Hospital emergency management plan during 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in non-epidemic areas.

ABSTRACT

The outbreak of the acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has spread around the world and poses a challenge to clinical frontline nursing staff. In the early stage of the epidemic, our hospital responded promptly and added pertinent prevention measures on the basis of the existing fever clinic (FC) to ensure zero infection of medical staff and patients. The experience of the fever screening site establishment, epidemiologic investigation procedure amelioration, and integrated fever management will be introduced in the communication.
