The next day, when the social health nurse went to the patient’s home to follow up the situation, she found that the patient had a slight shortness of breath. She arranged for the patient to seek treatment in the emergency department of the hospital. The lung X-ray showed mild pneumonia. The medical staff arranged a nasopharyngeal swab for her. The patient is initially positive. The patient is currently hospitalized in the isolation ward and is in stable condition.
The nosocomial infection control team immediately conducted a contact follow-up investigation and found that there were two female patients who were admitted to the same condition, aged 84 and 71 years, and tested positive.
There are 11 close contacts of the three patients. One of them passed away due to his own disease, and the other has been discharged from the hospital. The hospital has been referred to the Health Protection Center for follow-up.
The remaining nine hospitalized patients and the dead patients all tested negative and are receiving isolation treatment in the hospital.
The hospital also tested other patients in the ward and all the results were negative.
The hospital tested 14 patients who were transferred from the ward to Haven of Hope Hospital and the results were also negative.
Medical staff in Huai'an and internal medicine wards are undergoing tests one after another, and all results have been negative so far.
The test results of environmental samples taken from the relevant cases were also negative.
The hospital immediately suspended the relevant wards for receiving new cases and discharge arrangements, as well as suspending compassionate visits, and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting them.
Since the patient did not wear a mask correctly when the social health nurse made a home visit, the nurse was listed as a close contact and required isolation and quarantine.
The Hospital Authority announced on December 24 that one more ward nurse was listed as a close contact because the patient had a cough while feeding the patient, so the nurse was a close contact.
The Hospital Authority stated earlier that the suspected patient was infected and was related to compassionate visits. The 3 initially confirmed patients in the ward had been visited by 6 family members, but it was unable to determine the route of transmission.
