RSK ASSISTANCE
IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
3. PHYSICAL DISTANCING
This simple kit empowers families to achieve physical distancing or self- isolation during a pandemic.
Families having to share the same airspace with others, or where living space is overcrowded, are at a high risk of infection.
This kit, costing less than USD $6 for the complete frame, provides an affordable means of managing transmission of highly infections variants. The frame can support tarpaulins and a range of locally available cladding materials from thatch to wooden planks.

Furthermore, unlike a tent, the lower edge of the roof frame can be elevated onto posts or a low wall to provide improved living space.
The emergency RSK shelter kit consists of only 9 bamboo poles and is easily carried. It can be assembled in 40 minutes and disassembled in 5 minutes.
