I was president of the IET for 2016-17, and have been asked by government to gather practical and innovative ideas from our Engineering communities. So, please enter any ideas you might have in this thread that might help address and mitigate the Covid-19 crisis. Ideas might include digital tracking / monitoring through therapy equipment and beyond. Even ideas outside your usual expertise domain will be welcome. Now’s the time for Engineering to show we can change the world!
You're aiming for rapid sterilisation so there's no time to unload the van. My memory of ambulances is somewhat sketchy (I do remember a speed check of 93mph!) but IIRC the sides are covered in drawers full of medical kitm and there will be a defibrillator, etc.
What effect will high levels of ozone have on the stock of drug packages and pre-packed disposable equipment, and the diagnostic electronics and furnishings, to say nothing of the vehicle and its own electronics?
