complete more than 10,000 COVID-19 tests per day.
