The most interesting parts of the article to me were:

1. They had enough PPE (quite possible - the first place hit should have plenty available)

2. No staff caught the virus (this seems unlikely - even with perfect protection at work, some should have caught it at home?)

If you read the article carefully and look at the pictures, they had issues. One picture shows a doctor wearing plastic shopping bags over their shoes.

Also, the previous staff did get ill, partly because of changing in the dark in a small room. The current staff fixed the lighting and added mirrors.

Contamination from dressing and undressing scrubs was also a problem in Toronto hospitals with SARS-1.

One of the things I read was the Chinese isolated doctors and nurses working with COVID19 patients.
