At present, many countries and regions around the world are facing the Covid-19 crisis. Governments are looking for ways to deal with the severe epidemic. One of the key things to deal with the epidemic is how to solve the problem of shortage of medical supplies, such as doctors, hospitals, drugs, and protective supplies.
Suspected patients and confirmed patients in many areas cannot receive timely contain and treatment because of local medical conditions, which greatly increases the risk of infecting other healthy people. Therefore, many places have adopted inflatable tents to ease emergencies.
Kirkpatrick, a volunteer doctor in Dobbins, USA, said they will build a huge inflatable tent for use as a hospital. The Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in Bacolod City has also provided an inflatable tent as a shelter for Covid-19 patients outside the hospital. Dr Galia Barkai, of Sheba Tel Hashomer Medical Center in central Israel, said they would build an inflatable tent with basic equipment to help doctors treat patients and protect employees from infection.
In addition to the above three areas, there are many areas where emergency inflatable medical tents are used as temporary outdoor hospitals. Because the number of existing hospitals is not enough to accommodate existing or potential patients, and the hospital cannot be quickly constructed in a short time, it is the best solution to build inflatable medical tents as temporary outdoor patient shelters.
In addition, we personally need to take daily protective measures to reduce the risk of infection. We should do the following: wear face masks, wash hands frequently, disinfect daily, reduce contact with others, and avoid places where people gather. |
