A makeshift hospital(临时医院)has been set up by members of the California National Guard in California, in the US.

Feng Bangli, from Wuhan, Hubei, began to have a fever at the end of January and suspected that he had been infected(感染)with the virus. He tried several times to be allowed to enter a hospital but failed. He gave up and stayed at home, taking drugs prescribed (开药方)by doctors.

At that time, “too many patients were waiting to see doctors at every hospital, and it was not possible for me to get a bed,” said Feng. Days later, with the community staff’s help, Feng tested positive for COVID-19 and was sent to a makeshift hospital for treatment.

“Without such makeshift hospitals, many COVID-19 patients like me may never have found a bed,” said Feng, who recovered(恢复)and was discharged(获准离开) from the makeshift hospital in Wuchang district at the end of February after staying there for 12 days.

Like Feng, more than 12,000 COVID-19 patients in Wuhan received treatment and care at 15 makeshift hospitals, which were converted(改造)from exhibition halls and sports stadiums. These hospitals, which mainly received patients with mild symptoms(轻症), contained one in every four confirmed COVID-19 patients in the city, said Ma Xiaowei, minister of China’s National Health Commission.

“Building makeshift hospitals was a key decision made in the critical(关键的)moment when Wuhan was facing a formidable task of epidemic(疫情)control, and it has played an important role in both prevention and treatment of the disease,” he said.

Makeshift hospitals have greatly reduced pressure(压力)on designated (指定的)hospitals to receive and treat patients, which made it possible to treat and isolate(隔离)all people in need, said Xu Junmei, vice-president of Wuchang makeshift hospital. “They were the life vessels(生命之舟)during the peak of the epidemic.”
