Abstract
in English, Chinese

2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection has been spreading in China since December 2019. Neonates are presumably the high-risk population susceptible to 2019-nCoV due to immature immune function. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) should be prepared for 2019-nCoV infections as far as possible. The emergency response plan enables the efficient response capability of NICU. During the epidemic of 2019-nCoV, the emergency response plan for the NICU should be based on the actual situation, including diagnosis, isolation, and treatment, as well as available equipment and staffing, and take into account the psychosocial needs of the families and neonatal care staff.

2019年12月开始，中国发生新型冠状病毒（2019-nCoV）感染流行。新生儿由于免疫功能不成熟，推测可能成为2019-nCoV易感高危人群，新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）应尽可能为2019-nCoV感染做好准备。应急准备方案可保证NICU具有高效的应对能力。2019-nCoV感染流行期间，NICU的应急准备方案应根据实际情况做决策，包括诊断、隔离、治疗，以及设备、人员配备等，还应考虑家属及医务人员的心理需求。
