The Ministry of Health on Friday recommended avoiding unnecessary trips to Vaughan, China, the focus of the Corona virus outbreak, and published guidelines for hospitals to deal with the virus. In the background of the US Department of Prevention and Prevention Center (CDC) announcement, the ministry said it is in contact with all international bodies and professional bodies in the country and around the world, and will regularly update the public on developments.

At this time, no designated hospitals for the admission of patients or blue suspects have been defined, and each hospital should be prepared to treat a suspected or verified patient with the corona. According to the instructions, "Treatment in any case is suspicious or proven to be in a negative pressure isolation room if possible. Personal protection of the treating staff will include contact isolation. Until entering the air isolation, the patient should be treated in an isolated area as much as possible. The patient should wear an oral mask if possible. The medical condition allows this. Care must be taken to disinfect hands, dispose of waste and disinfect the patient's environment after contact with the patient. Care must be taken in respiratory protection when performing aerosol-producing procedures such as intubation and bronchoscopy. "

The Chinese virus has so far taken the lives of 26 people and more than 800 cases of infection have been recorded in countries around the world, including Nepal, Singapore and the United States. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Corona virus an "emergency in China" but does not pose an international concern. A spokesman for the organization said more cases of virus infection are likely to rise in China and are too early to assess its severity. He said, "The focus is not on the number of cases, which we know will increase."
