[Encuentro de Taoyuan]Hospital updates the biggest risk in the red zone Chen Shizhong: 3 kinds of people are prohibited from leaving immediately! 5,000 people will be quarantined | Apple News | Apple Daily

Chen Shizhong, the commander of the Epidemic Central Command Center, announced late at night that after Peach Medical’s fire prevention expansion, Kuang included the target at 5,000. In a short period of time, PCR, serum and other tests are still involved, so I hope I prefer to enumerate more people sooner to minimize the risk of community infection.

Chen Shizhong held a second temporary press conference at 6:35 p.m. and said he decided to expand measures to trace hospital contacts. The relevant scope of (1) discharged patients and their residents, (2) accompanying patients and their residents, and (3) cases 889 related contacts during medical treatment will be included in home isolation until after discharge from hospital 14 To those who have completed the 14-day home quarantine, will organize for inspection and will continue to undergo a 7-day independent health management; In addition, for those who have not completed the 14-day home quarantine, they will continue to complete the home quarantine before they will arrange for inspection.

Chen Shizhong said that the current command center will no longer be covered by floors, and the entire medical building is listed as a red zone, and the home isolation will be extended from January 6 to 19. After discussing this decision at an expert meeting, it was believed that when such a warning came out, a more comprehensive firewall should be built. After the expansion of the firewall, the initial estimate of the number of people listed could reach 5,000.

Chen Shizhong said that at present, we will first contact the discharged patients, and then we will list the patients accompanying the patient, and then we will list the patients who are visiting, and we hope that these subjects will not leave immediately.

Chen Shizhong said that the command center currently considers the entire building a high-risk area, and considers that there are still deficiencies in the intensity of the discharged subjects. Therefore, the subject list is added again and it is recommended not to go.

Taoyuan Hospital Group Incident, today (January 24) there are 889 hospitalized patients and 890 accompanying relatives cases, and the floors of these 2 cases are not floors 6 and 7 related to index case 838, floors 9 and 10 were originally classified as “Green Zones” and should only be used for autonomous health management. Today, with the addition of new cases, the Command Center also rarely changed the “Green Zone to the Red Zone” as a remedy. Intensified quarantine measures; Household infections disease doctors demand that when the clean area (uncontaminated area) of the hospital is no longer guarded, it means that the entire hospital is lost. You no longer need to chase a case zone, and the group compartment needs to be expanded; Li Bingying of National Taiwan University, a physician in charge of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital, also believes that if green turns red, the entire building should be changed to the “red zone.”

In the Taoyuan Hospital Group incident, two more confirmed cases have been added today. The cumulative number of confirmed cases has reached 15 cases, including 889, a 60-year-old man, and his accompanying relative 890. Two cases were established in Taoyuan. The hospital floor is 12A. It is not considered related to the index case, Case 838 in the epidemic investigation, and there are floors of the red zone where confirmed cases occur. Floors 6, 7, 9 and 10 were originally Thought by the command center The 12A floor of the “Green Zone”, which has no direct contact with confirmed cases, has also rarely changed the “Green Zone to Red Zone” due to two confirmed cases.

The hospital includes areas 12A, 12B and 10A that were originally designated as “green zones”, but all have been converted to “red zones”.

Does the transition from the green zone to the red zone mean that there is a problem with the direction of the epidemic? An unidentified infectious disease doctor told Apple News that the primary route of infection in this case was environmental contact infection, and that environmental contact infections should be avoided. Those on the way from the hospital isolation ward to the clean area should clean up such as washing hands and removing clothing. Implementation of the “buffer” process of the protective clothing process is particularly important. Once the clean area in the hospital, such as the doctor’s rest area, falls, it will be difficult for the hospital to resist the risk of infection throughout the hospital.

As for the rare case of this epidemic, the “green zone” that was originally considered safe became a “red zone”. An anonymous doctor believes that this is the result of the fall of the clean area of ​​the hospital, and then goes after the footprint of 838 cases. It is no longer necessary for the entire hospital to be divided into red, yellow and green areas.

The doctor believes that the highest priority should be divided into three circles, to list more possible contacts as quarantine objects as soon as possible and to separate the hospital from the community as soon as possible. It is understood that the non-hospital space on the 11th floor of the hospital belongs to the nursing home and is still in operation and is not in the red zone indicated by the command center. However, the current stairs up and down the nursing home have been attacked by the red zone.The expert also believes that since the possibility of staff moving on different floors cannot be ruled out, the relevant nursing home staff it must be strengthened with quarantine and quarantine measures.

Li Bingying, attending physician at the Infectious Diseases Department at National Taiwan University Children’s Hospital, said that if there are confirmed cases in the green zone that was originally thought, the chance of environmental infections has increased. An elevator, etc. In theory, 11th floor nursing homes that are not hospitals should also be classified as red zones.

Since medical staff and patients that were previously established as the “green zone” only need to manage their own health, they have been active in the community for a period of time, but now it has been changed to the “red zone”. does the community already have potential risks? Li Bingying said that this is indeed a risk for the community, so the two weeks are also key and the public must also be prepared.

The command center has not yet converted all areas of the hospital to the red zone. What advice do medical staff and people have for the red zone? Li Bingying said that as long as they have symptoms, they can immediately notify medical personnel and people in these areas for testing and implement stricter independent health management, which can also help prevent the spread of the epidemic.
