New York is currently “undertaking preparations” to have emergency hospital facilities ready in case there is another Covid-19 surge, including Javits Center in New York City, an official in the governor’s office said. 

“The Governor has made clear that we’re laser focused on preserving hospital capacity and protecting our healthcare system as cases increase and continue to do so as we move through the holiday season,” said Rich Azzopardi, senior advisor to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
