Health officials hope to have the 2,000 beds  ready in the Colorado Convention Center by the end of the month for people recovering from the new coronavirus, according to an article on the Colorado Sun website.

The virus is expected to cause its peak strain on the health care system in Colorado in May.

A complex of small rooms for people who are recovering from COVID-19s are being built to house patients when they are able to leave critical care but aren’t well enough to go home.

A similar field hospital is being constructed at The Ranch at the Larimer County Fairgrounds and Events Complex. It’s expected to have a capacity of about 1,000 beds and construction is slated to be finished by April 29.
