On the afternoon of August 16, Beijing held the 240th press conference on the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic. Li Ang, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, said that clusters of epidemics occurred in many places in the country recently, and there were also 9 local confirmed cases of COVID-19 related to places outside Beijing. In accordance with the requirements of the Beijing Leading Group for Prevention and Control Work of COVID-19 Epidemic, Beijing has implemented closed management of medium-risk areas and related communities.
In order to coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and medical services, the Team for Medical Treatment and Prevention of Nosocomial Infection requires all medical institutions in Beijing to strictly implement various prevention and control measures, and do a good job in the medical services in Beijing, especially for the persons in isolation and observation.
1. All medical institutions shall promptly update and understand the epidemic sites such as buildings, village groups, etc., where cases have appeared in accordance with the epidemic information issued by the state.
2. For the people who came (returned) to Beijing from places where the local confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported, each medical institution immediately initiated the epidemiological contact history inquiry and checked the nucleic acid test. People from medium and high-risk areas coming or returning to Beijing for medical treatment, should go to a doctor after completing quarantine and observation in principle. If it is necessary to seek medical treatment, the district should do the relevant work in accordance with the procedures for the medical treatment of personnel in the controlled area.
3. After registering in fever clinics, nucleic acid tests should be taken and corresponding examinations should be arranged as soon as possible.
4. If there are controlled communities (villages) in any district, medical service teams should be established as soon as possible to meet the basic medical needs of residents. For patients with symptoms such as fever, the controlled community or the isolation observation point will assist in calling the emergency center and transfer the patient to the designated hospital in a closed loop.
5. Medical institutions that carry out hemodialysis should carry out nucleic acid tests on dialysis patients in accordance with the requirements of "testing for all possibility", and establish a time-based dialysis mechanism.
6. If there is a sudden abnormal situation of pregnant women who need to go out for treatment in the control area, she should contact her archived midwifery agency in advance, and the community should assist in calling the ambulance and transfer the pregnant woman to her archived midwifery agency in a closed loop.
7. Psychological rescue work groups and medical assistance teams for epidemic prevention and control in all districts provide psychological assistance hotlines, online psychological assessments and psychological assistance services for people in need.
Li Ang said that in the next step, we will do a good job in the implementation of various measures, and strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation according to the implementation of each district and medical institution, as well as problems from 12345, the media and other channels.
