After verification, the pregnant woman was diagnosed with influenza B after admission, which is a Class C infectious disease and has a certain risk of spread. In order to ensure the safety of the pregnant woman and maintain the safety of other pregnant women in the hospital, after consultation with experts of the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, in the case of assessing the safety of the pregnant woman and the fetus, and obtaining the consent of the pregnant woman and her family, we sent the obstetrician of our hospital to accompany her, transferred from the 120 ambulance to the Municipal Public Health Center, and did a good job of transfer. After the transfer, our hospital has maintained communication with the Municipal Public Health Center to understand the situation of the mother and baby, and conducted a return visit, and the mother and baby are safe and have been discharged. Our hospital will continue to pay attention to the health of mothers and children in cooperation with the district where the mother lives.
