Lahore Expo-Centre Field hospital closed after all Covid-19 patients discharged

According to details, all coronavirus patients receiving treatment at the Expo Center Field Hospital discharged after being fully recovered from the deadly virus.

The Punjab government established 990-bed isolation facility and 10-bed High Dependency Unit at the Lahore Expo Centre, while 110 doctors, nurses and paramedical staff had been appointed at a field hospital to look after virus patients.

Sources said that due to the Punjab government’s home isolation policy, many Covid-19 patients isolated themselves at their homes.

“The Expo Center Field Hospital will remain functional for two more months.

Earlier on July 9, Expo Center had forwarded a Rs550 million bill to the provincial government for renting the place for a few months amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

According to sources privy to the development, the rent is being charged after the provincial government acquired the premises to form a field hospital in the vicinity for coronavirus patients.

600 patients have thus far been treated in the temporarily built field hospital.
