Eventprofs scrub up
to fight Covid-19
Another big example of the events
sector’s commitment to society in
general has come to the fore in the
Spanish capital throughout April,
where IFEMA’s convention and
exhibition halls have been transformed
into the country’s largest field hospital.
Eventprofs again rose to a national
health emergency challenge caused
by the Covid-19 pandemic, working in
coordination of the Community of
Madrid, Madrid City Council and the
Armed Forces, and also with IFEMA’s
suppliers to transform 85,000sqm of
halls 5, 7 and 9, enabling them to
house an initial 1,300 beds and 96 ICU
stations for patients infected with
Covid-19. There is also the possibility to
expand to a total of 5,500 beds.
Additionally, hall 14 of Feria de
Madrid is housing 150 asymptomatic
homeless people with the assistance of
Madrid City Council and SAMUR
Social.
