Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre will see a self-contained, mobile facility built on one of its parking lots amid concerns about a potential third wave of the pandemic and a surge of coronavirus cases.“At first glance, these appear to be tents (but) they are very sophisticated in nature,” Robert Burgess, Sunnybrook’s senior director of patient flow, emergency preparedness and pre-hospital medicine, told Global News outside of the Bayview Avenue-area site on Wednesday.Hospital staff began preparing the site, located on the northern side of the property, in February in concert with the upper levels of government.
