TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — As the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic continues to escalate around the world, major cities in China are seeing large crowds of citizens, many unmasked, on the streets and in shopping centers.

Following the official back-to-work day announced by the Chinese government in early February, many businesses and factories in China have resumed their operations. Popular tourist attractions in Shanghai, Beijing, and other cities have also reopened.

According to Liberty Times, most enterprises in the province of Jiangxi have returned to normal operations. However, none of the employees have been asked to provide a health certificate, and only individuals who traveled from Hubei Province, the epicenter of the viral outbreak, and other locked down areas remain under quarantine.

In a discussion thread on Weibo, users shared photos of the Shanghai Costco packed with thousands of customers shopping for groceries.

Release time: 2020-02-24 Source: Department of International Cooperation

On February 24, 2020, after the 9-day study tour to China was concluded, the China-WHO New Crown Pneumonia Joint Expert Study Group held a press conference in Beijing to introduce the study situation and recommendations for China and the global epidemic prevention and control.
　　
The joint expert inspection team consists of 25 Chinese and foreign experts from the fields of epidemiology, virology, clinical management, and public health. During their stay in China, the inspection team held discussions with relevant members of the State Council's response to the joint prevention and control mechanism of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and went to Beijing, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Hubei to conduct field investigations to comprehensively and thoroughly understand the epidemic situation, preventive and control measures, Medical treatment, community (rural) prevention and control, scientific research, etc.
　　
The inspection team believes that the new coronavirus is a new pathogen, and the understanding of the virus transmission mechanism and the severity of the disease is still deepening, and global prevention and control is still facing severe challenges. China has taken unprecedented public health response measures, achieved significant results in slowing the spread of the epidemic and blocking the human-to-human transmission of the virus, and has avoided or at least postponed hundreds of thousands of new cases of pneumonia. In addition, China has also played a vital role in protecting the international community, earning valuable time for countries to take active prevention and control measures, and has provided valuable lessons for reference. China is taking a cautious, phased, and orderly approach to gradually restore normal order in all sectors of society, economy, education, and medical care. Other countries should quickly reassess the measures they have taken against China.
　　
The inspection team recommends that countries carry out proactive monitoring, early detection, early diagnosis, early isolation, and early treatment, and strictly follow up and isolate close contacts. For countries with imported cases or outbreaks, the inspection team recommends that a national emergency response plan be initiated immediately to ensure that governments at all levels take the necessary interventions to block the spread of the epidemic, prepare accordingly and respond to preplans, and take stricter measures when necessary Measures. The inspection team called on all countries to strengthen the sharing of epidemic information, to work together to cope with the challenges of new coronary pneumonia.

Serious outbreak in Wuhan nursing home
Update: 2020-02-25 12:47 AM Tags: Wuhan Pneumonia, Wuhan Nursing Home, Elderly Death, Infection, Concealing Epidemic

[The Epoch Times, February 24, 2020] Since more than two months since the outbreak of the new crown virus in Wuhan, Hubei Province, the most serious cases of mass infection have been reported. The virus has been transmitted to many nursing homes in the city, causing the death of many hospitalized elderly people. However, the Wuhan Municipal Government is still tight-lipped about the tragedy, and many reporters are also under pressure.

According to Caixin Media on Monday (23), 19 elderly people have died in Wuhan Social Welfare Institute, which is only a few hundred meters away from the South China Seafood Market. Since December, one person has died of the new crown virus and 6 others have died. None of the elderly who died of lung infections had been screened for neocoronavirus.

The report also pointed out that many other deaths were registered as septic shock, acute myocardial infarction, sudden death, and arrhythmia, but there were not a few of them with fever symptoms.

Earlier, Caixin reported that there were suspected cases of new crown pneumonia infection and deaths in nursing homes under the jurisdiction of the Wuhan Civil Affairs Bureau, but Wei Wuhan, the official of the Wuhan Municipal Network Information Office, issued a "quotation from the Civil Affairs Bureau, denying that 11 elderly people had repeatedly Rumors of fever, respiratory failure ".

