Fig 1

The initial distribution of areas dedicated to COVID-19 patients (i.e., score rooms in red; A) was complemented with newer areas to categorize confirmed, suspected, and negative COVID-19 patients based on laboratory diagnosis and a computer tomography (CT) assisted severity score (B; see text). Different red shading represents areas of high and low COVID-19 transmission risk. Arrows (black) summarize the available patient flow around the hospital with only one elevator available during the first time period (A) and two during the second (B). Areas in grey shading were disabled in order to control movement of personnel. The different floors of the hospital are labeled as F0-F6 in both panels. ICU = intensive care unit; G/O = gynecology and obstetrics; Admin. = administrative offices. CT scan = computer tomography scan.
