[Reporter] More questions followed by a quick exam.

[記者] 病患會被問一些問題，接著進行快速的檢查。

[Reporter] The results take 24 hours but doctors urge people not to just show up in hospital.

[記者] 檢驗結果需要等 24 小時，但醫生勸民眾不要突然出現在醫院就診。

[Reporter] Staff are also preparing for those scenarios.

[Dr. Erin O'Connor] We also have been really running drills on the worst case scenario, which is that if a patient comes in with COVID-19 and is in a cardiac arrest situation.

[醫生 Erin O'Connor] 我們確實也以最糟糕的情況進行演習，也就是如果患者已感染 COVID-19 並處於心臟停搏的狀態。

[Reporter] It's a mannequin but in case you missed it, it exhaled, spraying workers like a patient.

[記者] 這是一個人體模型，但如果你剛剛沒注意到的話，它呼氣了，像病人一樣口沫噴灑到醫護人員。

Afterwards, UV light reveals how far germs can travel.

接著，紫外線可以顯示細菌可以傳播多遠的距離。

[急診醫生] 對呀，壓力非常大。

It's very stressful and anxiety-provoking.

壓力非常大，也會讓人焦慮不安。

[Reporter] Reminding everyone, as this outbreak evolves, proper precautions must be taken by health care workers and patients alike.
