Experts talk about rumors of new pneumonia epidemic prevention and control
2020-01-26 20:03:14 Xinhuanet

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 26th. Regarding the rumors of the prevention and control of various new coronavirus-infected pneumonia outbreaks in WeChat groups and circle of friends, experts on the 26th interpreted these as rumors. I hope everyone will not believe or rumor.

Rumor 1: Academician Zhong Nanshan suggested "the whole Chinese people quarantine at home for two weeks"

相关 The relevant person in charge of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University said that Academician Zhong Nanshan never put forward the proposal of "the entire Chinese people are isolated at home for two weeks". However, Academician Zhong Nanshan emphasized attention to protection, early detection and early isolation, minimizing transmission as much as possible, and reducing the probability of "super communicators". Pay attention to protection, but don't panic. Try to avoid visiting relatives and friends as much as possible, avoid going to crowded places, wearing masks, paying attention to ventilation, washing your hands frequently, exercising more, and staying up late.

Rumor 2: Academician Zhong Nanshan has been infected with a new coronavirus

介绍 The relevant person in charge of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University introduced that in the morning of the 25th, Academician Zhong Nanshan returned to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University to work.

Rumor three: mouthwash with fresh saline can prevent new coronavirus

According to Xuanwang.com, "Mr. Zhong Nanshan suggested salt water mouthwash to prevent virus." The team of Academician Zhong Nanshan of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University dismissed the rumor: saline mouthwash is good for cleaning the mouth and throat, and it is helpful for sore throat. However, the area invaded by the new coronavirus is in the respiratory tract, and mouthwashing cannot clean the respiratory tract. Secondly, there are no research results suggesting that saline has a killing effect on the new coronavirus.

Rumor 4: Taking large doses of anti-flu drugs can prevent new coronavirus infections

Professor Anhua Wu of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine Hospital Infection Control Branch believes that there is no evidence-based medical evidence that anti-flu drugs such as abidol have a preventive effect on new coronavirus infection. Taking a large dose of abidol has side effects and its adverse The event rate was approximately 6.2%, which was mainly manifested by nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, and increased serum transaminase. Special attention should be paid to pregnant women and lactating women, those with severe renal insufficiency must use such drugs with caution.

Rumor 5: drinking can kill the virus

锡 Xin Yanxin, the leader of the pneumonia expert group for the treatment of new coronavirus infection in Hebei Province, said that the new coronavirus is indeed intolerant to alcohol, and alcohol has a good disinfection effect. However, after a person drinks alcohol, alcohol enters the bloodstream through the gastrointestinal tract and is eliminated by liver metabolism. The new type of coronavirus infection is that the virus enters the respiratory tract and causes airway and lung lesions. "After a person drinks alcohol, the content of alcohol in the airways is far from enough to kill the virus, so there is no possibility of drinking to prevent or treat new coronavirus infections. On the contrary, excessive drinking reduces the body's resistance and easily leads to more serious Infection. "Yan Xixin said.

Expert: New coronaviruses are infectious when they do not have any typical symptoms during the incubation period
Published: 2020-01-26 14:35:08 | Source: Xinhua | Author: Huang Xiao Wangbing Yang
More News Enter News Center

Xinhua News Agency, Hangzhou, January 26th, reporters learned from Sheng Jifang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Zhejiang University First Hospital, deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Infectious Diseases Diagnosis and Treatment, and member of the pneumonia expert group for the diagnosis and treatment of new coronavirus infection in Zhejiang Province. Case studies of pneumonia associated with a new coronavirus infection have been contagious when there were no typical symptoms during the incubation period.

'We encountered a patient who came to Hangzhou from Wuhan to attend a conference. When he arrived in Hangzhou, he did not have any symptoms. He did not have the typical symptoms of cough and fever. But it didn't take long before several colleagues he had contacted were infected Symptoms appeared one after another. But at this time, he still did not have the disease himself. After returning to Wuhan at the end of the meeting, he did not get the disease after another two days. 'Sheng Jifang introduced.

Sheng Jifang said that after different people are infected with the new coronavirus, the course of disease development and clinical symptoms may be very different. It is possible that this person developed symptoms immediately after infection, while another person had no obvious symptoms during the incubation period after infection. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary citizens to identify.

According to the 'Pneumonitis Prevention and Control Plan for New Coronavirus Infection (Second Edition)' released by the National Health and Health Committee on the evening of the 22nd, the longest incubation period of the disease is about 14 days based on the current knowledge of pneumonitis infected by the new Coronavirus.

'This case tells everyone that even during the incubation period, when there are no typical symptoms, it is already contagious.' Sheng Jifang said. 'If you come back from Wuhan or have contact with the epidemic source, you should do your own quarantine. Do not contact others during the quarantine, and do not spread the virus to family, colleagues and friends. This is very important.'

Sheng Jifang hopes that those who have come out of Wuhan but have not yet reached 14 days should be isolated by themselves, or those who have symptoms should go to the hospital for screening in time for effective treatment.

NHC verification. From a press conference:

"The pneumonia epidemic of the new coronavirus infection has mild patients. The incubation period is also infectious from observation. The incubation period is about 10 Around one day, the shortest was one day, and the longest was 14 days, which is very different from SARS. At present, the rate of development of the epidemic is accelerating. I am afraid that it will continue for some time, and the number of cases may increase."

Disease control experts interpret pneumonia of new coronavirus infection in Chongqing
January 26, 2020 20:20 Source: China News Network

On the 26th, the Chongqing Municipal Health and Health Committee invited Tang Wenge, deputy director of the Chongqing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to interpret the pneumonia of the new coronavirus infection. Photo by Han Luzhen

Langzhong Xinwang, Chongqing, January 26 (Reporter Han Lu) On the 26th, the Chongqing Municipal Health and Health Commission invited Tang Wenge, deputy director of the Chongqing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to interpret the pneumonia of the new coronavirus infection.

