It allows for quick isolation of patients and can keep people from getting anxious over beds.
According to the latest reports, square pods have been built and completed in Russia. According to the design, the square pod hospital has 500 beds, half of which are for patients with serious infections. The hospital area has a reception area for outside personnel, diagnostic rooms, laboratories, treatment rooms, emergency rooms, operating rooms and wards. If necessary, a maternity ward will be set up and when completed, the hospital will be used to treat infected people in the community. The construction of the hospital is based on China's experience and it has a lot of advanced equipment. According to information released by the Russian Epidemic Defense Command on the afternoon of the 13th of local time, Russia has added 11 new cases of coronary pneumonia in the past 24 hours. These patients are Russian citizens who came to Italy, France and Austria in the last two weeks. So far, 45 new cases of neonatal pneumonia have been confirmed in Russia, 42 of which are Russian citizens, eight of which have been discharged from the hospital.
Starting in March, rescue medical teams dispatched by the Square Cabin Hospital have been gradually withdrawn. From Feb. 5 to March 10, when all square pods were closed, 16 hospitals in Wuhan treated more than 12,000 new cases of coronary heart disease. The square hatch hospitals played a large role in isolating the country from the epidemic. So great was the function of the square pods that after the hospitals were completely closed, it was said that if the square pod hospitals had been opened earlier wouldn't there have been a lot fewer infected people. One very important difference between the medically crowded groups at the start of the outbreak and the relatively organized response was the opening of the square pod hospitals.
From the point of view of the president of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the dean of the Peking Union Medical College, such hospitals can provide high-capacity treatment quickly, and they can be built in a short period of time and at low cost. In the future, a national emergency system will be designed that will be a reference even in the world emergency system. He mentioned that the square-cabin hospitals could be transformed into a national emergency program. Due to the temporary and space-specific nature of such hospitals, it is difficult to transplant equipment (especially large specialized equipment) in general hospitals on short notice. The value of portable, fast and easy-to-use medical equipment has begun to emerge. Some of the mobile high-end medical equipment that is desperately needed to fight epidemics has already been tested in square pod hospitals, and is even expanding into more usage scenarios.
