One such idea led to the creation of disposable cardboard beds for patients that can be recycled. The concept is not only helping India in its fight against the deadly virus but is also making its way into the UAE and other countries.
The disposable beds that are being extensively used at quarantine or isolation centres across the country weigh only 7kg and can be assembled in under 10 minutes without any screws, nails or adhesive.
Dubai resident Mahesh Kumar, whose company Regent General Trading is the exclusive distributor of the beds in the region, said: "We have about 3,000 beds stocked here and are in talks with the authorities to get the final approvals. Once it is done, we are looking to market them at Dh100 per bed."
"The biggest selling point of these cardboard beds are that they can be disposed of in an eco-friendly manner. Since these beds are made of cardboard, survival chance of the virus on such a surface can be only for 24 hours while on other surfaces such as metal, wood or plastic the virus can stay up to four days. They are quite durable as the cardboard with which they are made of is also chemically coated to resist moisture and can last up to six months or more.
Kumar added that the bed can support a person weighing up to 200kg and comes in a flat-pack box.
"These days it is important to ensure that everything we use should be sanitised thoroughly. Therefore, using disposable products would be our safest bet to keep this virus at bay."
Mihir said that his company's concept has also been recognised by the Prime Minister's office in India and has featured in India's top 10 innovations. -
