As the Coronavirus (COVID-19, 2019-nCoV) starts to appear in cities across the U.S., healthcare facilities are taking precautions in order to minimize the spread of the virus while maximizing a patient’s treatment options. One way that patient and caregiver safety is managed is through containment during transport and treatment with our ISOPOD system. The ISOPOD is a portable negative pressure isolation system designed for individual patients. Not only can contagious patients be transported safely and efficiently, but it also allows healthcare professionals to perform life-saving medical procedures in an uncontaminated environment, even while on the move as we see here in Nebraska.

As we all come together to fight this novel virus, please stay informed on how you can keep yourself as safe as possible.

Here is the most up to date advice for the public from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Wash your hands frequently



Maintain social distancing


Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain a virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth


Practice respiratory hygiene






Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider
