The Department of Veterans Affairs stands “ready to surge” capabilities to supplement civilian health care systems in case they get overwhelmed, the department’s spokeswoman said in a statement to Breitbart News on Wednesday.
“VA stands ready to surge capabilities into civilian health care systems in the event those systems encounter capacity issues, but at this time they are not encountering such issues,” VA Press Secretary Christina Mandreucci said in an email.
“VA facilities are equipped with essential items and supplies to handle an influx of coronavirus cases,” she said.
She said as of Friday, the VA had 13,000 acute care beds, including 1,800 intensive care unit beds.
Any requests for VA assistance would come through the Department of Health and Human Services, which is leading the federal response to coronavirus.
