由于发烧病人激增，新冠感染康复后的医护人员们于今天（12/20）开始陆续返岗。记者张泓前往仁济医院查看情况。

“It’s quite soon for the antigen result to turn negative, usually three to five days. The CT value of PCR tests may fluctuate between 30 and 35, but infectiousness is very low at those levels. Spreading can be prevented by wearing an N95 mask. ”

“抗原转阴还是比较快的，一般三五天就能转阴，后续的核酸检测CT值可能会波动在30~35的CT值的范围内波动。其实传染性已经很小了，一只N95口罩完全可以阻断其传播。”

Dr. Ma said Renji Hospital’s fever clinic was handling about 1,000 patients a day. Doctors from other departments were helping out. But as more medical personnel also got infected, there was a lack of staff in each department and those who were not infected have been working continuously. Ma said his colleagues have been gearing up to cope with a surge in patients.

马医生称，仁济医院的发烧诊所每天要治疗处理大约1000名病人。其他部门的医生也在帮忙。但是，由于不少医务人员也被感染了，每个部门都面临人手不够的情况，导致那些没有被感染的医护人员一直在连续工作。马医生表示，他的同事们一直在为治疗病人的激增做准备的病人。

“I hope my colleagues do not all get infected at the same time and we can have recovered doctors return to the hospital quickly. We want to make sure everything is running in an orderly manner and enough doctors to treat patients.”

“希望医院的医护人员不要同时病倒，医生们愈后快速返岗，这样能保证一个有序的（环境），确保医院能够应对激增的病人。”

Li Min, who works in the hospital’s lab, returned to work after recovering from COVID at home for four days. More than 40% of the lab’s staff were staying at home after being infected. The hospital called on employees to return to work if possible.

李敏医生在仁济医院的检验科工作，她在家中进行了四天的新冠康复治疗后回到了工作岗位。该检验科超过40%的员工在被感染后居家治疗。医院呼吁员工在若身体情况转良好后，则陆续返岗。

“If a person feels okay and has at leastone negative antigen test result, we’’ll call on them to come back to work as soon as possible. ”

“如果你的身体各方面状况也很好，抗原至少有一次是阴性了，我们会让有条件上岗的员工，尽快上岗返岗，投入到我们一线的工作中。”

Doctor Li said that it takes two to three weeks to fully recover after one’s PCR test result is negative, and that it’s still possible to be infected again. She reminded recovered patients to protect themselves well and enhance their immunity as they return to work.

李医生称，一个人的核酸检测结果呈为阴性后，需要两到三周的时间才能完全恢复，而且仍然有可能再次被感染。她提醒已康复的患者在返回工作岗位后时要做好自我保护，增强免疫力。

“I think the inhalable COVID-19 vaccine isbetter than an injection since we get infected through our respiratory【呼吸的】 tract.”
