In extraordinary times, rumors are also a "virus"

On January 26, an "announcement" appeared on the WeChat and circle of friends of many Shaoguan people. After verification, the information was false. At present, the person who posted the rumor has been punished by the police for 10 days in administrative detention.

It is no coincidence. A woman in Shanwei disseminates false information, causing adverse social effects; Lu Fengyi's man posted in a WeChat group chat that "more than 30 people have returned from Wuhan, and his family was buying antipyretics recently", which caused social panic and both were legally punished Administrative detention.


The coming of the virus requires the whole society to unite as one and strive to resist disasters, but there are always discordant notes, and one of them is that all kinds of irresponsible rumors are flying around. Nandu Big Data Research Institute analyzed the statistics of the rumor verification information on January 18-26 on the "Tencent News Reality Platform" and found that eating pepper, strawberry, vitamin C, dripping small sesame oil in the nostrils, smoking, drinking high alcohol, etc. The "All Things Pneumonia" series of rumors that can prevent and treat pneumonia has the largest number, accounting for more than 30%; the number of rumors of "City Closure and Road Closure" in each city version accounts for nearly 17%. In addition, rumors such as "garlic water can cure coronavirus pneumonia" and other rumors are also filled with WeChat circle of friends. To stabilize the social order, it is very unfavorable to deal with the virus together.

Now is at a critical moment in the fight against the virus. Everyone is a participant and everyone is a "fighter." Everyone should contribute to the fight against the virus rather than add chaos to society. And rumors confuse the audiovisual, cover up the truth, mislead people's perception, cause social panic and even commotion, it is also a "virus".

Of course, rumors abound during extraordinary times, reflecting the asymmetry of medical information on the epidemic. Therefore, on the one hand, relevant departments should increase the release of information, publish facts and truths through multiple channels, and not report or report the epidemic situation, and resolutely crack down on intentionally concealing the truth or reporting the situation. On the other hand, for rumors, timely rumors should be removed through official online channels and regular media such as television and radio, so that the rumors will be revealed and disappeared as soon as they emerge. At the same time, the public security department must increase the collection and screening of rumors, and punish the producers and disseminators of rumors that seriously disrupt the social order in accordance with the law, so that rumors are not allowed to come out of the cage.

Zhong Nanshan: When will the epidemic reach its peak? Mortality will definitely be lowered again. To deal with the epidemic, we must seize these two important points!
Domestic Finance January 28 21:15 e Company official micro

"When the epidemic reaches its peak, it is difficult to estimate with absolute certainty, but I think it should reach its peak in a week or ten days, and it will not increase on a large scale."

Zhong Nanshan's latest nine interpretations

According to an authoritative interview with Xinhua News Agency, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, made the latest research and judgment on new viral pneumonia, and talked about many topics that everyone is most concerned about. The following is the latest research and judgment of Academician Zhong Nanshan:

First, 10 to 14 days is a good period of isolation and observation. The incubation period has passed, and the disease is treated in time. If there is no disease, there will be no disease. No major infection will occur due to the return of the Spring Festival.

Twenty-two, scientists are looking for a new coronavirus intermediate reservoir, and the new coronavirus of 2019 was first discovered in a bat, but the intermediate reservoir has not yet been identified.

In addition to experts, the hospital should also be equipped with experts in critical illness. Infectious specialists alone are not enough. Only with the joint efforts of intensive care specialists can it be possible to better rescue patients.

24. Fever is still a typical symptom of new coronavirus infection.

25. When the epidemic situation reaches its peak, it is difficult to estimate with absolute certainty. However, I think it should reach its peak in a week or ten days, and it will not increase on a large scale.

26. I said before the Spring Festival, please do n’t run around now. Now I still emphasize that everyone should not travel, especially in Wuhan. This is not only a personal matter, but also a matter for the whole society.

7. So far, there is not a completely targeted drug, but scientific and medical workers have already thought about many solutions. Coupled with the current increase in life support technology, the mortality rate will definitely decrease again. .

VIII. To deal with the epidemic, we must seize two key points. One is early detection and the other is early isolation. These two are the most primitive and effective methods.

29. Wuhan was originally a hero city. With the support of the whole country and everyone, Wuhan is sure to pass.

Those fake "said Zhong Nanshan"

In an extraordinary period, as long as you turn on your mobile phone, turn on your computer, and overwhelm it, all is "Zhong Nanshan said." These rumors confuse audio and video on various online platforms and cause panic. Some are so-called "secret recipes": smoking and drinking can prevent viral infections, isatis root + fumigation can prevent the new type of coronavirus pneumonia; some are related to public safety: Beijing high-speed "only out and not enter", here and there "capped the city"; Public figure: Zhong Nanshan is infected with the virus, Bai Yansong will talk to Zhong Nanshan and so on.

