"The current data show, MERS since it was discovered, worldwide there are about 1143 cases, death of more than 400, you figure about 37% mortality." Zhong Nanshan said that from the current situation, we can not say human transmission no human possibility, there are still a limited human transmission. "(Korea Fuyue patients) back after Korea is indeed transmitted to others, but this is the first generation that can not be re-transmission of the second generation of people, there is no evidence."
Zhong Nanshan said, with a Korean man traveling on the same flight or car people are now being isolated and closely monitored. All in Huizhou, Guangzhou, which are in contact with the patient have to do isolation, some people are Guangzhou No.8 People's Hospital for observation. "Until now have not heard new progress is not seen in the contacts inside a significant fever, but pay close attention, because it takes time to observe the course of the disease, probably two weeks."
As to whether the case will be transferred to the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Zhong Nanshan said that the consultation is still to decide according to the progression of the patient. "If the virus does not change much, no second generation successor, it should be relatively easy to control." He believes that this patient was found faster, prevention is better vigilance high regard. But it can not be ignored is that the patient is active said they come from the Middle East respiratory syndrome family, "This is very big help to us."
Forum, as well as business executives question, said: "MERS virus in Arab and other Middle Eastern countries have had cases heard in these countries have an air purifier that can kill the virus, whether there is a possibility that it?" In this regard Zhong Nanshan responded by saying: "It has two premises, one patient call MERS can diffuse out of something for a long time in the room, and then to others, this has not been well documented, because it determines whether to air disinfection. "
"The second premise is that air purifiers can not eliminate the virus, that there is no direct information." Zhong Nanshan said that from general considerations, ultraviolet disinfection method should be able to eliminate the virus. "But until now, have not heard the news. Gene analysis of Korea did not show the virus mutation, not to human transmission of the third generation, fourth generation, but in this case, air purifiers can play a big role , still need to be considered.
