Breaking News: Tent set up for flu patients at Pa. hospital


“This is very strange, I believe they are doing the same thing in New Jersey too.  Something is very strange with this.”

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) -January 8, 2013 (WPVI) — An eastern Pennsylvania hospital dealing with an onslaught of flu patients is setting up a special tent outside the emergency room to deal with those cases.

The Express-Times of Easton reports Lehigh Valley Hospital is setting up the “mobile surge tent” on Tuesday. That’s after cases were piling up at the Salisbury Township hospital Monday.

The Lehigh Valley Health Network says the tent will be accepting patients experiencing flu-like symptoms. But the health system says those patients should still report to the main emergency entrance for treatment first

Spokesman Matthew Burns says it’s too early to tell how long the tent will be open. He says it could end up growing or it could only be there a week.
