Health authorities have come up with measures to ensure that mild patients are treated in life centers such as training centers and hotels, and only severe patients are treated in negative pressure rooms.

An important criterion for sharing treatment in a negative pressure room with a living treatment center was the presence of underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and chronic diseases such as cancer.