A person familiar with the matter, Ms. Chen, told Radio Free Asia that the government-run nursing home of the Xi'an Street Community Health Service Center in Jiang'an District, Wuhan City also had a severe outbreak. At present, some people are suspected to have died. More than 120 elderly people in the hospital have been transported by ambulances go.

Miss Chen said: It's a nursing home, there is a sign on it, you can see it. Without saying how many people died, it was said that 120 people were infected and then all were taken to the hospital. Is it dangerous for you to post this? Remember to keep me safe.

The reporter contacted the Ximajie Community Health Service Center in Jiang'an District several times, but the two telephones of the agency could not be connected.

Ren Aiping, the person in charge of a local nursing home, confirmed to Radio Free Asia that there were indeed several outbreaks in nursing homes. The homes on Xima Street infected more than 10 people a few days ago, not 120 people transmitted by the Internet. However, she is not clear about the entire nursing home in Wuhan.

Xia Houmin, a contact person of the Dannan Community Nursing Home in Jiangnan District of Wuhan, did not directly respond to the matter of Xima Street when he received an inquiry from this reporter. He said that all the elderly and staff in their nursing home were undergoing nucleic acid inspection. He denied infection in his own hospital.

Xia Houmin said: "We don't have it. We are now doing nucleic acid tests. The elderly in our nursing homes do nucleic acid tests. In-service employees and the elderly do nucleic acid tests, according to the regulations of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I'm busy now, okay?

Radio Free Asia reporters also called the heads of several nursing homes in Wuhan, but the calls were cut off immediately.

According to a Caixin report, the examination of the cause of death of the elderly in the nursing home of the Wuhan Civil Affairs Bureau only started in the middle of this month, and the nursing staff was infected due to lack of supplies.

Radio Asia Freedom reporters found from the Wuhan Civil Affairs Bureau that the agency had previously threatened the caregivers and the elderly and children of the welfare home due to lack of supplies, but the agency's official website barely disclosed the nursing homes and children under its jurisdiction. Actual infections in the orphanage. The reporter called the Wuhan Civil Affairs Bureau many times, but failed to connect.

Exclusive: Cluster of Death Found at Wuhan Nursing Home Near Seafood Market
By Cao Wenjiao and Denise Jia

At least 19 people, mostly seniors, died in a social welfare facility in Wuhan located just one block away from the seafood market where the deadly Covid-19 outbreak is suspected to have originated, even though the local government acknowledged only one death from the virus.

14% of Guangdong's discharged patients "Fuyang" are still contagious? Expert response
Time: 25 February 2020 Source: Guangzhou Daily Author: Editor: Zhou Wenli

On the afternoon of the 25th, the News Office of the People's Government of Guangdong Province held a press conference to report the situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic situation in Guangdong Province, focusing on the current situation of the epidemic situation in Guangdong Province, and how to do the next step of prevention and control after the emergency response has been adjusted to the second level. The heads of the Provincial Health and Health Commission, the Provincial Disease Control Center and the Provincial New Crown Pneumonia Prevention and Control Office's Epidemic Prevention and Control Team answered reporters' questions at the scene.

At present, 14% of patients discharged from Guangdong are "rejuvenated", and the patients have been tested positive for nucleic acid. Does this mean that the patients have re-infected with new coronary pneumonia? Is it still contagious?

In response, Song Tie, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that it is now necessary to start sampling and monitoring all discharged patients to understand their situation.

"This is a matter of our profession and a concern of the people. This virus is a brand new virus. The state ’s diagnosis and treatment plan for new coronary pneumonia has also reached the sixth edition, and different diagnosis and treatment plans and protection plans have been released at different times. This issue is an important scientific issue. In fact, we have been monitoring, so our province has recently issued a notice-to strengthen the follow-up notice of discharged patients with new coronary pneumonia, and now we will start to discharge all patients Perform sampling monitoring. "

Song Tie said, "We all know that if it is a positive patient, it must be the source of infection. In terms of prevention and control, it must be managed according to the source of infection. Therefore, in the early stage, we actually already had some people discharged from the city. After monitoring, We also found that, and after that we were told to take strict centralized medical observations and conduct independent observations to see if his condition has recurred. We invited some local clinicians to conduct consultations. "

"We all know that pneumonia is a long-lasting disease, and it may take two to three months to recover. Some elderly people or some people with poor health, pneumonia recovery is slower. This process is similar to tuberculosis "Some people may develop active tuberculosis, and some may recover. We observe that similar conditions may occur with new coronary pneumonia."

