Evaluating Hospital Zone Protocols During COVID-19

During the first wave of the pandemic, especially in London or West London, do you feel that the segregation of patients into green and red or amber, these things worked? Or do you think that healthcare staff were at high risk of contracting coronavirus because of the lack of screening? Yeah, it's a very good question and very relevant. So I think it helped in patient flow and managing beds, but these patients were eventually, many of them became COVID positive during stay. I think so the, by not providing us a PPE in time, it exposed us to infection without undue reason. I wasn't doing any intervention or any high-risk procedures, but it was a lack of PPE that actually led me to have an infection. So I guess there shouldn't be zones. Every zone is a red zone. Because in that period of time, you couldn't reasonably identify people who were green and not a risk to you. So they may be good, they may be negative, but once they have an interaction with healthcare staff who are carriers or with other patients, and then they acquire infections. So it's That's a dead mRNA, isn't it? So you don't know who is carrying this in there unless you swab them and check them properly.
