Mexico turns ex-presidential residence into coronavirus base for nurses, doctors

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico has transformed the luxurious former presidential "Los Pinos" complex, which was for many decades the country's most prestigious residence, into a temporary home for healthcare workers battling the coronavirus outbreak.

Once famed for its sumptuousness, the sprawling residence now appears sparse with converted rooms housing modest single beds with crisp white sheets and grey metal lockers, similar to those found in hospital changing rooms.
