These highly specialized units have been designed with many different infection prevention and control features, among them:

Negative airflow: Clean, filtered air comes in without letting the contaminated air out.

Windows and intercoms: Nurses can interact with patients without having to don all of their protective equipment.

Waste protocols: At Emory, disposable goods are first pressure-steamed, and then incinerated. Body fluids (such as urine) are treated for at least five minutes with bleach or detergent before being flushed.

Biopods: Also called isopods, they are giant containment umbrellas or bubbles that fit tightly over gurneys so that staff can take someone from outside into the isolation ward safely.
