On January 24, the first batch of medical teams sent from Shanghai and Guangdong rushed to Wuhan. So far, 30 medical teams with a total of 4,130 people have arrived in Hubei to start work. The composition of the medical team is respiratory, infected, severe, doctors, nurses, local, military, western and Chinese medicine. It can be said that the composition of the medical team covers almost all the resources of the country and strength.
Today, about 1,800 people from 13 medical teams will be able to reach Wuhan. As of this evening, nearly 6,000 medical teams from all over the country will support the epidemic prevention work in Hubei.
About 100,000 confirmed cases were transmitted online?
——Explicit rumors from experts: I have not heard that the data is updated in real time every day
Li Xingwang, Chief Expert of Infectious Disease Diagnosis and Research Center of Beijing Ditan Hospital:
As far as our current report data is concerned, for the first time, I have heard the data of 100,000 patients you said. At present, our data is updated in real time every day, and it is truthfully announced to the whole country and the world. The problem of infectivity during the incubation period, we still lack more knowledge about new coronavirus pneumonia, and further research is needed. However, in terms of the general rules of respiratory infectious diseases, the incubation period is at the end, that is, patients have a certain infectivity when they are quickly onset. In the early stage, according to the general laws of infectious diseases, they should not be contagious.

Why are so few discharged patients diagnosed?
——There are strict discharge standards, and the number of discharges will continue to increase in the future.
Li Xingwang, Chief Expert of Infectious Disease Diagnosis and Research Center of Beijing Ditan Hospital:
The current outbreak of epidemic cases has increased significantly. It should be the most recent period. Patients are hospitalized for treatment and recovery. At present, patients with mild illness will gradually recover in about a week. Patients with severe illness may take 2 weeks or more. Our discharge standards are set in this way. The clinical symptoms of the patients are basically relieved, the temperature is normal, and then two negative nucleic acid tests are performed before they are discharged. We must ensure that these patients are not infectious when discharged. This has caused the phenomenon that can be seen at present, and as time goes by, the discharge data of patients may gradually increase.
What are the new symptoms of a recently diagnosed patient?
——Some patients have no pneumonia, only mild fever and occasional dry cough
Li Xingwang, Chief Expert of Infectious Disease Diagnosis and Research Center of Beijing Ditan Hospital:
At present, early patients have seen more clinical manifestations mainly with fever, fatigue, and dry cough, and some severe patients may have dyspnea or even respiratory failure, and the original underlying disease will be aggravated. With the recent increase in mild cases, some patients do not show pneumonia, only mild fever or occasional dry cough, which are also some of the new features we have seen so far.

Wuhan suspected case can not be hospitalized?
——Difficulty of seeing a doctor and hospitalization has been greatly relieved
Jiao Yahui, deputy director of the State Administration of Health and Medical Care Administration:
Wuhan is now urgently working on the construction of two hospitals, one called Vulcan Mountain Hospital and the other called Lei Shenshan Hospital. Together, the two hospitals are planned to have 2000-2300 beds. Vulcan Hill Hospital is expected to be completed on February 2 and will be fully taken over by the military. The Thunder Mountain Hospital is scheduled to be completed on February 5. Wuhan City urgently requisitioned the new campus of Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, including the East Hospital District of Wuhan University People's Hospital. Together with 14 hospitals, it was also able to vacate about 6,000 beds. There are more than 10,000 beds, and these more than 10,000 beds can treat the current suspected and confirmed cases, including those with fever and waiting for investigation.
Nearly 6,000 medical staff members were dispatched across the country. Even after these beds were opened, they could be put into medical treatment of patients.
The working group in front of us has to go to the hospital's fever clinic and designated hospitals every day to check the progress. From the current situation, the problems of difficulty in seeing a doctor and hospitalization have been greatly alleviated.
What to do to prevent and control the shortage of supplies?
——Protective clothing still has certain difficulties, and it is intensifying its dispatch
Operation and Coordination Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
At present is the Spring Festival holiday period, the contradiction between supply and demand of prevention and control materials is more prominent. During this period, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has taken the following four measures:
The first is to mobilize the national industrial information system to overcome difficulties, especially production enterprises, to do everything possible to resume production.
The second is to establish a dispatch system for key prevention and control materials and a corresponding information platform.
The third is to make good use of the advantages of the national reserve system for prevention and control of materials, and to ensure the reserves for the purchase of prevention and control of materials.
The fourth is to do everything possible to meet the needs of Wuhan's prevention and control materials. From the current point of view, there are still some difficulties in protective clothing, and we are stepping up dispatch to meet the needs of Wuhan as much as possible.

Is there a doctor in Wuhan facing mental breakdown?
——National Health Commission: Psychologists have been arranged
Jiao Yahui, deputy director of the State Administration of Health and Medical Care Administration:
At present, medical staff have a lot of work pressure, not only the intensity of work, but also the psychological pressure. Doctors who wear N95 masks for a long time will feel hypoxia, and they will not be able to go home and stay away from their families, which brings psychological pressure from all aspects.
When we face a new infectious disease and have not fully grasped its laws, we may have some unknown psychological pressure. On the one hand, we have arranged psychologists to conduct counseling, especially training in the prevention and control of hospitals and personal protection. After training, if medical staff have a good understanding and expectations, they will also play a positive role in alleviating psychological pressure. Role.
Local governments are now urgently requisitioning nearby hotels to provide medical staff to rest. In this emergency state, our working and living conditions may be incomparable at peacetime, but from the information we know, their living and working security can be basically satisfied at present.
How to protect from "contact transmission"?
-Rubbing your eyes may cause infection. Wash your hands with a mask.
Li Xingwang, Chief Expert of Infectious Disease Diagnosis and Research Center of Beijing Ditan Hospital:
To prevent this disease, it can be seen from its characteristics that more symptoms are cough, and respiratory infections are spread through close-up droplets. We must wear masks to minimize close contact. At present, the so-called close It is mainly a distance of 1-2 meters or 1.5 meters, which may cause transmission and need to be well protected.
This disease may spread through contact, which means that if your hands are not contaminated with the virus, rubbing your eyes may cause infections, so wearing a mask and washing your hands frequently will also help reduce transmission and reduce the risk of personal infection. of.

How to prevent and treat asymptomatic patients?
-Asymptomatic infection makes prevention and control difficult and complicated
Li Xingwang, Chief Expert of Infectious Disease Diagnosis and Research Center of Beijing Ditan Hospital:
We have observed that there may be asymptomatic infections. Although there are no symptoms, the nucleic acid test is positive. There are also some patients with such symptoms, such as fever is not obvious, occasional dry cough or fatigue, these patients are also found after we actively search and increase the detection ability. Such patients, from the perspective of the law of infectious diseases, also have a certain spreading power, which brings certain difficulties and complexity to our prevention and control work.
Now more asymptomatic infections are found among close contacts. These close contacts are now undergoing medical observation according to current requirements. They may not go to public places for free activities, or more. Isolation at home ensures that we have control over the source of infection.
