Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney has quickly completed a new clinic behind the emergency room to treat patients with a new type of coronavirus, the Daily Telegraph reports.
Currently, patients in Xinzhou are advised to visit the emergency room where they are located and will be isolated if diagnosed. But the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, in Sydney`s inner-city, has only one small emergency room, so a new site has been set up to isolate suspected cases from the public.
According to the new state health department`s guidelines, patients should be referred to westmead hospital as soon as possible. Or, if they arrive at sydney airport in mascot, they should be referred to st. george hospital as much as possible.
Two diagnosed patients, including 21-year-old female students from the University of New South Wales, are now being admitted to Westminster Hospital. The other two men, who were diagnosed earlier yesterday, have been cured and discharged from Westminster Hospital.
A number of new signs have emerged at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, marked in English as "Please follow the arrow to the coronavirus clinic ", with the Chinese word" coronavirus "at the bottom.
The hospital issued a reminder on social media saying:" This is a dedicated space for clinicians in the emergency room. Patients who have been examined at this clinic have previously contacted a GP or called the Health Guide to discuss their symptoms and have been referred to our clinic for testing. "
"If you are taken to a clinic, do not go directly to the hospital. Follow the sign outside the emergency room. "
The new state health department, speaker, confirmed that the clinic had been completed. "The clinic is now operational and I cannot determine the number of staff as the numbers will vary with demand. "
Hand disinfectant is visible on a makeshift table at the entrance to the new clinic, and security lines are pulled up in front of the door.
Prince royal alfred`s hospital has a department of infectious and microbiology, including an outpatient clinic, for returning visitors with tuberculosis, gastroenteritis and other infectious diseases.
The latest official clinical guidelines from the New State Department of Health for the treatment of coronavirus cases say:" If there is sufficient capacity to treat patients
All suspected cases of a new coronavirus in 2019 should be considered for referral to a westminster hospital for safe treatment under isolated air transmission conditions, especially for patients in need of emergency care. If for clinical or other reasons do not transfer to Westminster Hospital, should consider referring to other tertiary hospitals. "
The official guidelines also say the laboratory of the wesmy institute of clinical pathology and medicine (Westmead Institute of Clinical Pathology and Medical Research) has developed a pathological test method for detecting new coronaviruses.
The official notice also said that under the new state`s public health law, the disease is now due to the disease, so all suspected cases must be reported by the doctor to the new state health department.
Patients who are able to safely care for patients in air isolation, especially in need of intensive care support, should consider transferring all suspected 2019-nCoV cases to Westmead Hospital (if for clinical or other reasons it is prohibited to transfer to another level III hospital)..."
