Title: El Camino Hospital has negative pressure rooms for infectious diseases

The El Camino Hospital Board, on March 11, made a public statement calmly explaining that the hospital has negative pressure rooms that filter air many times to contain infectious diseases, and that the hospital routinely deals with highly infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. The hospital had already been preparing for weeks, he said, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had interviewed an infectious disease nurse at the hospital about the hospital's policies and procedures for contagious diseases. Hospital staff members have been keeping a close eye on their stock of personal protective equipment, and how fast it's being depleted, Woods said. They also have orders pending for new equipment and are also accepting donations of new and unopened containers of the following: gloves, isolation gowns, hard goggles, disposable eye shields, shoe covers, nurse caps, germicidal disinfecting surface wipes, Clorox disinfecting wipes and masks.
