Such PPE must include an N95 respirator, a pair of goggles or a face shield, a gown, and a pair of gloves.4 However, this set of PPE cannot cover all surfaces of the body. Thus, to minimize the risk of exposure to the pathogen, and to conserve PPE, we constructed a building-integrated sampling station. Designed by Tseng Yu-Chi and Tseng Kai-Chen, this station has a sealed acrylic window serving as a physical barrier separating the interior (where the physician is) from the exterior (where the patient is), and a pair of sealed rubber gloves affixed to the station for the physician to perform
