The coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the world. In Israel, the number of confirmed cases has surpassed 6,000. A series of online consultations have connected medical professionals in Israel and China.
On Wednesday, Chinese frontline doctors in Wuhan shared their COVID-19 experience with their Israeli counterparts during an online medical consultation, which CGTN streamed online.
Doctors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), Sheba Medical Center and Rambam Health Care Campus discussed COVID-19 test kits, treatment of patients in critical condition and controlling infection among health care workers and the general public among other topics.

Dr. Cao Wei with the Infectious Diseases Department at PUMCH, said N95 masks would be necessary for treating diagnosed patients in the isolation wards. The masks need to be changed every six to eight hours. "You should also wear goggles and protective screens if possible," Cao added.
Vice Chief of Internal Medicine Department at PUMCH, Dr. Yan Xiaowei, recommended that every COVID-19 patient should be isolated. "For the public, they should wear masks, wash their hands, and avoid gatherings," Yan told the Israeli doctors.
Doctors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital have been assisting Wuhan for almost two months. It's the second time they have joined an online conference with their Israeli peers.
Dr. Yan believed that the communication with global peers isnecessary andmeaningful."In the past several months, we have treated critically-ill COVID-19 patients in our wards. We managed these patients and gained some experience. I think our experience is not only important for us, but also important for our colleaguesabroad."
As the coronavirus outbreak grows in scale and scope, combating COVID-19 has become a global issue.
This is the 12th such online medical consultation on COVID-19 that CGTN has held over the past month. Chinese frontline doctors are invited to share their experiences treating patients in the hope that medical professionals around the world can benefit from what they have learned.
