With the continuous outbreak of new coronary pneumonia, many cases involve large groups, and the demand for transporting people in isolation has greatly increased. Hospital non-emergency ambulance transport services are often used. Currently, a support staff responsible for transporting at Queen Elizabeth Hospital has been diagnosed. However, non-emergency medical support personnel are only equipped with general surgical masks when traveling to and from high-risk places, which is no different from the general public. Some workers pointed out that the SARS time practices are completely different.
