There is an updated version for the diagnosis of neocoronavirus pneumonia, which is currently the “Diagnostic and Treatment Program for Neocoronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Ninth Edition)”.
However, the diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of neocoronavirus pneumonia in the latest version have not been changed, and the diagnostic criteria are the same as those in the “Diagnostic and Treatment Program for Neocoronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Implementation of the Eighth Revised Edition)”.
The new version of the Diagnostic and Treatment Plan mainly optimizes the procedures for case detection and reporting, proposes the strategy of classifying cases for admission and treatment, adjusts the antiviral, immunization and anticoagulation treatments based on the evidence of clinical studies, revises the contents of Chinese medicine treatment, and adjusts the criteria for discharge and release from quarantine, as well as the contents of post-discharge management.
The NHSC and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SATCM) revised the relevant contents of the previous edition to form the “New Coronavirus Pneumonia Diagnostic and Treatment Program (Trial Ninth Edition)”, which is mainly designed to respond to the new changes in the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic and to further standardize the diagnostic and treatment of the new coronavirus pneumonia in a scientific and proper manner.
The new changes in the current new coronavirus epidemic mainly include that the omicron strain has replaced the delta strain as the main prevalent strain, the clinical manifestations of patients with the new coronavirus pneumonia have shown new characteristics, and new drugs for the treatment of the new coronavirus pneumonia have been listed on the market, which has further enriched the experience of treatment and means of treatment, and so on.
Paying attention to the information about the epidemic released through regular channels, participating in every nucleic acid test as required, and receiving the new coronavirus vaccine as soon as possible when conditions permit are the personal contributions that every citizen can make to the prevention and control of the epidemic.
Tip: The terms “new coronavirus pneumonia” and “new coronavirus pneumonia” mentioned in this article were renamed to “new coronavirus infection” on December 26, 2022, as announced by the National Health Commission.
