Our CMT members have provided coverage 24 hours per day, 7 days per week to arrange the ICU admission flow and the transfer of patients to other hospitals based on the daily MOH plan. The refinement of the respiratory and ICU care included changing the ventilator circuits and filters based on patient needs, avoiding nebulizers, creating specialized intubation and prone-positioning ventilation teams, and upgrading the oxygen supply system. 7 New hospital communication systems have been installed in the pop-up ICUs. The communication between frontline staff and the CMT is continuous. Moreover,~600 COVID-19 patients have been hospitalized in our ICU over the past 4 months. Continuous medical education of our staff about COVID-19 by our MOH could facilitate the management of future outbreaks.	./cache/cord-331369-q7opbz7v.txt	./txt/cord-331369-q7opbz7v.txt
