NEW YORK (March 31, 2020) -- New York Correspondent for British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Batman Kalbasi, right, and camera-man Jorge Sequeda conduct a stand-up interview about the arrival of the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20). USNS Comfort pulled in to Pier 90 yesterday in support of the nation’s COVID-19 response efforts and will serve as a referral hospital for non-COVID-19 patients currently admitted to shore-based hospitals. This allows shore-based hospitals to focus their efforts on COVID-19 cases. One of the Department of Defense's missions is Defense Support of Civil Authorities. DoD is supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal agency, as well as state, local and public health authorities in helping protect the health and safety of the American people.
