Ventilation system and open-air facing entrances make it a well-suited quarantine space

Hard surfaces, easy-to-clean floors and separate heating-and-cooling units in each room: the amenities offered by the suburban EconoLodge motel may not be fancy, but they were just what Seattle-area officials say they were looking for in a quarantine facility for coronavirus patients.
Officials in King County, which is dealing with the worst Covid-19 outbreak in the United States, announced this week that it is buying the motel for $4 million (£3.7m). The deal is expected to close on Friday and officials hope to have the first patients in within days.
But not everyone is putting out the welcome mat.
