Different Uses For Shipping Containers during Coronavirus COVID 19 Pandemic  

 

Mobile Testing Center 

You can have a container delivered to any location to set up a quick mobile testing center. Containers can also be used as a walk-up testing center with office operations inside to keep patients separated and honor their privacy. 

Temporary Medical Care 

You can set up a triage unit in the container to help assist the hospital with screening and admitting patients. This also keeps these patients separate from others in the emergency room.
