On April 14, Tencent Medical Dictionary, in collaboration with Nanshan Breathing, invited Zhong Nanshan, head of the high-level expert group of the National Health Commission, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases, to answer questions related to the new pneumonia epidemic. The moderator asked, with the relative stability of the domestic epidemic, but with the persistence of imported cases, what potential dangers will there be for us? With the resumption of work and production, will the imported cases make the domestic epidemic serious? Zhong Nanshan said that after nearly three months of active prevention and control in the previous phase, our country has adopted a very strong containment policy, and now there is basically no or very little domestic transmission. China is in a joint prevention and control situation, the generation of new patients and transmission to a minimum, the problem is now in foreign countries, many countries outside China, including Europe, America, Africa, Southeast Asia, the epidemic is now more serious, patients continue to increase. Wherever these people are communicating, there is a risk that some disease will re-occur. The risk is always there, we can not have no exchange, and now a big gap between domestic and foreign, foreign cases are still increasing, the chances of contacting people infected with the presence of high, he came in (entry) may be contagious after, to avoid the emergence of a mass outbreak. Zhong Nanshan said, the current group prevention and control, we have a sense of self-protection, such as gatherings, meetings in small places, etc., we have clear provisions. According to such provisions, even if there is one or several infections, once early detection, early diagnosis, early isolation, there will not be an outbreak like the first wave, a small number of local infections is inevitable. For the resumption of work, production and school, Zhong Nanshan said that most places have now resumed work and production, and the resumption of school will soon begin. Having a lot of people gathering in the same place, inside the same room, is certainly very alarming. “Coupled with our various aspects of self-protection, my own view, there is little chance of generating a relatively large mutual transmission. In the end, we may face the risk of infection from external input, risk is not the same as reality, if we can do the original set of active prevention and control, keep a distance, usually do not participate in gatherings and other situations, I think it should not produce a relatively large epidemic.” Content source: Surfing News
