China's mobile lab testing team treats first patients under Ebola observation




An ambulance sent the first five patients under Ebola observation to China's mobile lab testing team at the China-Sierra Leone Friendship Hospital at 2:15pm, Oct 1, 2014. Another two patients were sent afterwards. The medical team's relevant personnel immediately put on personal protective equipment and began recording their medical history, diagnosis and treatment of the patients one by one. Each patient was put in a separate room and given oral medications based on the doctor's advice. The medical workers worked from 2:50pm to 3:50pm and sweated profusely because of the thick protective clothes they wore. Diagnosis medical personnel and monitoring personnel didn't take a break and went on to discuss the whole work procedure to adjust and optimize testing and observation plans.
