During the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, 4 towers were converted to emergency field hospitals. On 18 March 2020, the Ministry of Finance announced Kemayoran Athletes Village will be converted to house COVID-19 patients who show only mild symptoms after consultation from doctors.[5][6] The conversion was officially completed on 23 March.[7]

With the 30 December 2022 government announcement on revocation of the Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement, 3 towers of the emergency hospital were decommissioned, leaving only one tower active.[8]
