Objective During the epidemic of COVID-19, efficient ward management is
an important part of preventing nosocomial infection while ensuring the
medical works properly without any Covid-19 case. Method Ward management
practice was updated, including optimizing the personnel access
processes and strengthening infection control procedures in the
gastrointestinal surgery ward during Jan. 23 to Mar. 15, 2020. Results
With 43 beds open, 192 patients were treated, 72 were operated on, 89
received chemotherapy after surgery, and 187 were discharged from

patients, their families,or medical staff were infected. Conclusion Ward
