Background: The Fangcang shelter hospital has gradually become the primary management mode in China's fight against this Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2020. In early 2022, the Fangcang shelter hospital management model was successfully applied to the new outbreak of COVID-19 in Shanghai also. Although Fangcang shelter hospitals are no longer the prevailing mode of prevention of COVID-19, the management experience of Shanghai makeshift hospitals is worthy of reference for public health.
Methods: The authors conducted a descriptive statistical analysis of Hall 6-2 of the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center Fangcang shelter hospital. The whole hall of the Fangcang shelter hospital was managed by the one hospital, and the inclusion of third-party management personnel alleviated the shortage of medical personnel human resources. Through practice, a new procedure for treating batch infected people was introduced.
Results: By optimizing ward management, 72 on-duty doctors, 360 on-duty nurses, 3 sense-control administrators, and 15 administrators cured 18,574 infected people in 40 days, and created a record of a doctor managing 700 infected people without compromising the quality of treatment. There have been no deaths and no complaints from the infected people located in Hall 6-2 of the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center Fangcang shelter hospital.
Conclusion: Compared with previous data, the new management mode of Fangcang shelter hospitals provides a reference for the management of the new infectious diseases for public health.

Background: During the Omicron BA.2 variant outbreak in Shanghai, China, from April to May 2022, PCR nucleic acid test re-positivity (TR) occurred frequently, yet the risk factors and predictive models for TR remain unclear. This study aims to identify the factors influencing Omicron TR and to develop machine learning models to predict TR risk.

Article Synopsis
- The study enhances a model to predict infection risks of respiratory diseases in large public spaces by analyzing factors like pathogen release and airflow.
- The findings indicate that infection probabilities vary greatly within a shelter hospital, with some areas facing risks 4 to 14 times higher than average.
- It also reveals concerning statistics, such as a 1.72% infection probability for medical staff, suggesting that patients in specific wards could infect healthcare workers every four days.

Background: The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been enormously damaging, in which prolonged shedding of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, previously 2019-nCoV) infection is a challenge in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. However, there is still incomplete research on the risk factors that affect delayed shedding of SARS-CoV-2.
Methods: In a retrospective analysis of 56,878 hospitalized patients in the Fangcang Shelter Hospital (National Convention and Exhibition Center) in Shanghai, China, we compared patients with the duration of SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding > 12 days with those days < 12 days.

We examined the relationship between RAAS inhibitor use and Omicron infection in mildly symptomatic patients. This retrospective case-control observational study included 50,121 patients with mild Omicron infection from the largest "Fangcang" shelter hospital in Shanghai between April 9, 2022, and May 21, 2022. Using 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM), we classified 4394 COVID-19 patients into hypertension and non-hypertension groups, and 406 hypertensive patients into RAAS inhibitor and non-RAAS inhibitor groups.

Background: Fangcang shelter hospitals are quarantine facilities offering primary medical treatment for mild and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases. Little is known about the age-specific prevalence of insomnia among patients in Fangcang shelter hospitals, particularly in older age groups.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the three largest Fangcang shelter hospitals during the lockdown period, from March to May 2022, in Shanghai.
