Dr Arisina Ma, right, says staff morale at public hospitals 'is okay' despite the third wave of coronavirus patients. The president of the Public Doctors’ Association has urged the government to prepare more isolation beds, on news that some coronavirus patients have waited for days and still not been admitted to hospital, RTHK reports. However, I would like to say that for this disease, you have an incubation of, let's say, seven to 14 days. "On the other hand, if we really run out of any isolation facilities or isolation hospital beds, handling some very stable patients at home is another option [worth consideration]." Ma also addressed staff morale at public hospitals, which was a concern when some employees went on strike during an earlier outbreak this year.
