A field hospital has been set up in New York's Central Park to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

Over 33,000 people in New York City have tested positive for Covid 19, and 776 people had died.

Over the weekend, crews started the construction of long, white medical tents in the park's East Meadow lawn.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said he expected the 68-bed emergency field hospital to open Tuesday.
