The COVID-19 Treatment Facility (CTF) at EXPO Hall 9 is an important addition to our national response to Omicron.
This facility is designed to take care of the most vulnerable in our community, it has about 600 beds for children and their caregivers, and 224 beds for the elderly.
As the Omicron variant is more likely to infect children than the Delta variant, this new facility will complement our hospitals in providing care to paediatric patients should they need to be hospitalised. Together with the existing EXPO Halls 7 to 10, CTF@EXPO is now our largest CTF and can house over 2,500 beds. In all, we have about 4,500 CTF beds – with Hall 9 as the latest addition.
