進入《中英對照讀新聞》Korea’s front-line virus fighters get creative to up their games 南韓前線抗疫戰士發揮創意來提升成效
南韓首爾「陽地醫院」引進「電話亭」式的武漢肺炎檢測設施。這種設施可以避免醫療人員為了採檢而必須直接接觸病人，並減少消毒作業的時間。圖為設在該院外的這種檢測亭，醫護人員將手伸進掛在亭外的手套中，拿像棉花棒的無菌棉花拭子進行篩檢。（法新社）

Health care workers at the forefront of South Korea’s virus battle are coming up with novel ways to better arm themselves.
位於南韓抗疫前線的醫療照護人員，正想出加強武裝自己的新奇法子。
A virus testing booth developed by a doctor at a public health center in southern Busan allows health workers to wear minimum protection as they swab patients.
由該國南部釜山一名公共衛生中心醫師研發的一種病毒檢測亭，讓醫療人員在用棉花拭子採集檢體時，得以穿戴最少的防護裝備。
"Health care providers require no personal protective equipment as they stand inside the booth and take samples from patients using the gloves protruding outwards," said Dr Ahn Yeo-hyun, who has been working there since December 2016.
「提供醫療照護的人員，當他們站在這種亭子內，用向外伸出的手套採集病人身上的樣本時，不需要任何個人防護裝備」，自2016年12月起在該中心服務至今的安餘賢博士說道。
