Why build makeshift hospitals?

The continuous construction of makeshift hospitals in many places in China is first to effectively control the spread of the new coronavirus, and secondly to effectively improve the work efficiency of medical staff and rationally allocate medical resources to avoid waste.

The original purpose of building makeshift hospitals in many places is to control the rapid spread of the new coronavirus and achieve the goal of social zero under our current epidemic prevention measures. The so-called social zero is to clear the control area and The number of closed and controlled areas has been reduced to minimize the occurrence of large-scale transmission. At present, most domestic epidemics are caused by the Omicron virus strain. The incubation period of this mutated strain is obviously longer. Due to the increased adaptability to the human body during the mutation, As a result, the symptoms after infection are not obvious, and the increase in vaccination rate in my country has led to a sharp increase in the number of mild patients and asymptomatic patients during the outbreak in my country. These patients have become the source of further spread of the epidemic because they cannot be screened in time. Therefore, it is very necessary to isolate asymptomatic and mild patients. Therefore, isolating these patients in mobile cabin hospitals to cut off the chain of transmission is the most effective way.

The establishment of makeshift hospitals is also to rationally allocate medical resources. If asymptomatic and mild patients are admitted to designated hospitals for treatment according to previous isolation measures, a large amount of medical resources will be consumed and the medical system will be affected. The space of the mobile cabin hospital is open, and ordinary patients can take care of themselves or help each other for treatment. The medical resources consumed are very few, so more resources can be saved to invest in front-line screening work.

The establishment of makeshift hospitals is also to restore residents' normal lives as soon as possible. If designated hospitals and hotels are used for isolation, it will undoubtedly increase the financial burden on residents, and will also affect the recovery of the industrial economy. In the past, isolation venues will be borrowed Gyms can also cause risks such as cross-infection. Therefore, it is very necessary to take a long-term perspective in building makeshift hospitals, which will play an important role in restoring economic development and restoring residents' normal lives.
