In a move to better cope with the pandemic, the hospital established 16 clinics for COVID-19 patients at its two compounds located on the Asian side of the city.

"We categorized 10 of these clinics, according to additional diseases of patients from the virus, such as COVID-19 neurology, COVID-19 gynecology or COVID-19 orthopedics," Yiyit told Xinhua. "Every clinic also has a chest disease specialist and internal medicine specialist."

The ultimate protection of health care workers is the red line of the hospital. The number of infected personnel is 1.2 percent, according to Yiyit.

The sterilization rules are tighter in the intensive care unit, which has 75 isolated rooms with negative pressure.

"This intensive care setup is very important for the protection of health personnel," Yiyit continued, noting that the medical personnel use their regular intensive care clothing on the common area, but wear extra protective suits before entering negative pressure rooms.

"They change their suits from top to the bottom each time they go in and out," Yiyit continued.

Altun Yarligan, a COVID-19 pregnant patient, has been staying in one of the negative pressure rooms at the intensive care for almost 12 days, but on Monday she received the good news.

The doctor said she would be moved to a regular room soon as her condition is getting better each day.

"As soon as I reach my phone, I will call my son," she told her doctor. "I haven't heard his voice for almost two weeks," Yaligan added emotionally.
