[h=1]Coronavirus confusion as six Chinese deported from Samoa[/h] Six Chinese nationals who landed in Samoa on Sunday were immediately deported back to Fiji where they remain in quarantine.

The six were deported for not meeting new quarantine procedures designed to prevent the lethal coronavirus from reaching Samoan shores, the Ministry of Health (M.O.H.) has said.

New mandatory border control policies require incoming passengers to spend at least 14 days in a country free of the virus.

The passengers, from Fujian Province, landed in Apia on Fiji Airways flight FJ255 from Nadi and were detained and screened for illness before being deported to Fiji on the next available flight, JF254, which was delayed by several hours to accommodate them.

The Ministry has refused to disclose whether the six passengers cleared health screening, citing patient confidentiality, but they were placed in quarantine upon arrival in Fiji.

North Korea imposes one-month quarantine on foreign visitors from China

North Korean authorities will now require all foreigners visiting the country from China to stay in quarantine for a month, the Russian embassy in Pyongyang said Tuesday, as the country moves to prevent an outbreak of a new strand of the deadly coronavirus.

In a post on its official Facebook account, the Russian embassy reported that the North Korean foreign ministry had informed them that “all foreigners” — including diplomats and NGO staff — who have recently visited China will be “isolated… under medical supervision for one month.”

Foreigners arriving via air, it continued, will be placed under quarantine at Pyongsong’s Jangsusan hotel, some 30 kilometers north of the DPRK capital.

Those crossing the Sino-DPRK border via train will be held at the Amrokgang Hotel in Sinuiju, while those entering through other points of entry will be housed as “international-class hotels closest to the point of entry.”

Hong Kong 'temporarily' shutting it's borders with mainland China.

5:23 a.m. ET, January 28, 2020

Why Hong Kong's border closures are a big deal

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam said Tuesday that the government will "temporarily" close some of its borders with mainland China and travel permits to mainland Chinese tourists will stop being issued.
Here's why that's a big deal.
Legacy of SARS: Memories of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak of 2002 and 2003 run deep in Hong Kong, where 1,750 people were infected and more than 280 died of the disease.
Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with ideal conditions for diseases to spread -- in tightly packed subway train carriages and people living cheek by jowl in the city's notoriously tiny apartments.
Initial suppression of information about the SARS outbreak after it was discovered in southern China heightened mistrust of the central Chinese government among many in Hong Kong.
So it should therefore come as no surprise that the outbreak of a novel coronavirus in Wuhan in December raised suspicions -- and fears -- in Hong Kong.

[h=1]China coronavirus: Villages build walls and checkpoints to stop outsiders spreading infection [/h] [h=2]Guardhouses and checkpoints are being put up by communities desperate to stop the virus reaching their area.[/h] Tuesday 28 January 2020 09:11, UK

Small villages in China are barricading themselves in against the coronavirus. They are not acting on government orders but taking matters into their own hands.

We came across six in Hebei, the province surrounding Beijing which has seen one death from novel coronavirus.

Others have taken it further: at Xikangzhuang village, in Baoding, they have built entire walls out of brick.

We spoke to one man through a gap in the barrier. "Our village built this," he said. "To stop outsiders coming to our village - to reduce the number of people coming in."

...Langzhong News Agency, Beijing, January 28th, Question: How to treat the newly diagnosed cases "one thousand cases a day" and the concerns behind it?

Langzhong News Agency reporter Li Chun Zhang Su

的 Within 24 hours on January 27, China newly added 1,771 new cases of pneumonia diagnosed with a new coronavirus infection. This is the first time that the data has exceeded 1,000 since the establishment of a daily notification mechanism for the epidemic situation by the National Health Committee of China on the 21st.

为何 Why is digital growth so fast? Does it mean that the outbreak is entering a new outbreak? How to reduce the risk of epidemic spread? How to relieve panic in some people? The CDC and related experts interpreted these concerns one by one.

为何 Why is the diagnosis "a thousand cases a day"? Relatively short doubling time

When connecting with CCTV reporters on the evening of the 27th, Feng Zijian, deputy director of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that studies have shown that the human-to-human transmission capacity of the new coronavirus corresponds to SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), but its 6 to 7 The doubling time of days is shorter than the SARS time of about 9 days. At the same time, the passage time of the new coronavirus is relatively short, which has also contributed to the rapid growth of currently confirmed cases.
The fever clinic in Shanghai is safe and orderly. <a target='_blank' href='http://www.chinanews.com/'> China News Agency </a> Reporter Yin Liqin

的 Increased detection capacity is also responsible for the increase in confirmed cases. According to the information of the Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Commission on the 28th, Wuhan City urgently dispatched 40,000 kits for the designated testing institutions in the city, and will soon relocate another 60,000 copies and issue 12,500 new types of coronavirus nucleic acid detection kits. Except for the provincial and municipal disease control centers, eight hospitals have started to conduct pathogenic testing from January 23, and the single-day sample detection capacity has been increased from 200 in the early stage of the epidemic to nearly 2,000 daily.

In a press conference on the 28th of the National Health and Health Committee, Li Xingwang, chief expert of the Infectious Diseases Diagnosis and Research Center of Beijing Ditan Hospital, said that there have been asymptomatic infections or mild patients with fever that is not obvious and occasional dry cough and fatigue. "These patients were also discovered after we actively searched and increased our testing capabilities."

