"When the epidemic broke out, Chinese health workers underwent mass infections due to a lack of information and a shortage of preventive measures and protective supplies. As all these problems were solved, the infection rate began to drop sharply," said Dr. Lu Xiaobo, a leading infectious diseases specialist with the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Intensive care department staff in Chinese hospitals now work for a maximum of 4 hours, while testing staff and laboratory assistants work for 6 hours to minimize infection, Lu Xiaobo added.
Yu Yanxia, head nurse of the People's Hospital of the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang, recommended that the hospitals treating COVID-19 patients should be divided into three zones -- pollution, semi-contaminated, and clean. Doctors should wear masks and glasses with a mandatory leak-proof test, use double layers in clothing and follow a strict procedure for removing and putting on suits, Yu said.
The Chinese experts have been working from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. over the past six days. They have conducted training and communicated with Kazakh experts, health workers and health authorities on diagnosis, treatment, testing and quarantine regime of COVID-19.
The Chinese medical team arrived in Nur-Sultan on April 9 and plans to also visit Karaganda and Almaty.
