Shanxi teams join in fight to beat virus


Dong is a suspected coronavirus case quarantined in a hospital in the Hubei city of Qianjiang, which is looked after by another medical team from Shanxi. Dong said she feels better and more confident with the care of the Shanxi medical workers.
"When the epidemic is over, I will treat you to the most delicious crawfish in Qianjiang," Dong said to her medical care givers.
Qianjiang is famous around China for its freshwater crawfish.
The medical team in Qianjiang was among the first from Shanxi. The hospital where they are working is a new hospital that was scheduled to open in May.
The hospital became operational immediately in response to the emergency, after the team took three days to train local medical workers and test equipment.
"It is a miracle for our hospital considering the efficiency," said Song Shugui, the top nurse at the hospital.
"The standardized protective measures they carried out benefited not only the patients but the medical workers as well," Song said.
Standardized management is crucial to infectious disease control and treatment, according to Xue Wenlong, a doctor specializing in protective management for infectious diseases.
