This article shares the ground operational perspective of how a tertiary hospital radiology department in Singapore is responding to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic. This same department was also deeply impacted by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003. Though similar to SARS, the COVID-19 outbreak has several differences. We share how lessons from 2003 are applied and modified in our ongoing operational response to this evolving novel pathogen.
本文分享了新加坡一家三级医院放射科应对冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫情的现场运作观点。该部门也深受 2003 年严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)爆发的影响。虽然与 SARS 相似,但 COVID-19 爆发有几个不同之处。我们分享了如何将 2003 年的经验教训应用于并修改我们对这种不断演变的新型病原体的持续运作反应。
