In the case of mild and asymptomatic infections people need to be placed in quarantine and will not be admitted to hospital, and if they turn severe or are diagnosed with the common type then usually within 24 hours.
According to the ninth edition of the new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Crown pneumonia, in the case of mild and asymptomatic infected persons, hospitalization is not adopted at present, and focused isolation and observation is the mainstay, while for infected persons with mild symptoms such as malaise and fever, Chinese medicine such as Lianhua Qingdian capsule is used for adjunctive treatment.
If there is a risk of the disease turning into a serious one, or if a person is infected with the common type of the new coronavirus pneumonia, centralized isolation treatment in designated hospitals is generally adopted, and the period from diagnosis or aggravation of the disease to admission to the hospital generally does not exceed 24 hours, and some areas with serious epidemics where medical resources are strained may require a longer period of time, and the specific details will be subject to notification by the relevant local authorities.
