The concern about the possible increase in the number of corona cases at any time forces many towns and districts to set up makeshift hospitals. The aim is to expand capacity limits in order to ensure the care of Covid-19 patients. The district of Verden in the north of Germany is a good example of forward-thinking action from a responsible administration. Within a few days, the district administration installed a makeshift hospital in a container village in its parking lot, ready for occupancy.
The makeshift hospital in the container village near the district administration of Verden has been ready for occupancy for a few days now and is equipped; in terms of medicine and nurses, to receive Covid-19 patients with a total of 65 beds. In addition, the district has constructed around 325 places in sports halls and keeps them available as a further reserve. In makeshift hospitals such as the one in Verden, several hundred patients with the most varied needs can be treated, depending on their size: From elderly people who, due to their personal circumstances, require basic care and nursing by medical staff, to patients with severe Covid-19 symptoms requiring intensive medical treatment.
At the same time, such people have a right to the preservation of their personal privacy. The normally unshielded halls, usually equipped with communal showers and changing rooms without partitions, allow efficient treatment of a large number of patients in a very small space. However, they do not allow the necessary minimum of consideration of human privacy – for example, for personal hygiene or separate toilets, especially for older patients and those in need of care. The solution here is to use privacy screens such as the VarioScreen-privacy screen offered by Trotec: This allows even large halls to be divided into opaque and hidden treatment and supply units in just a few seconds.
VarioScreen privacy screens- areas protected from view and quickly installed
With the help of Trotec’s VarioScreen privacy screens, the otherwise open rows of beds can be transformed in seconds into screened single or multi-bed areas as required – simply separated by a straight partition wall, but also in L and U shapes as desired. Thus, the privacy screens are optimally suited for dividing or separating a large hall into different departments, depending on gender and age group, severity of illness or intensity of care. The flame retardant VarioScreen privacy screens conform to fire protection requirements and can be implemented without reservation in closed rooms for segregating sleeping areas.
Limitless flexibility in terms of length and set-up variants
In order to segregate large areas, several privacy screens (7.2 m standard length) can be connected quickly and simply with the help of zippers. This functionality creates a virtually endless extended privacy protection or sector room divider. Three articulated joints per module make setting it up highly flexible. The privacy screen can be set up as a semicircle, as a zigzag or as a classical angular wall. A field can be rearranged within seconds.
