Although Shanghai has taken emergency measures to increase the capacity of emergency transportation, the number of ambulances on duty has increased by nearly 50%, and the workload is 3.5% of the original. However, it still cannot fully meet the needs of all patients, and there are also problems such as insufficient experience of individual staff and insufficient emergency response capabilities. “We will draw inferences from one case to another, strengthen training, and further improve emergency treatment capabilities. All medical staff in our entire medical and health system will continue to do their best to ensure the health and safety of the people.”

The family doctor team of the local community health service center has done a good job in connecting with the service resources of the higher-level hospitals, taking the initiative to care, strengthening health guidance, and providing services such as basic drugs and chronic disease prescriptions according to the norms. At the same time, residents are encouraged to use the “Internet Hospital” platform to provide services for treating chronic diseases and dispensing medicines.

It is necessary to strengthen the optimization strategy and refinement measures according to the time and situation, fully tap the potential, step up the layout, and continue to strengthen the nucleic acid detection capability and emergency support capability.
The screening of the first batch of regions should be completed in one go, on time and with quality, and follow-up work should be carried out in a timely manner through the study and judgment of the results. The second batch of regions should be seamlessly connected and carried out in an orderly manner. It is necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of each link and implement the work in place, and every citizen can strictly follow the relevant requirements, cooperate with the prevention and control work in place, and work together to curb the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible.
