COVSACK: an innovative portable isolated and safe COVID-19 sample collection kiosk with automatic disinfection 2020-07-05 .txt text/plain 3791 186 54 The possible reasons for the virus transmission to the healthcare worker could be due to (1) lack of sufficient quantity of personal protective equipment (PPE) at the most infected places; (2) PPE provided not meeting the quality standard requirements; (3) inadequate or unsuitable isolation chambers for testing of suspected patients; and (4) prevailing unhygienic conditions in the facilities where COVID-19 positive patients are treated. The healthcare worker who is standing outside the chamber inserts his hands through the long cuff gloves and collects the sample from either nose or throat of COVID-19 patient. At the deployed hospital, the first prototype COVSACK unit stands to be highly effective in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 virus to healthcare workers during sample collection from suspected persons, due its in-built features such as air tightness, use of long cuff gloves and automatic disinfectant spraying followed by thorough water flushing after each patient exits the kiosk. ./cache/cord-028557-68jypaaw.txt ./txt/cord-028557-68jypaaw.txt
