A good size hotel (part of the Van der Valk hotel Chain) in the most southern province of The Netherlands, Limburg, offered to convert the hotel into a temporary medical facility for patients too sick with COVID to stay at home but not too sick to be in a hospital.

The conversion from hotel to medical facility only took three and a half days.

Since many hotels in our area are nearly empty during this pandemic, would that not be a valuable consideration for our cities to consider?
