Medical personnel in close contact with SARS-CoV-2 infected pneumonia patients should be relatively isolated, avoiding walking around and extensive contact with others.
Medical personnel should be isolated immediately and receive relevant examinations upon onset of fever, cough, shortness of breath and other symptoms.
When work in the SARS-CoV-2 infection ward is finished, nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 and a complete blood count should be carried out. Those who have abnormal test results should undergo strict isolation and observation; while others will be generally isolated for observation and resume work after one week.
