With the current rate of spread of the Influenza A or H1N1 virus, government and private buildings are taking precautionary measures in helping to control and hopefully reduce the spread of this infectious disease particularly at hospitals and health centres.
RIPAS hospital for instance has allocated a public elevator in its lobby area leading to the various wards within the hospital. A lift has been designated specifically for patients diagnosed with H1N1.
Notices have been pasted on the lift as well as wooden stands with the warning "This lift is dedicated for H1N1 only". The main central area that usually acts as a waiting area for queuing patients has been converted into a H1N1 screening area.
