The COVID-19 outbreak was declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization on January 30, 2020. Since then, the virus has spread to affect more countries worldwide. During this period, our nuclear medicine department at Singapore General Hospital segregated our staff and patients by time, by space, or both, to minimize contact and prevent spread of the virus. Necessary changes to our clinical practices and stricter infection control measures were also enforced. We share our personal experience in managing a nuclear medicine department during this epidemic.
2020年1月30日，世界卫生组织宣布新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情构成“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”。自那时起，该病毒已蔓延至全球更多国家。在此期间，我们新加坡总医院核医学科通过时间、空间或两者相结合的方式对工作人员和患者进行隔离，以尽量减少接触并防止病毒传播。我们还实施了临床实践的必要变更和更严格的感染控制措施。我们分享在此疫情期间管理核医学科的个人经验。
