the whole Expo place is probably able to accommodate 2000 beds, we first use Hall 1 is 500 beds, if 500 beds are not enough, we can also use Hall 2, Hall 2 now there is a bit of technical problems, air-conditioning we are in the solution, this place can probably accommodate another 400 beds, a total of about 900 beds.
there are several other pavilions that are now part of the health department and can make room for other places for us to use when they need them.
what are the characteristics of the confirmed cases in Hong Kong? What are the challenges? The difficulty of treatment of elderly patients is the current difficulty of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Chairman Fan Hongling: the third wave of this outbreak and the first two waves of the biggest difference, is that the patient is a large proportion of the elderly, this is we say, because many elderly people are to 80, 90 years old.
this outbreak has the elderly community center "in the recruitment" of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Chairman Fan Hongling: Because this outbreak has several elderly community centers have been recruited, so this treatment of the elderly is more difficult, and the hospital days are relatively high, which is our biggest concern now.
there are about 1200 patients in the hospital, and we have about 1,200 negative pressure beds in the hospital.
in addition, there are about 500 hospital called second-line beds, the second line means that the patient's condition is better, we can transfer him to the second line, the first line to free up new patients.
If necessary, we will also renovate more venues to add beds to the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Chairman Fan Hongling: In addition, we opened a community isolation centre last week at carp gate, which has about 350 beds, plus 500 beds at the community treatment centre opened tomorrow, so we are now from the original 1700 beds.
1200 first line plus 500 second line, increase 850, that is, more than half, and then we are ready to need, Abo Hall can add extra beds, with this approach hope to be able to put this situation over.
