There is only one official Imperial Hospital in the Chu Country. Although it has dozens of Imperial Physicians, they must ensure the health of the nobles inside and outside the Imperial City. In case of an epidemic, not many can be dispatched.
Wen Wan proposed that Emperor Xuanjing transfer a few Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital and then heavily recruit doctors from the public sectors, and classify the residents in the Northern Border epidemic area into three levels: uninfected, mildly infected, and severely infected.
There should be corresponding prescriptions for each level, and decoction should be distributed daily.
The uninfected are to be given preventive treatment, while the mildly and severely infected are to be isolated separately, with different prescriptions.
The bodies of patients who have died should be incinerated at designated locations.
