COVID-19 Alternate Care Sites (ACSs): Role and Activities of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Some USACE-converted ACSs reportedly are expected to close shortly after their conversions or are to be put on standby (referred to as warm sites). Others have served fewer patients than the facilities capacity, but there is some reporting that health care professionals have found that ACSs provided relief for hospitals and their staff.
