Designation of an isolation area
As one of the first measures implemented, we designated an isolation
area that was physically separate from the main centre[4]. Three negative pressure consultation rooms
have been assigned solely for the review of patients in isolation,
alongside a segregated waiting area. Patients are seated one metre apart
in the waiting area. One consultation room is equipped with an
ultrasound machine to minimise cross contamination from the movement of
patients in isolation to other departments for imaging. The consultation
rooms are thoroughly cleaned and sanitised after each case.