Song Tie also said, "But we are still carrying out scientific evidence-based research and have not yet reached a systematic scientific conclusion. But from our current point of view, a large part of human lung inflammation is in the process of absorption. It cannot be said that it has completely reached clinical recovery. Because of this situation, we judge that there may be intermittent detoxification. We are also strengthening research with Academician Zhong Nanshan's team in this regard, and at the same time, understand our current prevention and control aspects. Whether emergency measures can prevent its spread. "

Song Tie said that today there was news in Guangzhou that 13 patients had "revived" after being discharged, but more than 100 close contacts were not infected. Guangdong Province also has preliminary data. 14% of discharged patients have the phenomenon of "rejuvenation." Central medical observations were conducted on them, and there were no close contacts of second-generation cases.

"From the point of view of the characteristics of microorganisms, humans will produce antibodies after being infected with the virus and will not be transmissive. According to our laboratory observations, it is found that young people will produce antibodies within two weeks, even if the nucleic acid test is positive, the risk is very high. Low, this antibody is protective and the risk of transmission is getting lower and lower. "

Song Tie said, "We also found that some elderly people take a long time to produce antibodies, may continuously detoxify, and may become a source of infection. We strengthen the management of the source of infection in the strictest way. We judge that Fuyang is still because of patients. It is caused by the illness and personal constitution, and the condition is not completely cured and absorbed, and clinical cases have also found that very few cases will be infected. We are also strengthening monitoring and combing, to what extent people will be infected for a long time, how to define the external environment and personnel scope . "

"The national diagnosis and treatment plan has clear regulations for Fuyang and discharge standards. Patients are required to concentrate on medical observation for 14 days after discharge. We will carry out monitoring. If discharged patients detect antibodies and the nucleic acid test is negative, they can go healthier. This requirement has been implemented at the grassroots level. Please rest assured that we can protect everyone strongly. "Song Tie said.

Respiratory experts: The human immune system plays an important role in combating new coronary pneumonia

2020-02-25 10:46:58 Source: Xinhuanet


　　Xinhuanet, Beijing, February 25 (Xiao Han) A few days ago, in the "Diagnosis and Treatment of New Coronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Version 6)" issued by the National Health and Medical Commission, aerosol transmission was listed as one of the possible transmission channels. What exactly is aerosol transmission? How can the public protect themselves from aerosol transmission? … Recently, Xinhuanet launched the special topic "Experts in Fighting the Epidemic". The third issue interviewed Zhou Xin, the leader of respiratory science at the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University, and talked about the epidemic prevention and control with the netizens.



　　Zhou Xin, Leader of Respiratory Science, First People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University

　　Xinhuanet: After the new crown virus enters the human body, why do different people have different symptoms? What systems are known to affect the human body?

　　Zhou Xin: Because the immune response of each person is different, the response of each person after the invasion of the new crown virus is different, and the clinical symptoms displayed are also different. Generally speaking, there are three common symptoms of neocoronavirus infection in the general population: the first is fever, the second is fatigue, and the third is cough. If pneumonia is severe, breathing difficulties will occur. But there are a few people who can have no fever symptoms, just a cough, or no obvious symptoms. It should be pointed out that fever is not specific, and many diseases of the human body may cause fever, but in the current extraordinary period, people with a history of epidemiology should pay great attention and vigilance if they have fever symptoms.

　　We found clinically that in addition to invading the lungs and respiratory tract, the new crown virus also invades other organs, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and digestive tract. The disease caused by the new crown virus is not only the lungs, but also affects the entire body. For organ diseases, autopsies have recently been performed on several cases of neo-coronary pneumonia deaths, and related pathological reports have not been published.

　　Xinhuanet: The new coronavirus is generally susceptible to the population. What type of population is more dangerous?

