One of Vancouver's highest-profile downtown buildings is being repurposed into a hospital

The Vancouver Convention Centre will be outfitted with 271 beds for people recovering from non-COVID illnesses, surgeries, heart attacks or injuries, said Health Minister Adrian Dix. Those patients may need to be moved from existing hospital beds into the convention centre in coming days and weeks to make space for COVID-19 patients if the outbreak continues to worsen, he said.
