因應疫情發展，病房內的工作指引每天都在改變，個人防護設備和病房數量不足亦影響我們的團隊士氣。再者，社區可能出現更多隱形病人，我們的病房需要處理大量個案，但人手卻沒有得到相應的補足。

雖然現在較以前忙碌和疲倦，但我覺得不能抱怨，因為身處這個病房，就要承擔起這些責任，也要繼續努力做好自己的本份。

這是一次頗深刻的體驗。SARS時我還年幼，只知道停課在家很開心。但現在面對疫情，我深深地體會到前線醫護人員的壓力。」

[Together, We Fight COVID-19 (Local) 💪]

Mr. Oscar Tsang is our Bachelor of Nursing graduate who is currently working in the surveillance ward of the Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital. Let’s listen to his experience sharing on combating COVID-19:😃

“I work in the surveillance ward which mainly screens and receives suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. At the beginning, we knew very little about the disease and so would unavoidably feel worried. And now, both our workload and stress levels are unprecedentedly high.

As the situation develops, our guidelines for working in the ward change every day. The shortage of personal protective equipment and hospital wards have also affected the morale of our colleagues. What’s more, there might be more invisible patients in the community. Our ward has to deal with a large number of cases, but our workforce has not been increased accordingly.

Compared with the past, our workload now is much heavier and we feel more exhausted. But I am not complaining, because I know that I am a member of the team and it’s my responsibility to continue doing my work well.

Taking part in the fight against COVID-19 is indeed an unforgettable experience. I was still so young during the SARS outbreak, and was glad that I could stay at home due to class suspension. But now, in the face of the current epidemic, I can fully understand the huge pressure experienced by the frontline health care professionals.”
