To increase capacity for an expected surge in COVID-19 patients, Oregon will open an emergency hospital with 250 beds, according to Oregon Live.
The hospital will be on the state fairgrounds in Salem, and is slated to open by the end of this week.

The governor didn't reveal who would staff the hospital or where its supplies would come from.
