Resumen
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a substantial challenge to global healthcare
systems. We hope to share our institution’s experience of using open, non-negative pressure cohort
wards to deliver safe care to COVID-19 patients, as well as experience with a multi-specialty team to
run the cohort wards. Our institution is a 1000-bedded tertiary, public hospital with a mixture of
single occupancy rooms, and open multi-bedded cubicles.
