Nevertheless, Roxanne managed to recollect herself swiftly.
There were many things they had to work on instantly, so they had no time to waste.
The first thing they had to do was to lock down the entire building where the emergency room was before contacting all of the people who had entered that building that day to tell them to stay in the building.
‘Secondly, they had to contact the Centers for Disease Control to convey the gravity of the situation.
Thirdly, all of the emergency room staff members had to be sent to different rooms for standby so that they could find out whether or not they had been infected by the bacteria “What's next is that the lab personnel will do their best to find out more details of this bacterium while all infected doctors and nurses will be given antibiotics.
If any of their symptoms abruptly worsen to the point their lives are in danger, please come to me right away so | can perform acupuncture on them,” Roxanne uttered, her expression somber.

Madilyn nodded and immediately informed the management-level employees of the hospital about Roxanne's armangements.
