Glasgow's SEC turned into temporary virus hospital

A conference centre in Glasgow is being turned into a temporary hospital to give extra capacity to Scotland's National Health Service (NHS) during the new coronavirus outbreak.

The SEC (Scottish Events Campus) Centre is the venue where the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26, was set to take place in November before being postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic.

The temporary hospital has been named after a Scottish nurse from Glasgow, Louisa Jordan, who died in active service during World War I.

According to the Scottish government, the hospital will provide an initial 300 beds to help safeguard Scotland's NHS during the pandemic.
