Handling Corona affected patients is extremely challenging. Shifting these patients from point to point can be life threatening for all those who come in the vicinity – the doctors, the nurses, the attendants, paramedical staff, hygiene workers, drivers and even all those people who are passing by the same route. Shifting patient from one bed to another, shifting from ward to ICU, taking the patient for special investigations like X-ray, CT scan, MRI, using ambulance for them – means risk of infecting the whole passage and every surface that patient encounters.
To overcome this challenge, it was very much essential to make available a transport System – Safe for all! Keeping this in mind, young doctors of *Aureus Institute of* Medical Sciences (A State of Art Multi-specialty* *Hospital* ), Nagpur took lead; spent from their own pockets and designed a very novel system – COVI – SAFE – the FIRST of its kind in India. The system includes a transparent closed vessel.
