8 When will hospitals reopen? 医院何时重新正常接诊?



English Transcript (中文全文在下方阅读)


AMANDA: The next few questions are about looking ahead into the future. Due to the COVID pandemic, many hospitals have cancelled routine or elective appointments. When will hospitals and clinics be open again for patients needing non-COVID related care?

DR. LIO: I can’t give you an exact date on that. The government doesn’t know either. I think in general, once our society starts to open up again, that will be one of the first things to open up. When the rates of new infections start going down consistently, when they’re low, when we have increased our capacity to test more people, and when we have increased our capacity to trace people who are infected to see who they’ve been in contact with, that would be a time when we could start loosening some of the restrictions on people staying at home. When that happens, the clinics will be some of the first to open up. That’s when elective surgeries will begin. But again, we don’t have an exact date on that and when that will happen and just recently we’ve extended our shut down here, our stay at home orders here in Chicago until the end of May.

阿曼达:接下来的几个问题是关于展望未来。由于新冠大流行,许多医院取消了常规或择期预约。对于需要非新冠相关护理的患者,医院和诊所什么时候会再次开放?

刘医生:我无法给你确切的日期,政府也不知道。我认为总的来说,一旦我们的社会开始重新开放,医疗服务会是首先被开放的服务之一。因此,当新增感染率开始持续下降,达到较低水平,当我们增强了检测能力,增加了追踪感染者和其接触范围的能力时,我们将可以开始放松社会疏离的要求。那个时候,诊所将是最先开放的社会服务。非急需施行的手术也会陆续开始。但是,我们也没有确切的日期。最近芝加哥已经将停工的时间延长,我们在芝加哥的禁足令已经延长到 5 月底。
