London Excel center to be converted as temporary hospital

UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced on Tuesday that the Excel center in East London will be converted to a temporary hospital, as the COVID-19 continues to spread in the UK.

In the press briefing, he also said almost 11,800 retired medics will return to join the NHS workforce.

The UK government has now purchased 3.5 million antibody test kits to meet the increasing demand for novel coronavirus testing.
