In Wuhan No.1 Hospital, medical staff with full protective equipment walk into the isolation wards in groups and take turns to work.
Each time before their entry, they need make preparations carefully for nearly half an hour. They must wear at least 8 pieces of protective equipment and pass through five doors, then stay inside the isolation area for 6 hours. The hospital has supervisors to help them wear equipment and check omissions. Medical workers there have raced against time and spared no efforts to fight against the epidemic.
