If there are suspicious symptoms, or have had a history of intensive contact in Hubei, should you isolate at home, or go to a centralized medical observation site isolation? Recently, the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases director, academician Zhong Nanshan of the Chinese Academy of Engineering called for isolation at home, rather than to the temporary isolation point safer. “If the carrier, we must isolate” Talking about the overall situation of the national epidemic, Zhong Nanshan said, the new crown pneumonia is characterized by a typical local outbreak, but in other areas can not talk about a large outbreak, so far there has not been a “super spreader” infected a large area, he said. So far, there has not been a situation where a “super-spreader” has infected a large area, he said, adding that early isolation and early detection from top to bottom play a key role in controlling the spread of the virus. The new crown pneumonia virus has not mutated? Zhong Nanshan said that experts are tracking the mutation of the virus, and it is not known for the time being whether any mutation has occurred in the currently isolated strain, which is under observation. “But no matter what, the work of isolation should still be done in the front, as long as it is a carrier of the virus, it should be isolated.” Regarding the public’s concern about the development of new drugs for the treatment of the new coronavirus, he also said that for the control of the virus, it is about early detection and isolation, and there are not a lot of ways to do it, “Where are the therapeutic antiviral drugs, which come out so quickly?” He also reminded that to carry out clinical trials, to comply with clinical norms, you can speed up the green channel, but you must go through the procedures. Consider setting up a temporary isolation point, do not isolate at home Zhong Nanshan repeatedly emphasized that the current outbreak prevention and control of the key to early detection, early isolation, with the virus once found, we must isolate as soon as possible, this thing must be done as soon as possible. Wuhan to take the “home isolation” approach, Zhong Nanshan reservations. He said that there have been cases of people going home after isolation, resulting in a family of infected cases. Therefore, he called for home isolation, rather than to the temporary isolation point is safer. At present, Guangdong is on standby, is carrying out three province-wide investigation, on the three categories of people, “one without missing”, to prevent and control the spread of the epidemic to the community. Zhong Nanshan fully recognized. He said, all the people, standby, the community divided into a grid, there is a problem can be detected in time, so the joint prevention and control is very effective. He also knows that this work is not easy and tedious to carry out, but it is very useful for timely detection of patients. “With early detection and isolation, even if it’s a super-spreader, I’m not afraid!” Source: Guangzhou Daily
