UL 'likely' to play host to field hospital if hospitals become overwhelmed by Covid-19

University of Limerick (UL) is likely to become a location for a Covid-19 “field hospital” in the event that hospitals in the region become “overwhelmed” by cases of the virus, announced the University’s President, Dr Des Fitzgerald.
“It is likely that UL will play host to a field hospital as our frontline health services are potentially overwhelmed,” Dr Fitzgerald said this morning.
