This van supplied by the Nippon Foundation has been modified to stop the circulation of airborne droplets. To prevent air from the passenger compartment entering the driver’s compartment, the two zones are separated by a plastic sheet, and the driver’s compartment is maintained at a higher pressure than the passenger compartment, keeping air flowing one way only.
