As COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to decline in New York, the federal government moves forward with the shuttering of the Javits Center which housed a 2,500-bed field hospital for COVID-19 patients. According to Gothamist, as of last week, only 141 of those 2,500 beds were occupied. Additionally, the USNS Comfort, a Naval hospital ship, is expected to depart as well, as it's 1,000-person capacity carried only 32 patients.

"We are encouraged by the data which suggest the curve is flattening in New York and we are working with the city and state to begin the strategic drawdown of resources," a spokesperson for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Gothamist on Friday.
Both facilities are due to shut down as soon as April 30th.
