Britain's Prince Charles officially opened the Nightingale Hospital in London on Friday, a field hospital erected to provide thousands of extra beds for patients with the novel coronavirus disease and built in just nine days in a huge conference centre.
Heir-to-the-throne Charles opened the hospital by video link from his home in Scotland in a first for the British royal family, and said that this feat was an example of "how the impossible could be made possible."
Built with help from the military, the Nightingale is the first of six new temporary hospitals to be set up across the country to cope with the outbreak. So far, 2,921 people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in Britain have died.
The prince, 71, himself only came out of seven days of self-isolation this week after testing positive for the virus.
