Abstract

COVID-19 is a global crisis, the infectious nature of the COVID-19 has put a tremendous burden on world's healthcare system; be it a rural primary healthcare centre or the biggest urban hospital. The struggle for isolation wards is rising along with the daily surge of COVID-19 cases across the country. On the other hand, worldwide dead bodies are being stockpiled in temporary morgues and funerals delayed, causing further misery for relatives of those who have lost their lives to the virus. This desperate shortage of isolation beds & coffins has prompted us to design simple ready to assemble isolation cabins & coffin boxes to meet the demand of coronavirus victims across the world. Hexpressions is working on a product-service innovation providing eco-friendly, fast, modular, and ready to assemble Isolation cabins & coffin boxes for COVID-19 patients by using paper honeycomb panels and cardboard .The COVID 19 virus can stay on Paper honeycomb and cardboards only for 24 hours, making it ideal for use. Paper honeycomb is water-resistant and coated with disinfectant silver nano coating which makes it safe for hospital usage. These knock down products can be assembled within 5 mins without any additional hardwares or tools required.
