Webclip – Water and Sanitation in COVID intervention in Tijuana – EN

Rot. Loc:
Auxiliary hospital unit for COVID-19
Tijuana, Mexico

Rot. Persona:
Ralph Joseph Thompson
Water and sanitation manager

Subs:
If the staff gets sick,
or even if one gets sick,

then the whole hospital
would have to close

because everyone
would go into quarantine.

It’s a really high level of hygiene
that we have to maintain.

The entire hospital gets cleaned
twice per day.

The staff has to use protective equipment.

They have to know how to put it on
and take it off safely

without risk of contaminating
themselves.

Rot. Persona:
Sonia-Eloie Belanger Jacques
Nurse activity manager

One of the challenges was,

with this site
that was already existing,

to come up with a circuit

of red zones, that is contaminated,

and clean zone,
that is not contaminated.

With entrance and exits

that we had, which was three.

In order to not cross each other.

So it’s kind of a puzzle to try to…

to have a flow of patients
and staff


in order to not cross the zones
for cross contamination.
