FRONTLINERS at the Penang Hospital, who put their health on the line to test suspected Covid-19 patients, now have an extra safety net — a Covid Test Booth.
Fixed with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, the all-aluminium booth is designed to trap very fine particles effectively, as well as positive pressure, LED lighting and an intercom phone system.
