Beginning at early December 2019, there is an outbreak of a
novel 2019-nCoV in Wuhan, China. Then, Public Health Emergency of International
Concern (PHEIC) was declared on 30 January 2020, by the World Health
Organization (WHO) Emergency Committee. The 2019-nCoV pandemic could lead to an
influx of critically ill into the already strained hospital systems in mainland
China. Dealing with the pandemic requires a robust hospital- and city-wide
command and control structure that could make quick and informed decisions
among Chinese hospitals. We recommend that a proper plan can enable the local
government, healthcare systems, hospitals, and healthcare workers to better
cope with such public eventuality. The response should be flexible and
adjustable according to the size of the population impacted.
