Chapter 539 Emergency Plan
Facing Liu Zhongming's confirmation, Chen Tianlin replied with a serious face: "Dean Liu! When I checked the child just now, I found maculopapular rash and herpes on the child's hands and feet, a rash on the buttocks or knees, and inflammation around the rash.
Sexual redness, but less fluid in the blister, this is an obvious sign of hand, mouth and foot disease, and the emergency plan must be immediately activated to isolate the emergency department to ensure that the epidemic does not spread further."
Liu Zhongming did not expect that a food poisoning incident had just occurred in the morning, and that there would be an epidemic of hand, mouth and foot at noon. As the director of the People's Hospital, he was very aware of the seriousness of this matter and replied solemnly: "Xiao Chen! You
Immediately notify the infectious disease department, immediately seal off the emergency department, disinfect every corner of the emergency department, and send people to check the remaining students to determine whether they are infected with the mouth, hand, and foot virus."
When Liu Zhongming said this, he immediately took out his mobile phone, pressed the number, and said: "I will call the city health department and Mayor Zhong now to report the epidemic to the city!"
Hearing the conversation between Chen Tianlin and Liu Zhongming, and seeing the serious expressions on their faces, the children's relatives became stunned. The middle-aged man who had previously arrogantly stated that he wanted to deal with Chen Tianlin looked dubious.
Asked: "That doctor! What is the hand, foot and mouth disease you just mentioned? Is that disease contagious?"
Facing the middle-aged man's inquiry, in order to get the families of these patients to cooperate with them, Chen Tianlin nodded firmly and replied: "Hand, mouth and foot disease is very contagious, the transmission route is very complex, the epidemic intensity is high, and it spreads quickly. In a short period of time,
It can cause a pandemic within a short period of time. The most vulnerable people to be infected are newborns and young children. It may also cause multiple people in a family, or all children and adults may be infected. The most important thing is that so far, there is no special vaccine.
, and there are no supplies of antiviral drugs.”
"I have touched my nephew's body before. I won't be infected with this disease, right?" After hearing the situation introduced by Chen Tianlin, the middle-aged man thought that when he saw the body of his nephew before, he had touched the body, so he
Suddenly feeling flustered, he quickly asked Chen Tianlin who was about to make a call.
Chen Tianlin, who was holding a mobile phone in his hand, heard the middle-aged man's answer and replied with a serious face: "The main infection targets of oral, hand and foot disease are infants and young children, and adults are also susceptible to infection. Please stay here for now."
Here, you can only leave our hospital after the epidemic is over."
"I don't want to stay in this hellish place, I want to go home!" Upon hearing Chen Tianlin's words, a middle-aged woman shouted in panic because she was afraid of contracting the virus.
Chen Tianlin saw that most of the people present were preparing to leave. He knew that the people in the emergency department could not stop these people from leaving. He looked at the people in front of him and said with a serious face: "If
If you want to harm your loved ones, then you can leave."
Although these people present were very afraid of being infected, when they heard Chen Tianlin's words and thought of their relatives at home, they finally gave up the idea of leaving and chose to stay in the emergency department.
"Xiao Chen! Mayor Zhong asked you to answer the phone!" When Chen Tianlin successfully persuaded everyone, Liu Zhongming walked up to Chen Tianlin with his mobile phone and said solemnly.
"Dean Liu! You quickly notify the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and immediately send someone to the isolation emergency department to check all the children and determine the number of infected people." After hearing Liu Zhongming's words, Chen Tianlin took the big brother from Liu Zhongming, and did not forget to tell him
After a few words of warning, Liu Zhongming said politely: "Mayor Zhong! Hello!"
"Professor Chen! I heard Liu Zhongming say that among the students sent to the hospital for treatment in the morning due to food poisoning, one student was found to have died from hand, mouth and foot disease. According to Liu Zhongming, this disease is not contagious. Is this true?
?" As soon as Chen Tianlin finished speaking, Zhong Huiming's very serious inquiry came over the phone.
When Chen Tianlin heard Zhong Huiming's inquiry, he immediately replied: "Mayor Zhong! This is absolutely true. Hand, mouth, and foot disease is an exanthematous infectious disease, mainly caused by the Coxsackie virus. The virus parasitizes in affected children.
It can be transmitted to other children not only through saliva, sneezing, coughing, and droplets when talking, but also indirectly through hands, daily necessities, and tableware."
“Although there were only over a hundred students from the affiliated primary school sent to the hospital for treatment due to food poisoning in the morning, I am worried that other students in the school may have been infected with the disease, and the city must take countermeasures to prevent the further spread of the virus.
"
Zhong Huiming didn't know much about the specific situation of foot and mouth disease. It wasn't until he heard Chen Tianlin's introduction that he realized how terrible this infectious disease is. Thinking of the hundreds of students in the affiliated primary school, Zhong Huiming replied solemnly:
"Professor Chen! I will immediately activate emergency measures and take isolation measures for the affiliated primary school."
"Mayor Zhong! The entire course of this infectious disease lasts about a week. Children who are infected will develop small herpes similar to chickenpox on the skin of their hands, feet or oral mucosa. Most children develop the disease suddenly, with the first symptoms being:
High fever, with body temperature usually above 38 degrees, accompanied by symptoms such as headache, cough, runny nose, etc. The body temperature does not go down. The higher the body temperature, the longer the course of the disease and the more serious the condition." Chen Tianlin heard Zhong Huiming's words,
Not forgetting to introduce the situation after the onset of hand, mouth and foot disease to Zhong Huiming.
Soon the Jiangcheng City Government immediately launched an emergency plan and took isolation measures for the Emergency Department of Jiangcheng People's Hospital, Jiangcheng Affiliated Primary School, and the Emergency Department of Jiangcheng Second Hospital. Just as the Jiangcheng City Government initiated emergency measures, two more people were found in the Jiangcheng Emergency Department.
A child was infected with oral, hand and foot virus and was sent to the isolation ward for treatment.
When the Jiangcheng City Government launched an emergency epidemic prevention plan and implemented isolation measures for the Emergency Department of Jiangcheng People's Hospital, Jiangcheng Affiliated Primary School, and the Emergency Department of Jiangcheng Second Hospital, various rumors spread in Jiangcheng City, causing panic throughout Jiangcheng.
In order to prevent Jiangcheng citizens from panic, the Jiangcheng City Government immediately held a press conference to inform Jiangcheng citizens about the hand and foot epidemic. At the same time, it also used the press conference to inform citizens about methods to prevent the hand and foot epidemic, and finally successfully broke the rumors.
Jiangcheng Affiliated Primary School discovered that thirteen students were infected with hand, mouth and foot virus. These thirteen students were quickly sent to the isolation ward of Jiangcheng People's Hospital for treatment. Due to the timely activation of Jiangcheng's emergency epidemic prevention plan, this incident caused Jiangcheng City to
