U.S. hospital ship Mercy to leave Los Angeles after treating 77 non-coronavirus patients

The United States Naval Ship (USNS) Mercy will return to its home port San Diego on Friday after assisting the coronavirus response in Los Angeles, the U.S. Northern Command said Thursday.

Mercy will leave Los Angeles about 7 a.m. and is expected to arrive at Naval Base San Diego sometime Friday afternoon.

The hospital ship arrived at the port of Los Angeles on March 27 and started treating non-coronavirus patients to alleviate some pressure from local hospitals brought about by the outbreak.

Mercy received a total of 77 patients during around seven weeks in Los Angeles.
