The whole city was in panic for more than seven months of fighting the epidemic, but a few children had a great time. They forgot their parents and they lived in the hospital ward. They knocked on the floor-to-ceiling glass across the side to attract the attention of medical staff, and they held their own paintings. Ask medical staff to see his paintings.
The medical staff said that the child who was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia two days ago had just been admitted to the hospital alone, separated from his family, and was still crying.
Except for a few-year-old children who quickly adapt to the life of hospital treatment, the one-year-old baby recovers after living with his father for more than 50 days in the hospital and is reluctant to leave the ward, which surprises parents and medical staff.
They are all unexpected. I thought he would be so happy to see me, but it was not.
Rehabilitation mother Miss Li (pseudonym) intends to take his recovered son home, but the son refuses to leave the ward
A 3-year-old kid was admitted to the hospital crying to find his mother and had fun with Gu Zhu looking for a sick child two days later
Chen Yingfei, a senior nurse at Princess Margaret Hospital (Infectious Disease Center), has been taking care of children who have been diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia for months. She said that there are fewer children with complications and their condition is relatively stable. Medical staff mainly take care of their mood.
There are children under ten years of age who are diagnosed, but their parents may not be the patients. Children have to be admitted to the hospital by themselves. They are not good at expressing and asking about the condition. Medical staff should greet them more to discover the condition.
Chen Yingfei was worried that it would be difficult for the young children to leave their parents. One of the children, about three years old, would cry and try to find their mother when they were admitted to the hospital. They kept pressing the bell to find the medical staff. They entered the room to help the children contact their mother by video call.
The ward is equipped with multi-sided glass instead of four walls. Children can see the medical staff working outside the room through a floor-to-ceiling glass, so that they will not panic.
Two days later, the child played well with other children in the quadruple room, but the mother took the initiative to call and ask why the child did not look for her.
She said that the children would "be so fun to bury a glass to pretend to be my place, and bury a glass to watch me do something."
They took the initiative to knock on the glass and wave their hands while the medical staff were working, making quirky expressions to attract the attention of the medical staff, sticking their paintings to the glass and asking them to rate them.
Every time Chen Yingfei leaves the isolation ward and removes her personal protective equipment, she interacts with the child patient through the ward glass.

He refused to step out of the ward and left my father very embarrassed
The hospital also accepted a 16-month-old boy who was diagnosed. The mother, Ms. Li (a pseudonym) who was diagnosed first, was admitted to a separate ward earlier than him, and then took care of his father and another floor in the hospital.
The mother was separated from her son for a long time for the first time, but the WiFi network in her ward was weak, and she couldn't talk with her son's video phone and was in a bad mood. She thanked the doctor for buying her a phone data card.
The hospital allowed the discharged father to take care of the baby boy until he recovered. Unexpectedly, when he was discharged from the hospital more than 50 days later, the boy cried and insisted on not leaving the ward for half a step. "As if he knew no turning back," his father was very embarrassed and asked the nurse to comfort him. And sending them away made Ms. Li feel profound and surprised: "They are all unexpected. I thought she would be so happy to see me, but it's not the same." She later bought back exactly the same toys. All sons who are used to the hospital environment I'm not happy, but it slowly improves after a month.
When the indifferent international student was discharged from the hospital, he quietly left a heart card
Guan Rihua, a consultant doctor in the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases of Princess Margaret Hospital who bought a phone card for Ms. Li, recalled that the 16-month-old boy was the youngest patient in their treatment. "As if facing a big enemy, he had no experience at all. He had touched the stones. He!" He said that after the children are discharged from the hospital, they may not adapt and have personality changes. Parents should pay more attention to their children.
Guan Rihua thanked the patients for understanding that they were "trapped" in the hospital for many days. What touched him most was that Miss Li wrote on the heart card thanking them for protecting Hong Kong and giving the team motivation.
Chen Yingfei said that the foreign students who were diagnosed with indifference would quietly leave a heart-warming card, which was mixed with Chinese and English and used trendy language.
Children and adolescent patients may need to be treated in isolation from their families. Guan Rihua acts as a "surrogate parent" to take care of the patients and maintain close contact with the patients' parents.

Eight hospitals can accept underage patients
Guan Rihua said that the hospital allows parents of children with new coronary pneumonia under the age of 8 to be taken care of. The hospital will teach parents who are not infected to take infection control measures. They need to wear personal protective equipment and the ward is equipped with comfortable chairs for them to rest.
There are eight hospitals in Hong Kong accepting patients aged 18 or under. As of August 25, Princess Margaret Hospital has accepted 76 pediatric patients, including 30 girls and 46 boys. The youngest is a baby several months old. .
The hospital stated that the recovery of all people was satisfactory. As of last week, only one child patient was still in hospital.
