Looking back on the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand that began to intensify during the period of March and April, it was a big test for every one of us as we need to adjust our daily behavior in order to be safe and to stop the spread of coronavirus. Medical personnel, however, had to do more since their duty was to take care of the patients while putting themselves at risk as they were at the front and center of the pandemic.

Putting a stop to COVID-19 crisis with “negative pressure room”
Over the past months, medical personnel who had to be at the center of the battle with COVID-19 has received an overwhelmed support from everyone but the real support that should help them fight effectively lies in adequate medical equipment with quality, particularly the negative pressure room. It has an isolation technique designed to prevent the air spread from inside to outside of the room. It is important to keep the air inside the room that is being used for treating patients infected with the virus as germs or droplets by sneezing or coughing from patients can be contaminated. The negative pressure room is, therefore, one of the key factors in helping to stop the spread of coronavirus. It also provides peace of mind for medical personnel who must take care of the patients directly.
