Chiang Mai University has closed down its field hospital, after all the patients, who were mostly students and university personnel, were discharged from the facility following treatment.

 

Professor Dr. Bannakit Lojanapiwat, dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the university, said that the field hospital, which was a converted dormitory for female students, had the capacity to accommodate 300 patients.

 

Opened on April 10th, the field hospital was intended to treat students and university personnel infected with the virus, to ease the workload at the provincial field hospital. It was staffed by about 100 medics from the university, who were mobilized to look after the infected around the clock.

Looks like the building suffered a severe structural problem under the load!

Does 'treat' = lock up for a couple of weeks with no medical care of any kind?
