German armed forces considering Portuguese request for help - Spiegel

Germany's armed forces are considering a request from Portugal to help it set up a field hospital to treat coronavirus patients, German magazine Der Spiegel reported on Wednesday.

The Portuguese government approached German Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer at the weekend and is asking for the field hospital to be set up for the delivery of medical supplies and for Germany to take Portuguese intensive care patients, Spiegel reported.
