Container vans
NATAPOS na ng Department of Public Works and Highway ang paggawa ng 120 mobile rooms mula sa mga container vans na magagamit bilang quarantine facility.
“120 mobile rooms have already been deployed at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Complex, Pasay City,” ani DPWH Sec. Mark Villar.
Katuwang ng DPWH sa proyekto ang Villar Group of Companies.
Bukod sa quarantine facility, ang mga mobile rooms ay maaari ring gamiting temporary shelter ng mga doktor, nurse at iba pang health workers.
“PUIs and PUMs may be housed in the We Heal As One Center – CCP while awaiting for results. The 30 units of shipping containers can accommodate a total of 120 individuals,” saad ng kalihim.
Dahil nasa CCP, maaari itong gamitin ng mga nagtatrabaho sa mega quarantine facilities sa PICC, World Trade Center at Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
Ang isang 20-footer container van ay hinati sa apat na kuwarto. Mayroon itong kanya-kanyang banyo at mayroong air-conditioning unit.
“More than providing facilities for sleeping, medical personnel need not travel from hospitals and/or health facilities to their residences putting at risk the health and safety of their respective families due to their regular exposure to COVID-19 patients,” saad ni Villar.
“The location of CCP is very strategic. It is close to quarantine facilities as well as level 2 and level 3 hospitals. This will serve as prototype for accommodation rooms for heath care workers as well as PUIs and PUMs.”
