To guide the smooth transfer of overseas personnel

From March 21st, Taiyuan became one of the first designated entry points for international passenger flights destined for Beijing. At noon on March 23, after the above service center received an order from a superior department, Zhang Xiangdong, director of the Dunhuafang Community Health Service Center, as the chief commander of medical observation, formed two teams, one of which prepared protection and disinfection materials for overseas personnel entering Jin Dynasty; another The team was led by Zhu Xiaoping, the deputy director of the service center, and put on protective equipment with four other medical personnel, boarded an ambulance, and rushed to Wusu International Airport.

After arriving at the airport, Zhu Xiaoping and one of the medical staff first entered the terminal to dock with Taiyuan customs staff. Zhu Xiaoping told reporters, "We need to know in advance the number of transshipment vehicles, license plate numbers, and the number of passengers per vehicle. Arrange according to the specific situation of the transfer vehicle. "

After completing the docking, Zhu Xiaoping and his team organized the overseas personnel responsible for transshipment into multiple teams, each with 5 people. Because there is a certain distance between the customs registration exit of the terminal and the transfer vehicle, Zhu Xiaoping adopts the mode of division of labor and cooperation. The medical personnel will organize the grouped overseas personnel to carry out baggage security inspection before guiding them to the transfer vehicle and escort the medical care Staff handover.

"We brought people to the transfer vehicle in groups, and the medical staff were on duty in the terminal building, and the transfer vehicle was on duty." As of 23:00 on March 23, 11 transfer vehicles had arrived at the isolation hotel. Zhu Xiaoping recalled that she took more than 20,000 steps that day.

On-demand service isolation personnel

For every overseas repatriation staff who arrives in a segregated hotel, medical staff will give them items such as body temperature measurement, registration information, "isolated medical observation notice", "health gift pack" and other items ... Understand their needs.

As a result of staying in isolation hotels for a long time, some isolation personnel experienced problems such as psychological anxiety. At 11:25 on April 5, Chen Hongbo, deputy director of the community health service center in Dunhuafang, received a call from Zhu Xiaoping, "A girl feels a little chest tight. Look at what happened."

Immediately, Chen Hongbo contacted the girl. It was learned through inquiry that the girl's body temperature and pulse were normal, with a little chest tightness. The initial judgment was related to the psychological anxiety of the longer isolation time. Chen Hongbo gave him patient psychological counseling, and asked him to do abdominal breathing, relax his mind, and turn his attention to breathing. After the girl did what he said, her chest tightness gradually improved and her emotions recovered.

Daily killing is also an important task in isolation hotels. Five medical staff including Zhu Xiaoping took the initiative to carry out the killing work. They carried a sprayer containing 20 kg of disinfectant, killing them twice a day, every morning and afternoon, from the first floor lobby, garbage storage, elevator room, high-frequency contact point To the area where the isolation person lives, 8 barrels of spray are needed every day.

In addition to the daily killings, they also had to monitor the body temperature of people who had entered the country in isolation here. Sleepy and tired, they sat on the mat, and sometimes, the two sat on a chair, leaning on each other to enter sleep.

Help with language barrier

In the segregated hotels, a small number of foreigners are foreigners. The lack of language makes it an obstacle for medical personnel to communicate with this group of people.

In the meantime, some expatriates broke several because they did not use mercury thermometers. "We will teach them how to use mercury thermometers, but after a long time, they still don't understand." Zhu Xiaoping said that in desperation, she had to move "rescue" and let the hotel manager act as a "translator". Soon, these foreigners not only learned to use mercury thermometers, but also learned how to read.

In order to facilitate communication with foreigners, medical staff downloaded a translation software on their mobile phones. "With the software, we understand their needs more clearly and communicate with each other a lot." Zhu Xiaoping said. (Finish)
