description Suspected and confirmed cases should be treated in a designated hospital with effective isolation and protective conditions. The isolation condition of suspected cases should be the highest, and treatment should be carried out in a single room instead of mixed accommodation. Only confirmed cases should be admitted to the same ward, and critically ill patients should be admitted to ICU as soon as possible. At this stage, asymptomatic infected persons should also be isolated for observation. If a severe epidemic occurs in the area and medical resources are limited, mild cases and asymptomatic infected persons can be treated and observed at home, but registration and management should be carried out by the local disease prevention and control institutions and community health service centers, so as to guide, observe, and treat the quarantine at home. Moreover, the referral and transfer of severe patients should be safe, evaluated well, and no problems should be caused on the way.
