Overview:  
 
Abstract: The subject quarantine rooms are an open range with very different aspects to researching. To develop a quarantine room is not a one-man job. It is in every single case important to look at all the options and to choose what is needed. The cultural institution does not have a quarantine room to manage situations like contamination as well. A quarantine room would make the isolating and treatment process easier. This workspace will allow the staff to take care of it better. Communication and briefing are the most important things overall. Problems can be tackled before they grow out of order.
To work efficiently with time, money, and energy the box-in-the-box system is very helpful. My biggest goal is to discover the basics of a quarantine room. I also developed a short intake report to write down the most essential object data. When the object is wrapped in plastic this report can be attached to the object. Without opening the package it is clear which object is in the quarantine room.
Prevention is always the best option. Frequent checks and cleaning are necessary to make sure the collection stays safe.
