Abstract |
A prime concern that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic is that hospitals and healthcare facilities may not have sufficient capacity to provide care during case surges. Alternate care sites (ACS) are nontraditional sites that are temporarily repurposed for providing healthcare services during public health emergencies, such as stadiums, hotels, and dormitories. During the pandemic, ACS have been utilized during the pandemic to relieve overcrowding. |
