DBasia.news – Manchester City is ready to lend Etihad Stadium in opposition to the corona virus. Some of the area will be used by the British Health Service (NHS).
The 55 thousand-seater stadium will be temporarily converted. Manchester City management has coordinated with the British Health Service (NHS).
Reporting from Sky Sports, later some parts of the stadium will be used to become a training ground for nurses. Reportedly the executive rooms and press conference sites are included in the section that will be used.
This is not Manchester City’s first action against corona virus. Previously they together with Manchester United launched the ‘A City United’ campaign to provide food to the residents of the city.
In addition to Manchester City, Watford has also opened the Vicarage Road gate for use by medical personnel. While the same thing is also done by Real Madrid with the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Manchester city government is also currently building a temporary hospital in the Manchester Central Convention Complex, located in the city center. This is done to anticipate the surge in the number of victims who are positive for the corona virus.
On the other hand, two Manchester United legends, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, have also donated two of their hotels to the NHS. The two hotels were used as a place for medical personnel to rest during the Corona crisis.