The first case of pneumonia in a new coronavirus infection was confirmed in Chongqing on January 21. As of 24:00 on January 25, 75 cases have been diagnosed in Chongqing, involving 24 districts and counties. According to the relevant analysis and judgment of Chongqing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the pneumonia epidemic situation of new coronavirus infection in Chongqing presents the following characteristics:

First, imported cases will continue to show a rapid upward trend. The distribution of pneumonitis cases of new coronavirus infection has covered most districts and counties. With the next step of grid active search, the diagnosis report is more sensitive and quicker, and the infectious patients in the incubation period will gradually get sick. The imported cases will continue to show rapid growth in the future. Upward trend.

Second, the number of local cases has gradually increased. With the progress of the epidemic, second-generation cases that have come into close contact with imported patients who have become infected and those with latent infection have emerged (recently, Wuhan imported cases have infected infected family members in some districts and counties). In the later period, we judge that this part of the cases will gradually increase.

Twenty-third is that the risk of outbreaks in the later period is still high. With the peak of the second wave of passenger flow during the Spring Festival after the holiday, the number of people going back to Chongqing for vacation travel, school opening, and other factors, crowd gathering has reappeared, and coupled with virus mutations, the situation of epidemic prevention and control has become more complicated and severe.

分析 Analysis of the Cultural Revolution in the Tang Dynasty, the recent rapid rise in cases in Chongqing, there are four main reasons:

First, the proximity of the region and the frequent movement of people led to a large number of cases.

Chongqing and Wuhan have close contacts and convenient transportation. There are many people who come to Chongqing and return to their hometowns to work in Wuhan. According to the Health Times Baidu Map Migration Tracking and Monitoring from January 10th to 23rd, the number of inflows from Wuhan to other provinces in Chongqing ranks second in the country. This part of the group is mostly migrant workers who work in places where the crowd gathers (such as farmers' markets, catering services, and construction sites). They have limited living conditions, complicated contacts, weak protection awareness, and a high probability of infection, which leads to a relatively high case input. many. According to statistics, 90% of the confirmed cases in Chongqing are clearly imported cases in Wuhan.

Second, the peak of the Spring Festival and the sharp increase in returnees led to the concentration of case input.

At the height of the Spring Festival, returnees from Wuhan are popping up. According to an epidemiological survey, some of the 75 patients who have been diagnosed in Chongqing have developed symptoms before coming to Chongqing. In addition, due to a certain incubation period before the onset of the disease, according to current data, the average incubation period of new coronaviruses is about 7 days (up to 14 days), and the influx of large numbers of people has led to the concentrated input of potential cases.

Thirty-three is the intensified surveillance to make case detection more timely.

After the state held a teleconference on January 14 to deploy related prevention and control work, Chongqing immediately initiated training of medical staff, urgently equipped with relevant testing reagents, strengthened the setting of fever clinics and pre-test triages, strengthened the promotion of health knowledge, and the public's awareness of medical treatment continued to increase The monitoring sensitivity of medical institutions has been improved, and a large number of people with a history of contacts in Wuhan and a history of close contact have been timely monitored and found.

24. Simplification of the diagnostic reporting procedure makes case confirmation faster.

According to the requirements of the national prevention and control plan and in accordance with the actual situation, after the first case was announced in Chongqing, Chongqing further standardized the epidemic reporting system, delegated authority to districts and counties in accordance with laws and regulations, and simplified the diagnostic reporting process It can be identified after review by Chongqing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; subsequent confirmed cases are detected by tertiary hospitals, district and county disease control agencies, and confirmed by clinical experts), which improves the timeliness and sensitivity of the epidemic report. This is also conducive to early response measures to curb the spread of the epidemic, so the number of confirmed cases reported by districts and counties has increased rapidly.

Tang Cultural Revolution said that the continuous detection of imported cases is generally beneficial to the prevention and control of the epidemic, and it is helpful for early detection, early reporting and early treatment, and effectively curbing the spread of the epidemic.

For the personal protection and home protection of citizens, the Tang Cultural Revolution recommends:

First, do not go to places where crowds gather, do not organize to participate in various parties, and stay away from wild animal markets. If you want to go out, you must wear a mask, wash your hands, don't rub your eyes with your hands and pick your nose. At present, it is also the season when respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza are high. In case of respiratory symptoms such as fever and dry cough, don't panic, please bring a mask and go to a local medical institution for a hot clinic. To do this, everyone should be safe.

Second, proactively inform and protect the health of yourself and your family. Returnees from Wuhan should actively inform local community cadres and grassroots medical staff, and coordinate with community cadres and doctors to minimize the chance of contact with others and protect the health of their families and the public. Follow the doctor's instructions to start medical observation for 14 days from the second day of returning to Chongqing, and monitor body temperature daily. When respiratory symptoms such as fever and dry cough occur, don't panic. Take a mask immediately and go to a local medical institution for a hot clinic. The time of return from Wuhan and people who have been in close contact since the onset of symptoms.

The third is active cooperation and isolation. The implementation of segregated medical observations on suspected patients and close contacts of infectious diseases is a requirement of the law on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, and it is also to protect personal and public health. Once identified by the health and health department as a close contact or suspicious exposure, everyone must keep in mind social responsibility, actively cooperate with relevant departments to carry out medical observations, strictly protect measures, and do not contact with others. Once respiratory symptoms such as fever and dry cough occur, immediately Tell your doctor, follow the arrangements, and refer for treatment.
