Wenhong Zhang: No need to worry about asymptomatic infected people if they don’t develop this condition within 2-4 weeks

Many people are worried that after Wuhan is “unsealed”, some asymptomatic infected people will spread the virus to other regions. In response, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infection at Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University, said, “Now in China, whether it’s imported cases from outside the country or local cases in China, I personally feel that China has already prepared itself accordingly.” “Asymptomatic patients will never exist on purpose; all asymptomatic patients must exist at the same time as symptomatic patients.” “People can wait and see, and if there is no significant increase in confirmed cases in China in the next 2-4 weeks, asymptomatic infected people and all these things, people can stop thinking about it. People will also ask if there are patients who become chronic carriers of the virus, and there is no evidence that this is a chronic viral infection.” For how to do a good job of prevention and control, Zhang Wenhong believes that: all prevention and control measures do not exist in isolation, not to say that the world to everyone to send a mask can be solved, all countries need to consider measures according to their own situation. Now how many patients with the test necessary to do the test, how to provide adequate medical resources, what should be done, etc., which should be based on each country’s own situation to see, put forward a realistic program.
