The Huoshenshan Hospital attracted worldwide attention at the beginning of the month. It was built in just a few days in the Chinese city of Wuhan to accommodate patients infected with the coronavirus. The hospital has been officially in operation since February 3, 2020. Busch Vacuum Solutions supplied twelve vacuum pumps for the central vacuum supply of the entire hospital, and they were installed within two days.

In response to the coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan, the authorities quarantined the entire city on January 23. The construction of Huoshenshan Hospital started on the same day. A total of 4,000 workers were deployed during the construction phase, working around the clock in three-shift operation. Busch delivered the vacuum pumps on February 1. They were assembled on site to form a central vacuum system. Via a pipeline network, this system supplies the entire hospital with vacuum for the extraction of body secretions and virus-infected breathing air.
