The theme you present is very interesting and pertinent. The studies on COVID-19 are fundamental for us to understand what happened and prepare ourselves for the future. 
In general your article is well written and interesting, but you should improve the following:

Reviewer 2 Report

The analysis of the characteristics of patients admitted to the field hospital along with the evaluation of their health condition provides the basis for better organization of health care, already burdened by the ongoing epidemic;
An epidemic is a kind of cataclysm, and in mass incidents we triage patients. Therefore, I consider the study valuable and helpful in planning the organization of health care in times of crisis.
Nevertheless, I recommend that you amend the manuscript.
There are too many patient characteristics - ok, it should be because it implies further actions, but in the paragraph on the purpose of the study we read "The experience gained during the development of a field hospital will allow for better preparation, organizing resources of further such units and more optimal hospital. use of medical personnel and equipment for managing COVID-19 patients in the field hospital. "
Please refer to this issue; To what extent has this objective been achieved? How and to what extent can this research contribute to better organization of healthcare? Only the discussion of this topic would be really valuable in this work; the subject of the work promises a lot but in my opinion the results and the discussion do not reflect the given issue;
Additionally, please change the discussion - too much data strictly repeated from the results of the work, too little discussion.
