The new crown pneumonia epidemic hit Hong Kong for more than a year, and the AsiaWorld-Expo has been requisitioned several times for epidemic control. At the end of last year, it was converted into a community treatment facility for people with mild illnesses to be admitted.

With the official opening of the Hong Kong Infection Control Center ("Temporary Hospital") at the North Lantau Hospital at the end of last month, after the remaining 3 patients were transferred the day before (12th), the facility was shut down yesterday (13th) and was transferred to "standby" status".

According to Li Liye, a consultant doctor in the emergency department of Tin Shui Wai Hospital, in the third wave and the fourth wave of the epidemic, Yabo shared about 40% to 60% of the confirmed cases in Hong Kong as a whole, and the more than 150 doctors and nurses serving in the facility had "zero confirmed". Described that Yabo helped Hong Kong tide over the difficult time of the epidemic, successfully "completed the task" and handed over to the temporary hospital.

It can be restarted within 72 hours after turning to "standby state"

Li Liye said that the Yabo community treatment facility under the charge of the Hospital Authority was turned into a "standby state" on March 13. Restart within 72 hours.

However, he pointed out that there are as many as 800 beds in the temporary hospital, and he believes that even if the epidemic breaks out, it will be able to cope with it. He described Yabo as completing this task and helping Hong Kong get through the difficult times of the third and fourth waves of the epidemic.

The third and fourth waves received a total of 3,890 patients

Li Liye revealed that during the third wave of the epidemic, Yabo received about 40% of the confirmed cases in Hong Kong, involving more than 890 patients, and had a capacity of about 160 people at the peak; and the fourth wave started, Yabo will receive the disease 24 hours a day, and will also accept the initial The proportion of diagnosed patients and patients transferred from the accident and emergency department has increased to 55% to 60%, with more than 3,000 patients, and more than 450 people at the peak.

Chen Shumin, the manager of the Hospital Authority (Nursing), pointed out that Yabo's non-traditional hospital facilities mainly use video and telephone consultations. It depends on the division of labor by colleagues, leaving instructions for others to distinguish between "contaminated areas" and "clean areas", and work in the facilities. None of the 28 doctors and about 130 nurses in China have been "successful", achieving "zero infection".

She also thanked the doctors and nurses for taking care of the patients' souls, such as arranging the reunion of the confirmed family in the same ward, and staff of different nationalities and races serving as interpreters and communicating with patients.

The male patient, Mr. Zhou, was "recruited" because he was infected with the epidemic at work with his family. He had to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve in Asia Expo. On his 20th birthday, he was given a birthday cake from the "contaminated area" and "clean area" doctors and nurses. .

He bluntly said that he felt uneasy at the beginning of his stay. Fortunately, the environment was clean and the doctors and nurses took care of him. He was very moved and he recovered after 10 days in the doctor.

Lin Chengjun, a registered nurse in the psychiatric department of Kowloon Hospital who created birthday surprises, is mainly responsible for explaining the condition to patients.

She is pleased to have the privilege of cooperating with different medical specialists in various networks and to contribute to Hong Kong: "I have no reason to be willing. I want to have fewer patients. The epidemic will soon pass... If you remove masks someday, you may not know everyone. It's a side, but I will remember every colleague I have worked with at Yabo."

Recently, the epidemic situation in Japan and Hong Kong has repeated again, with shopping malls and fitness center groups appearing successively. Li Liye is happy that Yabo has completed the task, but the epidemic has not ceased, and his mood is still uneasy. I wish Hong Kong people's life will return to normal soon.
