This article compiles 16 COVID-19 Procedures for Hospitals according to clinical experience from FAHZU, based on the 2020 Handbook of COVID-19 Prevention and Treatment from The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine.
The templates below are operational examples for hospitals and medical centers designing infection prevention and control workflows, patient-placement procedures, PPE steps, disinfection routines, waste handling, exposure response, and discharge follow-up. They should be reviewed against current WHO, CDC, national, local, and facility-specific guidance before use.
The handbook contains policies, charts, imaging examples, and clinical recommendations. This Process Street article focuses on the process-aligned elements of the guide and turns them into checklist-style procedure templates.
Some items function as linear procedures to guide action. Others work better as setup guides, printable wall references, or recurring audits of systems that need to stay ready under pressure.
The article is structured as follows:
- How to use these COVID-19 templates
- Handbook of COVID-19 Prevention and Treatment from FAHZU (2020)

How to use Process Street for healthcare providers
Process Street is a Compliance Operations Platform for teams that need procedures to be followed, recorded, approved, and improved without relying on memory or scattered documents.
For healthcare providers, that means a procedure can live as more than a static page. Teams can run it as a workflow, assign owners, require approvals, collect form data, route exceptions, and keep an audit-ready record of what happened.
Many of the templates above can still be printed and displayed in the relevant areas. Their stronger use is as governed workflows: every run has owners, timestamps, evidence, and a completion record.
Process Street brings together Docs for governed SOPs, Ops for workflow execution, and Cora, an AI compliance agent that monitors execution and flags risk. For teams connecting procedures to EHRs, ticketing tools, data warehouses, or communication systems, our healthcare integration guide explains how connected healthcare operations can reduce manual handoffs.
Process Street has a range of workflow features that support procedure execution:
- Stop tasks
- Conditional logic
- Dynamic due dates
- Task permissions
- Task assignments
- Role assignments
- Webhooks
- Embed widget
- Approvals
If your team needs governed SOPs and auditable workflow execution, visit Process Street.
