During major epidemic outbreaks, demand for healthcare workers (HCWs) grows even as the extreme pressures they face cause declining availability. We draw on Taiwan's severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) experience to argue that a modified form of traffic control bundling (TCB) protects HCW safety and by extension strengthens overall coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic control.
在重大疫情爆发期间，对医护人员（HCWs）的需求不断增长，而他们所面临的极端压力却导致人手不足。我们借鉴台湾严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）的经验，认为对交通管制捆绑（TCB）进行修改，能够保护医护人员的安全，并由此加强对 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情的整体控制。