　　Zhou Xin: Among patients who have been diagnosed, neonatal pneumonia is more common in adults, and children have relatively less incidence. In terms of susceptible populations, the new crown virus is susceptible to everyone. It may be that children have fewer opportunities to be exposed, but they must also be taken seriously.

　　As for which groups of people will develop serious illness, there is no rule at present. In addition to the elderly and people with basic diseases, young healthy people will also develop severe illness, which may have a great connection with the immune response of patients.

　　Xinhuanet: A few days ago, the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of New Coronary Pneumonia <Sixth Edition>" listed aerosol transmission as one of the possible transmission modes of New Crown Pneumonia. What exactly is aerosol transmission? How can the public prevent it?

　　Zhou Xin: Aerosol transmission refers to the transmission of disease caused by inhalation of air containing viruses in a relatively small indoor space. The load of virus in outdoor air is very low. When we walk outdoors, there is generally no possibility of aerosol transmission, and the public need not worry too much.

　　However, if you are indoors, you need to take protective measures. Wearing a mask, more ventilation, less contact, and washing your hands frequently can reduce the probability of aerosol transmission.

　　Xinhuanet: Is there a clear diagnosis or treatment for new coronary pneumonia? Will it recur after cure? Are there sequelae?

　　Zhou Xin: In terms of treatment, currently there are no particularly effective antiviral drugs for new coronary pneumonia. Some of the drugs introduced in the guideline have a certain therapeutic effect on new coronary pneumonia, but the effectiveness of these drugs is only in small sample clinical studies. The conclusions reached are not the conclusions of a rigorous large-scale clinical trial. Exactly which drugs have a clear effect on new coronary pneumonia remains to be further studied.

　　In addition, neonatal pneumonia usually does not recur within six months after clinical cure, because the patient's body produces specific antibodies. At present, there are reports that individual patients have fever after being discharged for a few days, or have been tested positive for nucleic acid. This may be the case that although the patient is asymptomatic, the respiratory virus still exists, and the second nucleic acid test was negative in the hospital. The description is a false negative result. Therefore, patients are currently required to be quarantined for two weeks after discharge, rather than home for quarantine. However, for most patients, after two to three weeks of treatment, the nucleic acid will not become positive after the nucleic acid has turned negative. Mild patients generally do not leave sequelae in their lungs after they are discharged, but critically ill patients will have pulmonary fibrosis after cure. It will take a longer period of treatment and follow-up, and their lung function will be affected.

　　Xinhuanet: There are many reports about new coronary pneumonia, including the importance of autoimmunity. What role does the body's immune system play in curing new coronary pneumonia? Can New Coronary Pneumonia Cure Without Immunity?

　　Zhou Xin: The body's immune system is very important. Virus infection is a violation of the body's immune function, as is the new crown virus. After the virus infection, the body also has immune function, and the virus can kill the virus through the immune function. From this point, mild neo-coronary pneumonia is self-limiting. However, it is not to say that no treatment is needed for mild new coronary pneumonia, and that symptomatic treatment and antiviral treatment are performed for mild patients, that is, intervention with drugs to reduce the symptoms of patients and prevent them from developing into severe or even critical illness, thereby shortening the course and improving the cure rate.

Interpretation of "Urgent Notice on Effectively Doing a Good Job in the Prevention and Control of New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Situation"

Published: 2020-02-26Source : CDC

At present, the situation of epidemic prevention and control in the country is expanding positively. Enterprises and institutions have resumed work and production gradually. However, during the process of resumption and production, some clustered outbreaks have emerged, which has seriously affected the prevention and control of the epidemic and the economic and social development. In order to coordinate the two tasks of epidemic prevention and control and the restoration of economic and social order, the State Council responded to the new group of joint prevention and control mechanisms of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic and issued the "Emergency Notice on Effectively Doing a Good Job in the Prevention and Control of New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Situation.

First, it is required that all regions overcome paralyzed thoughts, war exhaustion and fluke, and fully Recognize the risks of epidemic spread that may arise from the movement of people and the gathering of people after resumption of labor, and compact the territories, departments, units and individuals' responsibilities for epidemic prevention and control. The second is to emphasize that the key to handling the epidemic situation is to implement the "four early" measures of early detection, early reporting, early quarantine, and early treatment.
