介绍： In southern China's Guangzhou with a population of over 20 million people, hospitals have established a two-tier triage in the emergency ward to cut off further spread of possible infection.

Chen Yue'e, head nurse of the emergency ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, told CGTN they send people with body temperatures of over 38 degrees Celsius to the fever clinic. As to those between 37.3 and 38 degrees Celsius, they inquire about whether they've been to virus affected areas or not, and whether they've contacted people who've been to Wuhan.

And at the entrance of the lobby, the hospital set up an infrared camera that can detect high temperatures in patients.

The novel coronavirus mainly spreads through airborne droplets from an infected person or direct contact with such a person.

And in the hospital's special fever clinic which was set up right after the virus outbreak, the doctor's desk can create an air barrier between the patients and the doctors, with a particular negative pressure function.

When the outbreak began, doctors had to deal with a long waiting period to confirm suspected cases of infection.
