Armed guards patrol all the corridors and there are walk-in disinfection machines that look like airport scanners.
This was a whole different level to anything we have seen before.
We sensed a sudden change. A nurse rushed past us desperately drawing medicine in to a syringe. A patient inside one of the treatment rooms is deteriorating fast.He never goes inside but communicated through a window to colleagues with the patient. They never come outside during crisis moments, and this is one.When it's ready, the medicine is passed through a compartment door.
We're moved back and the corridors locked down as a new patient is brought in. This happens every time as preparation is the key to stopping the virus. We are shown into the sub-intensive care unit where the patients are either recovering or haven't deteriorated yet, but the same separation rules as the ICU apply. A red and white tape marks the line that can't be crossed.
