The number of confirmed pneumonia infections in Wuhan with a new coronavirus has soared in the Mainland. Among them, 15 medical staff in Wuhan have confirmed the infection. Professor Xu Shuchang, Chair Professor of Respiratory Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, said that it is not surprising that medical staff are infected because of the narrow space in the hospital, high-risk treatment for medical staff, or insufficient protective equipment to be infected.
Xu Shuchang took SARS as an example. Among 1755 SARS cases, 386 were medical staff, and 138 medical staff in Wales hospital were infected because they took care of one patient, and MERS Korea ’s Samsung Hospital also had 86. It was not surprising that 14 medical staff were infected while taking care of one patient. "This often happens in infectious diseases."https://hd.stheadline.com/news/realt...84%9F%E6%9F%93
