目的：2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行在全球范围内加速蔓延，全球医疗保健系统因寻求检测和护理的潜在传染病患者而不堪重负。必须建立有效和有用的分区，通过有效使用个人防护设备（PPE）的标准预防措施，防止感染向医务人员或其他患者传播。方法：考虑到气流、医务人员的移动方向，以及防止感染传播给医务人员和其他病人。我们对所有医护人员进行了为期60天的日常状况和体温检查。结果：由于PPE的有效和有用的分区，在此期间没有任何医护人员或其他患者感染COVID-19的证据。结论：应设立专门的病房和房间，以便今后保护医务人员和其他病人，并通过有效和有用的PPE分区来防止COVID-19感染的爆发。
Aim: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has accelerated all over the world, and global health-care systems have become overwhelmed with potentially infectious patients seeking testing and care. It is essential to set up effective and useful zoning to prevent the spread of infection to and from medical staff or other patients with effective use of standard precautions with personal protective equipment (PPE).Methods: We repurposed a general ward into an acute care unit for severe COVID-19 patients taking into consideration airflow, the direction of movement of medical staff, and prevention of the spread of infection to medical staff and other patients. We checked the daily condition and body temperature of all medical staff for 60 days.Results: There was no evidence of COVID-19 infection in any medical staff or other patients during the period thanks to effective and useful zoning with PPE.Conclusion: Special wards and rooms should be set up for future protection of medical staff and other patients, and prevent the explosion of COVID-19 infection with effective and useful zoning with PPE.
