Unit 81 is using its technological expertise to develop a breakthrough in the fight against #COVID19 together with @IsraelMOH & @Mdais. Here's how:

• Enabling ambulances to evacuate coronavirus patients by developing a special shield & separate ventilation to protect ambulance drivers.
• Developing advanced information management software to improve efficiency of lab checks for #COVID19 testing kits.
