Mobile Morgue at North Memorial Hospital, Minneapolis

A refrigerated trailer, serving as a temporary morgue, is set up outside North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale, a suburb of Minneapolis. This measure was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically during the spread of the Omicron variant in late 2021 or early 2022, when the state reported critically low ICU bed availability in the Twin Cities metro area. The presence of the mobile morgue underscored the immense strain on healthcare systems during the pandemic's surges.
