A spokesperson for the city tells News 12 this is part of their overall effort to expand more capacity. They say the federal government has been supporting operations at this location and the others.

In addition to housing bodies, News 12 is told it’s also a long-term storage. Other media outlets are reporting that the trucks were not at full capacity as of Monday.

Citywide, the mayor’s office says more than 18,900 people have died as a result of COVID-19.
