In response to the outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (COVID-19 pneumonia) in late 2019, many temporary emergency hospitals have been built or rebuilt in some key areas in China. The environment of hospital negative pressure isolation room is closely related to medical workers’ health and safety, while ventilation system has been the major means of environmental control. The design points of Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital (also named as the Thunder Mountain Hospital, which was specifically built to address the COVID-19 pneumonia in February 2020) was briefly introduced and analyzed in the article, as well as some essential elements of the ventilation design to build negative pressure isolation rooms, such as ventilation volume design standard, differential pressure control standard and airflow direction strategy. The measures of differential pressure control are also illustrated in the article. The points in the assay could be used as reference for those engaged in the future designing and construction of infectious disease hospitals.
