The Central Epidemic Command Center confirmed today (19th) that 4 more cases were confirmed in the Ministry of Taoyuan Hospital. In just 8 days, the cluster in the hospital expanded to 9 people. Commander Chen Shizhong announced the confirmed footprints and implemented a hospital emptying plan, allowing the Chinese military chemical troops to station in the hospital to assist in disinfection. In this regard, thoracic physician Su Yifeng put forward the suggestion of “regular examination”. He believes that this method can effectively combat nosocomial infections and catch asymptomatic infections.
The command center announced today that there are four new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country, all of whom are contacts of confirmed cases of nosocomial infection. Among them, two of them are family members of nurses living with the confirmed case of 863, namely husband (case 864) and daughter (case 865). ), and 1 case was a work contact (Case 868), and 1 case was a foreign caregiver of hospitalized patients (Case 869).
In consideration of the expansion of the Ministry of Taoism, Chen Shizhong also announced the confirmed footprints, saying that the current four floors of 6, 7, 9, 10 are all guard floors, and 220 patients will be removed today and tomorrow to allow the National Army to send chemical troops to assist in disinfection in the hospital. Chen Shizhong emphasized that this move was a plan to empty the hospital, not a lockdown. In this regard, according to a report from ETtoday, Su Yifeng, a thoracic intensive care physician, believes that closing the hospital will only increase the risk of infection and the frequency of inspections should be increased, with a cycle of 7 to 10 days to increase the frequency of screening.
“It doesn’t end with the first and second collection of Yin.” Su Yifeng gave an example. If someone has touched a doorknob touched by an infected person, but has no history of contact during the epidemic, how should he catch it? Su Yifeng emphasized that as long as the frequency of screening is increased, there is no need to deal with the problem of “one yin collection and two yin collection”. By this method, it is possible to catch asymptomatic infected persons who are discharged from the hospital in a week. “There are hospitals with nosocomial infections That’s the way to do it, check it regularly!”
