Summary

In this study, a patient space occupied by a patient with confirmed COVID-19 in an open-space multiple bed area in the Intermediate Care Unit will be equipped with a mobile, optimally placed high efficiency particulate air ("HEPA")-equivalent air filtration unit ("Baldachin") in addition to existing hospital policy infection prevention and control measures. The investigators are going to evaluate this intervention regarding its capacity to prevent the nosocomial onwards transmission of Sars-COV2 to patients located in the same multiple-bed open space patient area.
