TERRE HAUTE, Ind.  – Union Hospital in Terre Haute now has a special tent set up near the emergency room entrance in Terre Haute.

A social media post says this is nothing to be alarmed about but that it is a preventative measure and would be used if the need arises.

The tent would be used as extra room if there is a surge in patients showing COVID-19 symptoms.

Officials say this gives them a space to assess those patients away from others.
