Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

Liu Wei and Wang Jianguo took the initiative to divert patients, preventing them from crowding in front of Chen Ping's clinic.

Eighty percent of the patients who come to Siping Township Health Center are looking for Chen Ping.

Liu Wei and Wang Jianguo did not have many patients in their clinics.

They both enjoy their leisure time most of the time.

But given what happened today, we had to see the patients and evacuate them as quickly as possible, so the two of them guided the patients to their clinic.

About half an hour later, the woman's family members arrived at the health center one after another.

The first to arrive was her husband, a man in his forties, wearing a faded work jacket, looking flustered as he entered.

He was stopped at the door by Wang Tao, who registered him, took his temperature, and then took him to another clinic for an antigen test.

Following behind was the woman's mother-in-law, an elderly woman in her sixties with gray hair, carrying a cloth bag in her hand, asking as she walked, "How is my daughter-in-law?"

Beside the old lady were two children, one about ten years old and the other five or six. The older one was holding the younger one's hand. Both of them were quiet, with a blank look on their little faces as if they didn't quite understand what was happening.

Wang Tao arranged for the family to be placed in an empty clinic at the end of the corridor and conducted tests on them one by one.

The consultation room was quiet while we waited for the results. The old lady sat on the chair clutching her cloth bag without saying a word, the man squatted in the corner, and the two children stood against the wall. No one made a sound.

Chen Ping stood at the door of the consultation room, watching without going in to urge them or saying anything more, just waiting.

The results came out very quickly.

All four people tested negative, showing only one negative result.

The man visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the single line.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked, "Doctor, when can my daughter-in-law come home? She has two children who can't be without their mother."

"Auntie, your daughter-in-law needs to be hospitalized for observation now. I think she'll be fine by tomorrow, so please don't worry."

Chen Ping walked into the consultation room and said.

"That's good, that's good!" The old lady immediately relaxed a lot when she heard that she could go home tomorrow.

"Dr. Chen, may I see my wife?" the man asked Chen Ping, looking somewhat nervous.

Perhaps they were afraid Chen Ping would refuse, since such a contagious disease was not something that could be viewed.

"Okay, but we have to keep it behind glass; you can't enter the ward!" Chen Ping said.

"Okay!" The man nodded.

Chen Ping led the man to the ward where the woman was staying.

The woman was agitated in the ward. Seeing her husband, she rushed to the door and asked through the glass window, "How are our babies? Have they been infected?"

The woman was worried about her two children, but the adults had strong immune systems and could recover quickly from the infection.

But children have weak immune systems, and if they get infected, it will be troublesome.

"No!" The man shook his head. "Everything's fine at home, don't worry."

"Just stay at the health center and relax. Dr. Chen said there shouldn't be any major problems tomorrow, and you can go home."

"Okay!" The woman nodded. "When you get home, take good care of the children and don't let them run around."

"Understood!" the man replied, then looked at Chen Ping, "Dr. Chen, thank you for your help..."

"It's my duty!" Chen Ping smiled faintly, then said, "Although you have all tested negative, the risk still exists because you were in close contact."

"I'll get you some medicine. Take it when you get home, for three consecutive days. It will effectively prevent infection."

"Keep the house well-ventilated these days, wash your hands frequently, try to stay home as little as possible and avoid visiting others, take your temperature every morning and evening, and come for a follow-up check immediately if you feel unwell."

"Understood!" the man said.

Chen Ping got the medicine for the family, gave them a few more instructions, and then saw them off.

After seeing the family off, Chen Ping went to the ward to give the woman a follow-up examination. Based on her physical signs, pulse, and symptoms, he finalized a gentle and effective symptomatic treatment plan.

We prescribed antipyretics, cough suppressants, and heat-clearing medications, along with physical cooling methods and rest to alleviate her discomfort and accelerate her recovery.

The woman's emotions have completely stabilized; she is no longer panicked, is cooperating fully with the treatment, and is resting peacefully in the isolation ward.

Just as things were settled here, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the health center.

Zhang Jianmin strode in, his brows furrowed and his expression clearly tense.

The township government had just received a report from Zhao Guosheng that a positive case of infectious disease had appeared in the local health center. This was a matter of health and safety for all the people in the township and could not be taken lightly. He immediately put down his work and rushed over.

"Dr. Chen, how is the situation? Is it serious? Will it spread?"

As soon as Zhang Jianmin entered, he went straight to the point, his tone full of urgency.

If the epidemic is allowed to spread, the main leaders of their township government will all be held responsible.

In the past few years, during the pandemic, many officials were punished for their negligence, which led to the spread of the virus.

Seeing Zhang Jianmin's nervous expression, Chen Ping quickly said, "Secretary Zhang, don't be nervous. The situation is completely under control."

"The patient tested positive with mild symptoms, experiencing persistent high fever and dry cough, but did not develop severe symptoms."

"All her close contacts have been traced, and all four tested negative. There has been no family cluster infection so far."

"I have already distributed preventative medication to the family members and given them instructions on protective measures."

"The patient has been placed in a separate isolation ward and is receiving closed-loop treatment, so he will not come into contact with other villagers who are seeking medical treatment."

"The entire hospital has completed the first round of comprehensive disinfection, and all triage and prevention and control procedures have been implemented in place. There is no risk of large-scale spread."

Hearing Chen Ping say this, Zhang Jianmin's tense brows gradually relaxed, and the heavy weight in his heart was finally lifted.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and the tension on his face faded.

"That's good, that's good."

Zhang Jianmin nodded repeatedly and said with emotion, "What we fear most now is the sudden spread of infectious diseases. If the control measures are not timely, it will affect tens of thousands of villagers in our entire Siping Township."

"Secretary Zhang, you can inform all the villages to pay close attention. If anyone has a persistent high fever in the next two days, they should come to the health center for a check-up as soon as possible and not take antipyretics on their own," Chen Ping said.

"No problem, I'll inform the village chiefs as soon as I get back."

Zhang Jianmin nodded and gently patted Chen Ping on the shoulder: "It's all thanks to your experience and accurate judgment. If it were someone else, they might have treated it as a common cold. If it had been misdiagnosed, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Chen Ping smiled slightly: "The current COVID-19 pandemic is not as severe as it was a few years ago. We also have sufficient countermeasures and medicines. As long as we are meticulous and responsible enough, the pandemic will not spread."

"That's enough. I'll go back and inform the villages to take note. If the patient recovers and is discharged, remember to send me a message."

Zhang Jianmin said.

"Okay!" Chen Ping nodded.
