From December 25, 2019 to January 31, 2020, 33 cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were identified in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, China, yet none of the affiliated HCWs was infected. Here we analyzed the infection control measures used in three different departments in the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and correlated the measures with the corresponding infection data of HCWs affiliated with these departments. We found that three infection control measures, namely the isolation of the presumed positive patients, the use of facemasks and intensified hand hygiene play important roles in preventing nosocomial transmission of COVID-19.
从 2019 年 12 月 25 日至 2020 年 1 月 31 日,中国武汉大学中南医院呼吸与危重症医学科共发现 33 例 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)病例,但该院附属医务人员均未感染。在这里,我们分析了武汉大学中南医院三个不同科室使用的感染控制措施,并将这些措施与这些科室附属的医务人员的相应感染数据进行了关联。我们发现,隔离疑似阳性患者、使用口罩和加强手卫生这三种感染控制措施在预防 COVID-19 医院内传播方面发挥了重要作用。
