  • 1.  COVID patients in Regular Rooms

    Posted 10-07-2024 17:25

    Hi!  Does anyone have a sign for a COVID patient put in a regular room because negative pressure isn't available.  Do you still put up the AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS sign or do you have a modified sign for these patients?

    Hi Denise,

    Does your engineering team have an air scrubber that can be ducted to the outside for use in the regular room, to create negative pressure?
