G’day

Is that a negative pressure theatre to stop any aerosols getting out to the
corridors etc?

We are looking at converting a positive pressure theatre to a -15Pa
negative pressure theatre just for Covid19 patients.

Our concern is introducing particles from outside to the sterile zone.

Cheers
