The BDF Hospital continues to take all precautionary measures and preventive measures to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, as it has provided portable chambers for the isolation of suspected coronavirus cases, said Lt. Col. Dr. Manaf Al Qahtani, Member of the National Taskforce for Combating Coronavirus (COVID-19) in a press conference.
♦ Over 1,800 active coronavirus cases are asymptomatic
The Military Hospital is one of the first hospitals in the Kingdom of Bahrain to install such equipment.
“The BDF emergency department screens all patients by visual triage, identifying and quickly isolating suspected COVID-19 cases within the isolation chamber. The portable chambers are designed to minimise direct contact with contagious patients and the health workers,” he added.
