When entering a hot zone there are many precautions and precedures taken to secure the safety of those going into the hot zone and the possible spread of the pathogens in the hot zone. First, anybody that is entering a hot zone, or a level 4 biosafety area, must wear a multilayered Hazmat suit that is equipt with a personal life support system. Second, the hot zone itself must be isolated from any surrounding building or other parts of the building it is in.
Third, to enter and exit a hot zone one must go through multiple rooms that include shower rooms, ultraviolent rooms, vacuum room, and other rooms with safety precautions designed to kill the virus. Also the rooms are secured with multiple airlock systems. Fourth, all water used in these rooms or in the hot zone itself goes through processes to kill the viruses. Lastly, all people that enter the hot zones must be thoroughly trained in what to do in an emergancy and what precedures to take when there isn't an emergancy.
