Chapter 213 Quarantine
Although Saigon City is known as the second largest city except Hanoi in the five Southeast Asian provinces, the city is actually not large in size and its population is only about 500,000. This is because of the increase in immigrants from the Qing Dynasty and other parts of Southeast Asia in the past few months after the war quelled. But even so, it is very difficult for Wang Yi to monitor the entire city with his current technical means.
Wang and his people came to the periphery of Sai Kung city. Since yesterday, the police and insurance team have begun to clean up the victims who have poured into the city. The methods are as gentle as possible and the publicity efforts have been increased, with the purpose of bringing them to the designated refugee area. [..com]
The benefits of doing this are obvious. First, it is convenient for centralized management and can save a lot of manpower and material resources. Second, it can ensure the safety of the city and eliminate hidden dangers. Third, it is possible to establish an isolation area. In fact, Wang Yi has no fantasy about this. The climate conditions in South Vietnam, coupled with the most precious period of disaster relief time, are wasted, and everything is developing in the direction that Wang Yi does not want. It is estimated that in less than a few days, various cases will appear one after another. As for how many people can be saved in the end, Wang Yi has no optimistic idea.
Although there are many benefits and try to be gentle and restrained as much as possible, even so, some conflicts occurred in Saigon city, and some were very fierce. Especially when dealing with some corpses on the road, the families of the deceased firmly refused to burn the corpses. Some streets were already stinking, and the smell of corpses mixed with the smell of feces, and the rainfall from time to time, these gathered together and were like large bacterial petri dishes.
"In order to keep healthy, please refer to boiling water and do not drink raw water. Pay attention to maintaining the hygiene of the surrounding living environment. If someone at home experiences symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, etc., please contact the nearby medical team immediately..."
The loudspeakers on the street are constantly promoting the government's policies in Vietnamese and Chinese, but everything is like making up for the loss.
When Wang Yi passed by some streets, he also saw some roads falling, but it was not his turn to clean up these things, and Chu Yuan would not let him do this. After Wang Yi for so long, Chu Yuan also had some understanding of infectious diseases. So no matter what, he would not let Wang Yi approach those potential sources of infection. If Wang Yi had not insisted, he would not even want Wang Yi to come out and walk around. It would be better to receive Shen Yazhi as soon as possible and then return to the Northeast. Whether it is South Vietnam or Cambodia, it is now an extremely dangerous area.
In more than a day, the refugee camp was finally established. There were many rows of tents, but they still could not meet the needs of all refugees. Many families were crowded together, with helplessness in their eyes.
Seeing Wang Yi, Gu Quan walked over and said, "Sir, why are you here?"
"Is this the block you are responsible for?"
Gu Quan shook his head and said, "No. The students just came here to patrol. Once the situation in Saigon stabilizes, I will go to other counties and cities in the province."
Wang nodded. After all, Gu Quan is the head of a province. Although Saigon is the provincial capital, it is not Gu Quan's turn to intervene directly.
“How is the situation here?”
"There are some shortages of tents, and some refugees who came late can only live in temporary shacks. Fortunately, the weather is not cold and the rain has begun to slow down. The only thing that is to be pleased now is that the food we stocked up has stabilized people's hearts well. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the people's mood will soon calm down."
Looking at Gu Quan's optimistic statement, Wang Yi did not have such good expectations.
"Is there an epidemic?"
Gu Quan's expression stagnated, and he finally stopped being so optimistic, saying, "Yes, we have built an isolation area a few miles away. There are insurance teams on the outside to guard the outside and doctors on the inside. Now more than 300 people have been moved in, and many of them are not in good condition."
"So many?" Although Wang Yi made the worst plan, he never thought of corruption. Three hundred people didn't hear much, but it was just a day and night. "Take it over!"
The living conditions in the refugee areas are not very good now, but with the supply of food, the resentment and hostility of refugees will also be reduced. Even if someone is provoking it, surveillance is placed first under the system of the refugee areas. When there is any disturbance, it can be stopped in time. The people of South Vietnam who had just experienced war in the first half of the year were exhausted and when they saw that their lives were guaranteed, they should not be very conflicted with the government that gave them food and wages. The rescue work of the Northeast Autonomous Region government is not effective, but it is much more timely than the previous Nguyen Dynasty.
However, it is hard to say about the situation in the isolation area. Corpse is always the root of everything and has a strong sensory stimulation to the people. Once it is provoked, it will empathize.
While walking to the quarantine area, Wang Yi asked: "Is anyone dead in the quarantine area now?"
Gu Quan really couldn't answer. The data in his hands were summarized by various places, and the single data had to be found specifically. Fortunately, the person in charge of the quarantine area was around him at this time. The person was named Wang Qing, from Dashang Medical College, and currently works at the First Hospital of Hanoi, Beiyue. This time he came here, he also voluntarily registered.
There is no real isolation suit in this era. Even if it is available, it is still in the Northeast, and South Vietnam does not have such conditions. Therefore, for doctors and nurses, joining the medical team requires great risks. Whether many infectious diseases can be cured well in this era is somewhat of a matter of leaving fate.
"Five people died. Although they could not do bacterial culture, the symptoms should be cholera." Wang Qing worked in North Vietnam for a while, so he has great experience in this area.
"Cholera... The treatment method is simple. As long as the body's water loss due to vomiting and diarrhea can be replenished in time, relieve shock and acid-base balance disorder in the body, and prevent renal failure, the patient's mortality rate should be controlled within a certain range."
Wang Qing nodded, and then sighed: "Sir, the biggest problem now is that we don't know how long the medicine in our hands can last."
"Where is the place where the drug is stored? How many days can it last?"
"The medicines we brought are now stored at the docks, and some of them have been transported to medical sites in the city. Although the medicines are sufficient at present, I am worried that the number of people suffering from illness will increase explosively in the next few days. It is hard to say how long it will last. Once the medicine is cut off, it will be difficult to predict, and the situation will probably be out of control."
The isolation area had already appeared in front of Wang Yi at this time. It was originally a newly built primary school, but it now looked more like a military base.
