Hidden transmission refers to the lack of clarity about the source of infection and the chain of transmission of infectious diseases, leading to the potential spread of diseases, which is not conducive to the prevention and control of epidemics.
In the process of epidemic prevention and control, one of the most important steps is to discover the source of infection, cut off the transmission pathway, and protect the susceptible population. Concealed transmission refers to the transmission of pathogens for which there is no clear source of infection nor can the specific chain of transmission be judged, which can easily lead to the widespread spread of the epidemic in a short period of time, which is unfavorable for the prevention and control of the epidemic.
It is recommended that during the epidemic, the public should reduce the gathering, do the necessary isolation and protective measures to prevent the pathogen from hidden transmission, if you find yourself in discomfort, you need to immediately consult a doctor to clearly determine whether there is a possibility of infection.
