President Song's decision is basically equivalent to announcing that the four courts have entered the first-level emergency response mechanism. Of course, it is also a first-level response, and the hospital's own mechanism is not the same as that at the provincial or even municipal level. The four hospitals do not need to consider the impact of the epidemic on society, and there is no need to consider coordinating epidemic prevention actions with other units. The advantages of the ship's small and good U-turn are extremely obvious here - in Ningyuan City or even Song'an Province, to enter the first level of emergency response, it is necessary not only to have the consent of the higher authorities, but also to have sufficient evidence and enough "urgency".

Level 1 response is not a simple "we need to be more careful" slogan. It will completely change the focus of work in entire cities, even provinces, and even countries within a certain period of time. The first level of response to the public health emergency, through clear legal provisions, gives the government the power to close cities, roads, prevent crowds from gathering, requisition people, houses and supplies, ensure the supply of funds and declare epidemic areas.

According to the relevant regulations, the response mechanism is divided into four levels. It is classified as particularly significant (level 1), major (level 2), large (level 3), and general (level 4). The weight of these four words is equal to tens of billions or even greater economic losses, which means that the normal operation of society will be greatly affected, and is equal to ...... There are a lot of people who may be in danger.

It's never an easy decision.

The PAPF special combat team set aside a small detachment to be stationed at the entrance of the eighth and ninth floors of the inpatient department, and after obtaining permission from the higher authorities, they quickly became the backbone of maintaining order and effective isolation in medical treatment. Thanks to these resolute and armed special combat team members, in the three days that the four hospitals announced the quarantine, there was not a single incident of patients or their families storming the isolation area. And the old lady who ripped off Director Huang's mask was also severely criticized by her family through the door. The old lady's wife even let out a bold statement: "If you dare to play tricks again, Lao Tzu will divorce you!"

The atmosphere in the four courtyards is gradually tense. After getting the mNGS test report, Dean Song held a meeting of the department directors of the whole hospital again. This time, her expression was no longer the usual calmness, but showed a hint of obvious "nervousness".

"Before the meeting began, everyone handed over their phones. It was rare for Dean Song not to start the meeting directly, but first emphasized the order of the venue, "The content of this meeting is highly confidential, and no one is allowed to announce and disclose the content of the meeting to the outside world without permission...... I'm not kidding. She stressed to the group of department heads with different faces in the conference room, "If anyone feels that they can't keep it absolutely confidential, they can leave the room now." ”

Although there were still some doubts and confusions, everyone finally stayed—and at the same time, everyone gave their mobile phones to the assistant dean, who carried them to the dean's office on the side.

Seeing that everyone stayed, Dean Song turned on the projector in the conference room and said succinctly, "This is the test report of the college's mNGS. ”

More than a dozen pages of the report were quickly skipped, and Song Wen jumped directly to the last page of the report.

A gasp of cold air appeared neatly in the conference room. There were even a few slightly older directors who asked "what?" in shock.

In the test report, the test results are indicated in red font, "High Confidence Result, SARS"

"SARS?" the director of the infectious disease department stood up from his seat, "this...... How is this possible?"

The SARS virus has been eradicated for more than a decade, and in those years, there has never been a single sporadic case report. From the perspective of etiology, the SARS virus can be regarded as completely eradicated.

What is the result? The virus that has been completely eradicated has returned from the long river of time? Or has someone opened the dried civet meat that has been sealed in the dust for more than ten years?

The director of the infectious disease department did not believe in the resurgence of the SARS virus from the bottom of his heart. It's not scientific.

"The results of mNGS are not necessarily completely reliable – they are experiments that are performed through fragment detection comparisons. It cannot be used as conclusive evidence of the diagnosis, not to mention that the patient's disease progression does not meet the typical symptoms of SARS - at least the body temperature is not high enough. The director of the Department of Thoracic Surgery cautiously expressed his opinion.

"To officially confirm the test, we need to wait for the nucleic acid test results of the national laboratory to come out. Dean Song rubbed his temples with a headache, "But the patient's condition is really not good." We can't just wait for the results from our superiors, and the epidemic can't follow the baton of the national laboratory. She glanced at the many section heads in the office, took a deep breath, and stood up abruptly.

The other section directors also stood up together, and the chairs behind them made a neat "boom" sound.

"I order!" Dean Song waved his hand, "The whole hospital will screen out the fever patients, and after ruling out pneumonia of unknown cause, all other patients will be transported!"

"I order!" Dean Song continued, "After the whole hospital completes the transfer of patients, this hospital will be completely locked down, and all medical staff and patients will not be allowed to leave until the expert group of the Provincial Health Commission and the National Health Commission have permission to leave!"

"I order!" Dean Song shouted the third order in a deep voice, "All medical staff in this hospital have entered the highest state of protection, and all of them have adopted the highest level of protection - protective goggles, masks above N95 level, full-body protective clothing, gloves and shoe covers. The hospital office and logistics will make every effort to ensure that the supply of materials is sufficient!"

"Everyone. Dean Song looked around, looked at the group of doctors and experts under his command, and said word by word, "Epidemic prevention is war, and illness is an order! I don't care if you are afraid or not, and I don't care if you are worried or not." I have only one request - at all costs, control the epidemic, and then defeat the epidemic, is there a problem?!"

"Nope!"

"Blockade again?" Dr. Brunn's face twitched slightly, and he put down the map in his hand in frustration and rubbed his head, "Okay, it seems...... Everyone's vacation plans are reimbursed. ”

"You're a broom star. Dr. Pascal muttered as he packed up the clothes Elizabeth had brought to him, "Since you came to Ningyuan, this hospital has been locked down twice!"

"Less of this. Dr. Brunn snorted and pulled a mustache from under his neck, "Since you came, this hospital has been locked down twice!

The two old American men here are habitually bickering, while on the other side, Zhou Ce is coercing and luring Yuan Ping'an, asking him to invite him to dinner today, "Everyone doesn't have a holiday for the New Year, just to accompany you on duty! This affection is deep and meaningful, you can't invite us to a meal to thank you?"

Sun Lien's behavior is much calmer, he is buying all kinds of daily necessities on his mobile phone. From underwear and socks to T-shirts and pants, he bought about two dozen pieces - he was not like these colleagues who lived in Ningyuan, after the hospital was locked down, no one came to bring him clothes and pants.

Although the future of work and life may seem very difficult, as long as you are prepared, life can always go on.
