As Beijing eases its COVID-19 emergency response to level three, life is gradually returning to normal. However, in places like hospitals and train stations, precautions remain essential. At the Pinggu Hospital of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, medical staff continue to serve as the first line of defense against the virus.
Wei Aimei, a pre-screening triage staff member, stands at the forefront of this effort. \”The government is allowing people to restart their businesses,\” she says, \”but for the safety of all patients and medical personnel, we must stick to our posts.\” Wei and her colleagues diligently teach patients how to wear masks correctly and focus on overseas visitors by checking recent travel histories.
Maintaining social distancing is another critical aspect of their work. Staff guide patients to keep a one-meter distance in front of charging windows, pharmacy counters, registration offices, and reception desks. \”It’s important that we help everyone feel safe and comfortable while they receive care,\” Wei emphasizes.
Disinfection procedures are also a top priority. Every afternoon, all public areas, including waiting rooms and consulting rooms, undergo thorough cleaning. These measures ensure that the hospital remains a safe environment for both patients and staff in the post-COVID-19 era.
