First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed that Glasgow's SECC is going to be turned into a giant field hospital to treat victims of COVID-19.
She revealed the plans in her speech this afternoon, and also confirmed that six more Scots have died due to the virus.
The announcement comes after 179 new cases of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) have been identified, taking the total to 1563.
The army is helping set up the field hospital, which will be run by the NHS and staffed with nurses and doctors.
The building will house 300 beds within a fortnight and will hold more than 1000 beds at full capacity.
The Glasgow complex was identified as the best site for a temporary hospital due to its central location, transportation links and size.
The Glasgow field hospital is, however, dwarfed by the huge Nightingale hospital in London.
Last week, a worker at the 4000 bed facility shared a chilling video showing its huge scale, as the UK capital braces itself for a huge spike in COVID-19 cases.
The video, which you can watch above, showed the interior of a huge super hospital being set up in London, which includes hundreds of beds and "a morgue."
In the chilling video, the worker pleads with people to "take this seriously".