People's understanding of Academician Zhong Nanshan originated from SARS in 2003. When the SARS epidemic spread, 17 years ago, Academician Zhong Nanshan, who was already in his 60s, was at a critical juncture, and he stepped forward and chose to be on the front line of fighting SARS. He fought nearly 200 days and nights with medical staff. Today, a SARS treatment plan was developed and won. All patients were sent out of the hospital, with a cure rate of over 93%, which made outstanding contributions to epidemic control and treatment.

Xi Jinping: I believe we will defeat this epidemic!

President Xi Jinping met with World Health Organization Director-General Tan Desai in the Great Hall of the People on January 28.

Xi Jinping said that the Chinese people are currently engaged in a serious struggle against the outbreak of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus. People's lives and physical health are always the first priority, and prevention and control of epidemics is the most important task at present. I have been directing and deploying personally. I believe that as long as we strengthen our confidence, help each other, scientific control, and precise policy, we will definitely overcome this epidemic.

Tan Tansai said that China released information transparently, identified pathogens in a record short time, and proactively shared relevant viral gene sequences with the World Health Organization and other countries. In the face of the epidemic, the Chinese government has demonstrated firm political determination and adopted timely and powerful measures to admire the world. I believe that the measures taken by China will effectively control and eventually overcome the epidemic.

为何 Why has the number of confirmed cases surged in one day? Wuhan Municipal Health Committee

0 On January 27th, from 02:00 to 24:00, Hubei Province newly added 1,291 confirmed cases, of which 892 were newly added in Wuhan. This sudden high figure has attracted much public attention. On January 28, the Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Commission released information to explain this.

Since January 24, the city's primary medical and health institutions have received a total of 19,002 person-times, screened 4,441 fever patients, and promptly treated or instructed home observation and isolation of 1,460 people.

Outbreak hotspots, early isolation of suspected patients

On January 20, Wuhan set up fever clinics in 61 hospitals, implemented 24-hour consultations, and announced the status of fever clinics to make it easier for citizens to seek medical treatment. Hot diagnosis of each case is based on the diagnostic criteria of "Pneumonitis Diagnosis and Treatment Scheme for New Coronavirus Infection (Trial Version 3)" and "Diagnosis and Treatment Scheme for Pneumonitis in New Coronavirus Infection (Trial Version 4)". Carry out outpatient observation, hospital isolation treatment or transfer to primary medical institutions for isolation observation. From January 22nd to 27th, a total of 75,221 fever patients were visited in the city's fever clinics, and 3,883 were observed in the outpatient clinic.

直 Direct online reporting

On January 21, the state incorporated pneumonitis infected with new coronavirus into the management of Class B infectious diseases and Class A, and implemented direct network reporting. Inspection, waiting for the test results to be confirmed or ruled out, and then reported by the municipal health administrative department, resulting in incomplete grasp of the epidemic situation, not timely announcement and other issues. Beginning on January 22, medical institutions in Wuhan directly reported through the Internet, and case reports were timely, comprehensive, and accurate. Since January 22, the city's network has reported a total of 13,119 daily cases and 2,588 new cases per day. On January 27, the city has reported 1,590 confirmed cases.

Speed ​​up testing and make a clear diagnosis early

In order to achieve early diagnosis and early treatment, Wuhan has established a testing management network of sample collection, transfer, testing, and reporting of results, jointly established by two professional testing institutions and other eligible hospitals. In order to ensure the supply of reagents, 40,000 kits were urgently dispatched to the designated testing institutions in the city, and another 60,000 copies will be rescheduled to issue 12,500 new types of coronavirus nucleic acid test kits. In addition to the provincial and municipal disease control centers, eight hospitals, including Tongji Hospital, Union Hospital, Provincial People's Hospital, Wuhan University Central South Hospital, No. 1 Hospital, City Center Hospital, No. 3 Hospital, and Pulmonary Hospital, have been in operation since January 23. Etiological testing was carried out. From January 23 to 27, a total of 4,086 samples have been tested, of which 712 were positive. The single-day sample detection capacity has been increased from 200 in the early days of the epidemic to nearly 2,000 daily, which has increased the speed of confirmed cases in designated hospitals in Wuhan.

Keep your child healthy and safe for the New Year: experts explain the prevention and control of new coronavirus infection in newborns and children
January 28, 2020 22:09 source: Xinhuanet

[Print this draft]

Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, January 28th, title: Keeping Children Healthy and Safe for the New Year: Experts Explain Newborn and Children's New Coronavirus Infection Prevention and Control

Xinhua News Agency reporters Li Changzheng and Hu Yan

As 9-month-old babies were diagnosed with the new coronavirus, childhood cases began to receive widespread attention. Although the number of children infected with the new coronavirus is relatively small, children must be protected. During an interview with Wuhan Tongji Hospital, the reporter learned that recently the Pediatrics (Hubei Children's Medical Center) of the hospital jointly wrote "Guidelines for the Management of Newborns During the Epidemic of Pneumonia Infected with New Coronavirus (First Edition)" and "Children's Family Protection Measures" ", The next step is to release" Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Children's New Coronavirus Infection "and" Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Children's New Coronavirus Infection ". At the same time, a" Online Fever Diagnosis Children's Zone "will be opened for free online consultation to provide diagnosis and consultation services for parents.

