The National Guard has jumped in to help Connecticut handle the growing number of people confirmed to have coronavirus.

Members of the National Guard turned the Moore Field House basketball court at Southern Connecticut State University into a mobile hospital complete with folding beds. The facility has 250 beds, and is for patients with COVID-19 who are ready to leave the hospital, but still need care like oxygen and IV fluids.

The governor toured the facility and later gave an update on health insurance during the crisis.

"A 60-day grace period. No payments necessary on your health insurance as well as your property and casualty. Stepped up, the first in the nation going forward," says Gov. Ned Lamont.

Officials say some patients from lower Fairfield County could be taken to the mobile hospital because of the large number of of patients in some of those areas.
