FEMA is sending refrigerated trucks to New York City to serve as temporary morgues as the death toll from the coronavirus grows.
There is a “desperate need” for morgue space in Queens in particular, FEMA regional administrator Thomas Von Essen said Monday. The borough has the most coronavirus cases in the city, and Elmhurst hospital has been swamped with gravely ill patients.
“We are going to have an awful lot of folks that aren’t going to make it,” Von Essen said at a press conference with Mayor Bill de Blasio, as they welcomed the hospital ship USNS Comfort to the city.
As of Monday morning, 790 people have died in the city from the coronavirus. There are 36,221 confirmed cases.
