Frontline Heroes Keep Guard as China Adapts to “New Normal”
While Beijing has downgraded its COVID-19 emergency response level, hospitals like Pinggu Hospital of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine remain on high alert. Meet Wei Aimei, a pre-screening triage staffer who embodies the delicate balance between reopening and vigilance. 🌡️
Vigilance at the Gates
Wei and her team are the first line of defense, coaching patients on proper mask usage and meticulously tracking travel histories – with extra attention to overseas visitors. “We’re here so everyone can feel safe while rebuilding,” she explains, comparing her role to a “health concierge” in a world still learning to navigate pandemic realities.
New Normal, Same Discipline
1-meter distancing enforced at registration, pharmacy counters, and payment windows
Daily afternoon disinfections of waiting areas and consultation rooms
24/7 mask mandates in high-traffic zones like hospitals and train stations
While businesses reopen, healthcare workers maintain protocols sharper than a K-pop dance routine 💃 – because when it comes to public health, there’s no room for error.
A Delicate Balance
As China moves forward, these unsung heroes prove that post-pandemic life isn’t about returning to “normal,” but creating smarter safeguards. Their message? Progress doesn’t mean letting our guard down – it means protecting communities while rebuilding.
