Madrid's regional president, Isabel Ayuso, officially inaugurated Spain's first dedicated pandemic hospital.
Costing more than $100m, the Isabel Zendal hospital has room for 1,000 beds and 50 intensive care units after construction started just four months ago.
The new hospital aims to ease the burden on Madrid's buckling healthcare system, allowing the region's other hospitals to deal with more cases unrelated to COVID-19.