Will future outbreaks enter a new outbreak? Feng Zijian said that it is indeed very difficult to predict the epidemic trend now. It is necessary to continue to strengthen prevention and control measures, actively strengthen patient admission, diagnosis, and treatment in areas with high incidence of epidemics, strengthen the timely detection of cases in other areas, and conduct effective tracking and medical observation of close contacts in a timely manner. "As long as we can do this and the core measures are put in place, I believe the epidemic will be brought under control."

Internet transmission of 100,000 infected people? Expert: "First heard"

"From the data we currently report, I heard the data of 100,000 patients you said for the first time." At the press conference on the 28th, Li Xingwang said in response to questions from reporters that the data is currently updated in real time every day, truthfully Announced nationally and globally. Over time, patient discharge data may gradually increase.

兴 Li Xingwang said that at present, mild patients gradually recover in about one week, and patients with severe symptoms may take two weeks or even longer. The patient's clinical symptoms were basically relieved and his temperature was normal. He was discharged after two negative nucleic acid tests. "We want to make sure these patients are not contagious when they are discharged."

In addition, according to Jiao Yahui, deputy director of the Medical, Health and Medical Administration of the National Health and Health Commission, the same day, 30 medical teams with a total of 4,130 people have arrived in Hubei to start work. The composition of medical teams covers almost all the resources and strengths of the country. On the 28th, about 1,800 people from 13 medical teams will arrive in Wuhan. As of that night, nearly 6,000 medical teams from all over the country will support the epidemic prevention work in Hubei.

Some experts from the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a few days ago that the current epidemic situation in Wuhan is characterized by a relatively high regional outbreak. Due to the large passenger flow and large number of people in Wuhan ’s main traffic routes, if the epidemic situation in Wuhan is not effectively controlled, the epidemic will spread further The risks remain. The epidemic nationwide is still in the early stages of the epidemic, and it is also a critical period for epidemic prevention and control. More active measures should be taken to control the spread of the epidemic.

How to relieve panic? Correctly guide awareness of viruses

Shan Guangliang, professor of the Department of Epidemiology and Health Statistics, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said in an interview with the media that the statement that "new coronavirus is milder than SARS virus" may be misleading and even weaken the public's perception of new corona The importance of virus infection prevention has caused some people to become lax and flustered.

On the other hand, panic psychology is also not desirable, and it may cause more harm than the epidemic itself. Facing the development of the epidemic and taking good personal protection is one of the important things that Chinese medical experts have done their best to "drum" and "call".

冬 Jin Dongyan, from the School of Biomedicine, The University of Hong Kong, pointed out in an interview that patients with mild and mild illnesses cannot flock to large hospitals. It is imperative to deal with the emotions of people within the "closed city" and guide them to understand diseases and viruses correctly.

A set of data provided by Jiao Yahui can also be regarded as a "heart-strengthening agent" for suppressing panic. The Vulcan Mountain Hospital and Raytheon Mountain Hospital, which are under urgent construction, are planned to have a total of 2,000 to 2,300 beds. Wuhan City has urgently requisitioned 14 hospitals and vacated more than 6,000 beds. These beds can treat the current suspected and confirmed cases, including those with fever to wait for investigation. "From the current situation, the problems of difficulty in seeing a doctor and hospitalization have been greatly alleviated." (End)

More than 4 million netizens watched the live broadcast.


As for rumors that children are not easily infected, Li Wei said that the new type of coronavirus is theoretically generally susceptible to people. Fewer children are found, probably because the symptoms are not typical or if the symptoms are not too severe. According to our current data, children over 5 years of age are infected, but do not show obvious symptoms. Prevention and control of children must be as important as those of adults. As far as child prevention and control is concerned, the easiest and most effective way is to wear a mask and wash your hands frequently.


Regarding netizens' concern about whether to wear N95 masks to isolate viruses, Li Wei said that daily protection does not necessarily require wearing N95 masks, and general surgical masks are also effective. However, if you want to go to a place with a large amount of virus, such as sending a hot clinic, it is recommended to wear a N95 mask conditionally. In addition, hand hygiene must be emphasized. Many people think that wearing a mask is everything. Actually not. The virus is transmitted by droplets in the environment, so in public environments, such as door handles, stair handrails, the surface of some objects may be contaminated by droplets. After touching these places, touch the face and nose, or give it to children. Rubbing your face may cause infections.


Is there a specific medicine for the new type of coronavirus pneumonia? Li Wei said that currently the National Health Commission issued the "3rd Edition Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of New Coronavirus Infected Pneumonia" recommending lopinavir and ritonavir as treatment The drug is recommended to be used in severe cases in emergency situations. There is also abidol hydrochloride, which can prevent the virus from fusing with human cell membranes and prevent cell lesions. It also has a certain effect on SARS, but more research is needed to find out how it works.


"We need to pay attention to the epidemic situation, but we don't have to panic." Professor Li Wei said that during the Spring Festival holiday, we still have to minimize the need to visit relatives and friends, pay attention to indoor ventilation, wash hands, wear masks, and avoid crowded places. She also clarified rumors that "drinking alcohol and steaming white vinegar can prevent new crown pneumonia virus infection." She responded that this was baseless and could not achieve the effects of prevention and disinfection.


Li Wei comes from Department of Infectious Diseases, Department of Infectious Diseases, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He is the deputy chief physician and the first-line medical worker in the fight against new pneumonia.
