05 Mar COVID-19 Medical Tents and Testing Stations
Blackhawk has joined the fight against the Coronavirus by immediately stepping up with the support that our overstretched healthcare services are looking for. When dealing with an infectious disease like COVID-19, the ability to respond quickly is vital. Blackhawk’s pop-up emergency tents are ideal for instant installation as testing sites and are perfect temporary solutions to deal with rapidly evolving infectious disease situations.
The wide range of sizes of Blackhawk gazebos and pavilion marquees enable every site to set up the correct configuration of cover they need to perform urgent public health services. These robust, waterproof gazebos are very quick to set up and can function as COVID-19 walk-up test stations, drive-through test stations, triage tents. Both the medical staff and the public are adequately covered from the weather while testing is conducted.
Blackhawk’s reliable, high-quality craftsmanship ensures that our COVID-19 gazebos are the go-to solution for outbreak response teams having to respond with essential services in a new location at very short notice.
Drive-through pavilion testing stations can be set up for COVID-19 testing at road-blocks and test stations. Smaller emergency tents can be established as temperature testing sites, or for COVID-19 detection, at workplaces or education hubs like schools and universities.
Medical staff protected by Blackhawk’s mobile testing gazebo can:
- Record temperatures
- Take samples to test for COVID-19
- Conduct antibody checks
Testing procedure medical tents with dedicated walls will provide a protective barrier between the medical staff and the public while testing is conducted. Documents and records can be safely passed through apertures in the walls for check-in, samples and labelling.
Once the testing has been performed, the protective sleeves enable healthcare staff to evaluate each sample and record and pass on the results, while maintaining total separation from the patient.
Blackhawk gazebos can be erected within minutes, both indoors and outdoors, to ensure the best traffic flow to and from buildings or on our roads. They are extremely convenient because no tools or trade skills are required, and there is no red tape causing delays. There is no requirement to apply to local council for permits to establish these temporary structures. This allows immediate responses, at any time, in any location, allowing the medical team to focus on delivering care without logistics hassles and delays.
