FROM BLUFFTON ICON – Some health professionals call it the Superman booth.
Whatever you call it, a Bluffton-made product has immediate use for health care professionals testing persons who may have the COVID-19 virus.
A three-and-one-half week crash-course group effort by associates at GROB Systems resulted in creation of 11 testing booths that GROB is donating to area hospitals. The booths are being delivered this week.
The booths were created in GROB’s fabrication department, according to Emily Brock, GROB’s marketing coordinator.
“We looked at prototypes from Boston, New York and South Korea before creating our own booth,” she said.
