The Air Force is using a modified shipping container to transport COVID-19 patients worldwide.
The shipping container was designed to move patients without infecting the crews of the transport planes carrying
them.
Each shipping container can carry up to eight patients on stretchers.
The U.S. Air Force is using modified shipping containers to safely transport people with the coronavirus from one location to another. The containers are designed to carry patients on stretchers or on foot, and are loaded into the back of heavy transport planes. A specially designed air filtration system ensures the virus does not escape the container to pose a danger to the air crew.
