case_images: Containment Room. External view of containment room emergently constructed by Hospital Plant Operations to separate the hallway outside of the operating room from the operating room. The inner chamber (approx. 1 x 3 meters wide by length) allowed for passage of supplies into the operating room without directly exposing the external area to the internal operating room. Only one door was allowed to be open at a time and a small table was placed inside to place objects needed by the surgical Team. Dry erase boards were used to communicate via the window
