About the work

Urban car parks have a number of very convenient characteristics for Covid testing campaigns.
A car park allows for significant flows of people in an orderly manner and offers protection againts weather conditions, in addition to facilitating the implementation of the necessary separation and control conditions. It is also expected that the majority of car parks in city centers will have low occupancy levels whilst mobility restrictions are in force.

The objective of this Guide is to advise those who must make the decision, from a technical point of view, on the criteria to identify the most suitable car parks, the elements that must be considered and reviewed prior to installation and other recommendations on the procedure.
The Guide refers to urban urban car parks, underground or non-underground in buildings. Outdoor car parks are excluded. It is also important to note that car parks are one of the possible alternatives and should not be considered the only one, but rather as an additional and complementary resource to other options in the search for locations to carry out the tests.

This document has been developed non-commercially and for free by Project Group 5 of the community of volunteers #InfraestructurasCovid, which brings together professionals from the infrastructure and other related sectors - engineers, architects, technicians, etc.- collaborating with the objective of helping those who make public and private infrastructure decisions during the crisis, in the recovery phase and in the future.
