This study shared experiences in implementing infection prevention and control strategies in an observation area to minimize nosocomial infections of COVID?19 in a 3A?level general hospital in China, including area division, human resources and teamwork, instructions for infection control, and the establishment of workflow management groups in the operation center. These experiences will be helpful to countries, especially developing countries, who are fighting against COVID?19 now and other infectious diseases in the future to control nosocomial infections.

In recent years, due to frequent occurrence of public health emergencies, outbreaks of major infectious diseases represented by COVID-19 have brought great harm to the lives and health of people. General hospitals are indispensable in disease prevention and control. The study analyzed a comprehensive evaluation method of epidemic prewarning and treatment for COVID?19 in general hospitals through literature review and provided a reference for constructing urban public health prewarning and treatment system.

Since the rapid spread of COVID?19, our hospital has actively implemented the idea of “preventing the coronavirus from entering.” We paid close attention to details, rapidly carried out personnel and material management at all levels, and strived to do a good job in the prevention and control of the epidemic, so as to achieve zero infection. Patients’ carers are an important part of quality care. Lacking of protection knowledge of infectious diseases would increase the risk of nosocomial infection. Therefore, our nursing department set up a team of epidemic prevention and control management. The team made the revision on contingency plans and care management regulations during the outbreak of COVID?19, strengthened epidemic prevention and control knowledge training, carried out the supervision inspection work, and paid attention to humanized management measures to provide an important guarantee for victory over the COVID?19.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan began to spread rapidly in December 2019. It is highly infectious and widely spread.
