The facility measures 6X26m and has 15 beds and two toilets. "Airflow is directed one way from front to rear with side vents that discharge air away from each bed and prevent recirculation," WTA Design Studio wrote on its website.
The Barretto sisters started the fundraiser last April 4 with the aim to provide an additional facility amid the overcrowding in the hospitals due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the country.
