ORANGE, Calif.—The University of California–Irvine (UCI) Medical Center opened a network of field hospital rooms Dec. 29 in the center’s parking lot due to Orange County’s spike in COVID-19 cases.

The field units, which are made up of tent-like materials, are licensed to treat up to 40 patients outside the main hospital.
