方舱医院是一种新颖的公共卫生理念。中国于2020年2月首次实施该等措施，以应对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）爆发。中国的防仓方舱医院是大型临时医院，是通过将现有的公共场所，如体育馆和展览中心，改建成医疗设施而迅速建成的。他们将轻度至中度COVID-19患者与家人和社区隔离，同时提供医疗护理、疾病监测、食物、住所和社交活动。我们记录了2019冠状病毒病在中国爆发期间的方舱医院的发展，并解释了其三个关键特征（快速建设、大规模和低成本）和五个基本功能（隔离、分诊、基本医疗护理、频繁监测和快速转诊，以及基本生活和社会参与）。方仓方舱医院可能成为国家应对COVID-19大流行以及未来流行病和突发公共卫生事件的有力组成部分。
Fangcang shelter hospitals are a novel public health concept. They were implemented for the first time in China in February, 2020, to tackle the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. The Fangcang shelter hospitals in China were large-scale, temporary hospitals, rapidly built by converting existing public venues, such as stadiums and exhibition centres, into health-care facilities. They served to isolate patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 from their families and communities, while providing medical care, disease monitoring, food, shelter, and social activities. We document the development of Fangcang shelter hospitals during the COVID-19 outbreak in China and explain their three key characteristics (rapid construction, massive scale, and low cost) and five essential functions (isolation, triage, basic medical care, frequent monitoring and rapid referral, and essential living and social engagement). Fangcang shelter hospitals could be powerful components of national responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as future epidemics and public health emergencies.
