Abstract: Foreseeing the admission pressur e of CO VID-19 patients, the NTWC management proactively converted some general medical wards to isolation facilities to hospitalize suspected and confirmed CO VID-19 patients. The formation of designated clinical CO VID-19 teams including anaesthesia and physiotherapy allowed staff to acquire clinical experience in handling CO VID-19 patients.
