In response to the increasing number of Coronavirus cases calling for more medical services, thousands of beds and medical equipment are installed at the Dubai World Trade Centre’s Sheikh Rashid, Sheikh Saeed and Sheikh Maktoum halls, turning the venues that once hosted landmark events like Middle East Film and Comic-Con, GITEX Shopper, Dubai International Motor Show and Modesh World, into a field hospital.
