Wuhan Doctor "Post Station" At Epidemic Center

Unusual moments often give ordinary people extraordinary radiance.

Zhou Lei, a 33 year old boy, owner of a chain hotel, opened eight small hotels called "instant life" in Wuhan. Until Wuhan was hit by a sudden new coronavirus before the Spring Festival of 2020, the 10 million big cities suddenly stopped. Seeing the exhausted medical staff, Zhou Lei and other hotel colleagues formed an alliance to launch aid to donate their hotel to provide free accommodation for medical staff.

These loving "temporary shelters" are called Wuhan doctors' post stations, which have been increasing since January 23rd. By the 30 day of January, 318 hotels were involved, covering more than 10 districts in Wuhan. Medical personnel only need ID cards and work permits.

According to the Wuhan health care Hotel Support Alliance statistics, as at 21 in January 30th, the union provided more than 40 thousand overnight accommodation for 6056 medical staff.

origin

On the morning of January 23rd, Wuhan officially closed down from the Han channel, and the city's subway, public transport, ferry and long-distance passenger transport were closed. Some of the front-line health care workers are worried about their families because of their family addresses. Many doctors and nurses often sleep in offices and beds after working overtime.

Seeing these news pictures, Xiao Yaxing, a Wuhan Hotel practitioner, felt heartache and launched an initiative in the Wuhan Hotel micro letters group, calling on everyone to provide accommodation for medical staff. Zhou Lei is in the group to see the initiative, the first batch of response to the hotel owners.

There are a lot of hot hearted Wuhan hotels, and the number of free lodging houses recruited by the "Wuhan medical care Hotel support group" has increased rapidly. In just a few hours, 86 hotels have responded to the participation. Most of them are small owners of single hotels, and large chain hotels began to join in third days, with more than 300 houses.

Dongcheng International Group joined in January 25th - in fact, the hotel's support for medical staff began in January 21st.

In the twenty-first Century economic report, the president of Hubei theater, Lai Ming, recalled that as the largest number of District Hotel hotels in Wuhan, from January 21st, the Dongcheng hotel continued to produce 6 hotels to cooperate with the government and hospitals to receive front-line medical staff.

After the city was sealed in Wuhan in January 23rd, Lai Shiming reported the situation to Cheng Xinhua, chairman of the international group, for the first time to the East. Then the board of directors of the group instructed the east to show ten thousand rooms in the hotel area in Hubei within 10 hours, and to receive front-line medical staff and family members. As of January 31st, there were 86 hospitals in Dongcheng Hotel, and more than 20 thousand medical and health workers were received.

In addition to the East, large chain hotels and Jinjiang group are in action. Huang Hongyu, head of the Wuhan regional epidemic prevention and control working group of Jinjiang Capital City Hotel Management Co., Ltd., told reporters that at present, dozens of hotels in the Jinjiang Metropolitan Hotel, the Magnolia Hotel and JinJiang Inn have participated in the work of supporting and receiving medical workers. There are five hotels in Wuhan, which belong to three brands of Jinjiang capital, Magnolia and JinJiang Inn. Since January 23rd, the five hotels have received more than 3800 medical workers. "As a state owned enterprise directly under the Jinjiang group, as a corporate citizen's social responsibility, we decided to join in the first time to support Wuhan's health care workers." Huang Hongyu road.

Hard work

More than half of the 318 Wuhan health care posts are single hotels, residential apartments and small chain hotels. In fact, according to the experience of the SARS period, the hotel industry is the biggest industry affected by the epidemic. These loving and caring people will be worried about their business in the coming months.

Zhou Lei said that there was no time to consider the cost of calculation and future business problems. One of the sponsors of the Wuhan health care Hotel Support Alliance, Li Chao, founder of global travel information, said that since the beginning of operation of the medical care support alliance in Wuhan, many hotel owners have invested a lot of money and manpower for this purpose. Preliminary estimates of utilities and cloth consumption cost more than 2 million 500 thousand yuan, excluding rent and labor costs.

Asked by reporters, Zhou Lei revealed that two of the hotel's operating costs are property rents and manpower and hydropower. Regardless of income, each hotel costs more than 6000 yuan a day, and the longer the epidemic continues, the greater the loss.

Money is not the most important issue. Lai Shiming said that Wuhan medical support hotels now face three major problems. One is the shortage of personnel. As the capital city of Wuhan, the Spring Festival is a "empty city". With the influence of the city closure, many hotels only have three or four employees left behind. Faced with the demand for large-scale accommodation of medical staff, front-line staff need not only work long hours, but also no replacement shifts. The two problem is safety protection. The hotels that are connected to the government and hospitals have professional disinfection and disinfection, but this is only a small number. The Hotels with the largest proportion of voluntary medical staff were sprayed with alcohol and 84 disinfectant to disinfect the hotel. Coupled with the shortage of local materials in Wuhan, many local hotel staff wear only one mask from my protection, and there is inevitably concern about infection. The three is the shortage of materials. After the closure of the city in Wuhan, under the traffic control, the hotel industry is facing not only the shortage of essential materials such as masks, protective clothing, disinfectant water, and so on.

In view of this, after careful and careful assessment and communication, the Wuhan healthcare support Hotel Alliance has decided that from January 31st onwards, 159 individual hotels, residential quarters, apartments and small chain hotels in Wuhan will no longer receive medical staff and guests, and will clear the rooms before January 31st, and prepare for disinfection work. In the other 112 chain hotels, apart from 50 hotels already full of rooms, the remaining 62 hotels continue to provide accommodation services for medical staff.

Requisition?

"I feel that the impact of this epidemic is no less than SARS." Lai Shiming worried.

As for the loss of the Dongcheng Hotel, the afterlife claimed that the scale was so large that "we dare not calculate". With reporters questioning, Shiming made a rough calculation. He said that in Wuhan, the 100 rooms of the hotel had a rent of at least 3 million -400 yuan a year, up to 5 million -600 yuan, and about 400000 yuan a month. At present, the Dongcheng hotel has more than 400 hotels in Hubei. The monthly rental cost of the hotel property is only about 200 million yuan. In addition to the cost of rent, there are personnel costs. According to the state regulations, hotels in the East are still paying full wages to employees during the epidemic. If the hotel continues to have no income, only the two costs of rent and manpower will make the hotel lose its breath.

This reporter has learned that most of the hotels involved in doctors' post offices are not wholly funded. Many people are also lending money while they open their stores, and they are paying money every month. It was hoped that in the fourth or fifth years, the hotel would return to its instincts and catch such a serious epidemic.

In order to alleviate the impact of the epidemic, many chain hotels have taken corresponding measures to alleviate the pressure of franchisees and tide over difficulties. The capital city of Jinjiang also issued special consolation payments to the hotels that were being supported and used. A letter of condolence was issued to encourage everyone to fight in the front line.

"We have also taken some measures. For hotels that are not involved in this public welfare operation, we will give relief to management fees. For those participating in these public welfare activities, we will give some financial support to the hotel in addition to the management fee waiver. Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Lei and the afterlife have made suggestions that the government should take advantage of the hotel during epidemic prevention, which not only meets the needs of the medical staff, but also provides adequate disinfection and safety protection to the hotel.

Zhou Lei also hoped that the landlords of the hotel property would be able to understand the difficulties of the hotel under the impact of the epidemic and reduce some of the rent to help them tide over the difficulties.
