Health First officials said the presence of the trailer outside Viera Hospital should 'neither cause alarm nor speculation.'
Officials said all Brevard County hospital systems are nearing capacity as a result of the surge of new COVID cases.
"Health First does own and maintain a refrigerated trailer which could potentially be used by our hospitals for many needs, including during natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tropical storms," Health First spokesperson Lance Skelly told"The mere presence of this trailer should neither cause alarm nor speculation," he added.
Health First's Holmes Regional Medical Center and its Palm Bay Hospital previously had to erect tents outside the main buildings in order to help treat new COVID-19 patients outside amid the surge of new cases. Brevard County Fire Rescue Chief Mark Schollmeyer has also urged residents to only call 911 in an emergency so ambulances can be used to deal with the influx of more severe COVID patients.
