Rapidly organize redeployed medical staff in coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: what we should do

摘要

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a global health crisis.[1,2] Healthcare workers play key roles during the pandemic, but a serious shortage of personnel may occur at peak times. In order to control the rapid spreading of an outbreak, adequate staffing is needed to manage infected patients and to prevent infections of surrounding patients, staff members, as well as the local community.[3] Although there are multiple modes for the organization and deployment of medical staff to deal with the rapidly increasing population of COVID-19 patients, successful experiences from Wuhan, China may prove helpful as a model for effectively dealing with this urgent situation.[4]
