By: Bailey Boivin The CT National Guard is teaming up to make sure people have places to recover from the Coronavirus. Since the CT Convention Center isn’t being used at the moment, they are planning on utilizing the space as a precautionary measure in case worst comes to worst, and the space is needed. Captain Pytlik, a public affairs officer with the CT National Guard, said, “We hope we're not going to need the space, the goal is to have it ready to go if it is needed." This effort will take a few days before operations turn to Hartford Healthcare and Pytlik said, "This is for patients that still have some symptoms and still require some medical care, things like IVs, things like oxygen. This isn't for patients that are highly acute or they require ventilators.”
All of the 200 troops continue to make improvements before the space is absolutely a necessity, because with the way things are going, this may be a useful space. Captain Pytlik also said, "It feels great to know that these guys are doing something and they're making a difference.” He also said that he hopes that it can be very effective in times of need, and he is willing to do anything else for, not only Connecticut, but the world to go back to normal
