Loading out U.S. Navy Hospital Ship USNS Mercy - COVID-19 Response

SAN DIEGO (March 21, 2020) The U.S. Navy continues preparations to deploy USNS Mercy in support of the nation’s COVID-19 response efforts which will serve as a referral hospital for non-COVID-19 patients. This will allow shore-based hospitals to use their ICU and ventilators for COVID-19 patients ashore. @CDCGov
