COVID-19 Patients Receive Oxygen in Cars in Italy as Hospitals Overwhelmed

People with suspected COVID-19 in Italy's third-largest city, Naples, have been given oxygen treatment in their cars after a nearby hospital reached its maximum capacity.
Queues of cars formed outside Cotugno Hospital, with fears that there may not be enough doctors available to treat patients. As a second wave of the virus takes place across Europe, Italy has recorded over 990,000 cases and over 42,000 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
Antonio Abenante, a local resident in the regional capital of Campania, told Sky News that he was unable to get information about his father's condition. He said: "Today my father didn't reply to me on the phone, and I am worried. We called a doctor, and he told us all the doctors in the ward are in isolation because they got COVID-19, and this was the doctor on duty and he didn't know anything."
