HOHHOT: Some Chinese medical staff have been teaching Covid-19 patients Qigong, a traditional Chinese system of deep breathing exercise, to help them stay active during treatment.
A newly posted video on Weibo, WeChat and other social media platforms captured a hazmat-suited nurse teaching his patients Baduanjin, a traditional aerobics form, in a hospital ward in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
The nurse in the video is Liu Dongming, one of the more than 800 medical workers from north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to help the epidemic control efforts in Hubei.“Some patients were under great psychological pressure and often stayed in bed,” he told Xinhua in a phone call interview yesterday.Sometimes his activities were limited by the hazmat suit, and he demonstrated it over and over again.
“Baduanjin might do some good to them, as the smoothing movements could comfort their body and mood,” he added.As a nurse of Baotou Traditional Medicine Hospital, Liu fell in love with Baduanjin several years ago during a preparation for a regional Qigong competition, in which he won the third place. — Xinhua
