The equipment at Wuhan's Vulcan Mountain Hospital is still lined up in place, and may be needed again in the future, as the situation with the epidemic is still quite serious.
We know that the construction of the Wuhan Vulcan Mountain Hospital was completed and put into use in just eight days because of the epidemic. Wuhan Vulcan Mountain Hospital has a total construction area of 60,000 square meters, of which 34,000 square meters of new isolation area, 419 wards, beds 1,000 beds, opening intensive care wards, intensive care wards, general wards, set up infection control, testing, special diagnostic, diagnostic radiology and other auxiliary departments.
Every two wards are combined into one suite. Entering from the inner corridor, there is a working room for medical staff, and then two wards on either side, each with two beds. Each ward has a small, separate window and a glass window. There is also a window facing the corridor outside. The wards are fully air-conditioned, with window facilities and sterilization equipment in place. Each ward has a bathroom, and each bathroom is equipped with a water heater. The rooms are fully equipped with medical equipment, including oxygen tubes, negative pressure tubes and supporting equipment.
It is worth mentioning that Vulcan Mountain Hospital has also installed 5G base stations and 4G base stations to realize the full coverage of 4G and 5G signals of the hospital's wireless network, which not only meets the normal use of the hospital, but also ensures the Internet access needs of patients.
In fact, to this day, although the Vulcan Mountain Hospital has become a thing of the past, but the hospital is still very well maintained, all kinds of facilities have not been withdrawn from it. According to the report, when the personnel of Vulcan Mountain Hospital withdrew from it, they sealed all kinds of facilities, such as oxygen-absorbing tools, which were basically neatly placed on the table, as if they were in the army, ready to go. The state of Vulcan Mountain Hospital is in such a state of readiness that once the epidemic breaks out again, Vulcan Mountain Hospital can be put back into service quickly.
So, will Vulcan Mountain Hospital be operational again? In fact, it's quite possible, because there's still a chance of another outbreak in Wuhan.
In fact, before that, there were outbreaks in Dalian and Beijing. As of August 13, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Dalian has reached 92, and the current number of confirmed cases is 33, so obviously the outbreak in Dalian has been effectively controlled. As for the outbreak in Beijing, from the current situation, it is still under relatively good control. From the beginning of the outbreak, Beijing has taken strict control measures, and now there have been no new cases in Beijing for seven consecutive days, and the number of confirmed cases is only four, so it is obvious that the outbreak is under very good control. Some time ago, there was an outbreak in Xinjiang, which was mainly due to the presence of the new coronavirus in seafood from outside the country, which caused large-scale infections. However, in recent days, the outbreak in Xinjiang has also been very well controlled, with only eight new patients on August 13 and four hundred and sixty-four confirmed diagnoses.
So, judging from the outbreaks in Dalian, Beijing, and Xinjiang, it is still possible that Vulcan may restart in Wuhan as the outbreaks around the world are still very serious, and there is still the possibility of a small-scale outbreak in Wuhan.
