Infection control risk assessment (ICRA) requirements call for six feet of spatial separation between infected sources and susceptible hosts, so building cubicles and barriers may be necessary in waiting rooms, triage areas, and treatment spaces. In addition, it's best practice to use single-bed rooms for patients whenever possible. When single rooms aren’t available it's important to ensure the same ICRA spatial separation recommendations are met.
