Thank you to the amazing hospital engineers who in just a few days have converted our new 6-bed @wellingtonicu extension into a large negative pressure room. And also built two new air locks where corridors used to be. https://t.co/rJaRaRJUy7

The #Hantavirus first emerged in 1950s in the American-Korean war in Korea (Hantan river). It spreads from rat/mice if humans injest their body fluids. Human-human transmission is rare. There were even vaccines developed for it. Please do not panic, unless you plan to eat rats.

Breaking the chain of transmission means physical distancing needs to be practised by health professionals too. Stay away from the hospital when you can. Conduct handovers via Zoom or similar. Wash your hands. #COVID19nz
