A cold current hit Hong Kong. According to the Observatory, at around 3 am today (21st), the temperature in many places in Hong Kong was below 8 degrees Celsius. Due to the fact that some patients in the hospital who are suspected of suffering from new coronary pneumonia are currently arranged by the hospital to wait in an open-air temporary tent, although the tent is equipped with a heater, it is believed that in the relatively cold weather, it is difficult to sleep through the night.
The reporter visited Caritas Hospital in Cheung Sha Wan and Princess Margaret Hospital in Kwai Chung at about 3 am. In the tents of Caritas Hospital, there are no patients waiting for consultation. In the 2 tents outside the emergency room of Princess Margaret Hospital, about 10 patients can be seen waiting for consultation. Compared with the previous day, the number of patients is significantly reduced. Several waiting patients have blankets on their beds to keep warm. Hold a child while waiting for a doctor; I believe that some patients have recently reported in the media that they have seen the “overcrowded” situation of waiting outside the hospital, and have chosen other ways to “self-help” according to the advice of experts, thus reducing the number of waiting patients.
