NEW YORK CITY (April 5, 2020) – Sailors aboard the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) simulate a patient's transfer onto the ship in support of the nation’s COVID-19 response efforts. Effective April 6, Comfort began accepting trauma, emergency, and urgent care patients without regard to their COVID status. Comfort serves as a referral hospital for non-COVID-19 patients currently admitted to shore-based hospitals. This allows shore-based hospitals to focus their efforts on COVID-19 cases. One of the Department of Defense's missions is Defense Support of Civil Authorities. DoD is supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal agency, as well as state, local and public health authorities in helping protect the health and safety of the American people.
