Expert interview -


[Wuhan Explosive Disease] He Boliang described the epidemic as "with two red lights"
6 hours ago


He Bailiang estimates that the virus is adapting or has adapted to human-to-human transmission.

The outbreak of the new coronavirus in Wuhan has gone out of control and spread to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Zhuhai and Shenzhen, and even human-to-human cases have appeared! He Bailiang, the director of the HKU Infection and Infectious Diseases Center, said at the RTHK program that the current situation in Wuhan is "holding two red lights". The first is that the number of confirmed cases has shot up in a short period of time. Widespread transmission in the region.


Although the number of confirmed cases is not large, medical staff and family groups are also recruiting. It is believed that human-to-human transmission is involved, and it is estimated that the virus is adapting or has adapted to human-to-human transmission.

He Bailiang said frankly that what is most worrying is that some cases in Wuhan now have a surveillance period of more than 14 days. Some people who were originally in the community but were not included in the scope of medical surveillance also developed the disease. It appears that the actual number of infected patients in Wuhan is higher than the number of reported confirmed diagnoses.


He also pointed out that there was very little information published in the Mainland, but the Chinese President Xi Jinping issued a full prevention and control directive yesterday. It is believed that transparency will be significantly improved. In addition, national hospitals have issued rapid tests. The number of confirmed cases will increase significantly, especially in Guangdong Province. He explained that according to data from the Mainland, 15 million people are expected during the Spring Festival. Most of the passengers departing from Wuhan are heading south. Therefore, it is expected that the number of confirmed cases before the Lunar New Year will increase a lot.