哪里 Where do children's transmission routes come from?

玲 Professor Chen Ling, director of the neonatal department of Wuhan Tongji Hospital, told reporters that the main route of transmission of childhood infections is droplets and contact. Conjunctival transmission has also been reported, and protection in this regard should also be strengthened.

Given the characteristics of physiological anatomy and low autoimmune function, children are extremely vulnerable to respiratory infections, especially young children, and the younger they are, the less likely they are to be found. Once they develop disease, they progress faster. The incubation period is as short as 1 day, and the longest period is 14 days.

The new type of coronavirus infection is similar to the common cold: fever, weakness of the limbs, dry cough, there are also cases of insignificant symptoms, or other system symptoms such as the digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, ophthalmic symptoms, etc. In particular, the symptoms of newborns, infants and young children may be more atypical. Once found, the course of the disease progresses rapidly or the observation period has been missed.

The biggest difference between a new coronavirus infection and a common cold is diarrhea and difficulty in breathing. Such as: breathing too fast or too slow, breathing too deep or too shallow, infants or newborns show open mouth breathing, wheezing, moaning, nostril one-in-one, nodded breathing, and even the lips, complexion, breathing, three concave signs and so on. If the above symptoms appear, you should see a doctor immediately.

What newborns need to be tested for new coronavirus infections?

Chen Ling said that no cases of neonatal infection have been found. The possible ways of neonatal coronavirus infection are: vertical transmission from mother to infant, close contact transmission and droplet transmission, hospital-acquired infection, but whether the new coronavirus passes vertically through the placenta. Transmission or transmission through breastfeeding after birth is unknown.

Therefore, newborn screening is required for those who meet one of the following: one is a confirmed or highly suspected infection of a pregnant woman; the second is a close contact of a pregnant woman with a confirmed or highly suspected infection; and Highly suspected infected.

At the same time, breastfeeding should pay attention to washing hands frequently and pay attention to local hygiene. Breastfeeding is not recommended for pregnant women who are suspected of being infected and those who have not recovered. For mothers diagnosed with a new type of coronavirus infection, newborns were isolated and observed immediately for two weeks after the birth of the virus without breastfeeding.

如何 How can parents help protect children?

The first is the timely and correct isolation: parents who have suspected cases at home and have no conditions to separate from their children, try to ensure that the rooms are separated. Parents suspected of infection should avoid contact with children and wear appropriate masks at home. Children should also wear appropriate masks.

The second is family daily protection: small babies or newborns who cannot adapt to wearing masks should be given special protection. Parents should actively wear masks. When they cough or sneeze, they should completely cover their nose and nose, and immediately use the used paper towels. Throw into a closed bin.

The third is to strictly regulate hand washing: Urge children to wash their hands frequently, wash their faces frequently, and not touch. Illness comes from the mouth, avoid young children to eat their hands, do not dig their nostrils, and do not rub their eyes with their hands. Tell children not to touch the surface of objects in public areas, and do not touch them at home. Wash your hands before eating, after urination, and after touching unclean objects.

The fourth is to strengthen the ventilation of the room: families with conditions turn on the air purifier regularly for ultraviolet disinfection. Or alternately ventilate each room 2 or 3 times a day, and open the window for 30 minutes to 1 hour each time. When the room is ventilated, move the child to another room and keep warm to prevent the child from getting cold during ventilation.

Fifth, household cleaning and disinfection: keep the home environment clean and tidy. Conditional households can use alcohol disinfection to wipe the surface of the object once a day. If the suspected parents do not take good precautions to sneeze or cough at home, they should The area is resanitized. Do not play or watch the mobile phones frequently used by parents. Electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets and children's toys need to be cleaned and disinfected daily.

26. Appropriate activities and rest: Children should not watch TV or play electronic products for a long time while resting at home, and arrange exercise or activities appropriately. School-age children should not interfere with their studies. They can also participate in household cleaning work with parents while completing school work. Parents of infants and young children can perform passive limb exercises. All children resting at home should rest on time to ensure adequate sleep.

What should I do if the child comes into contact with the suspected patient?

Chen Ling said that if a child comes into contact with a suspected patient, parents must not hide it, and do not choose to run away because of fear. You must take the initiative to isolate and observe at home for 14 days. You can release the asymptomatic symptom but try not to go out. Children's condition changes rapidly, and once they have symptoms, they need to go to the nearest department of pediatrics for a fever clinic.

"Finally remind parents to protect their children from common diseases such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, common cold, constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. while reducing their daily protection. Risk. "Chen Ling said.

In the current situation, parents should first adjust their mentality. For the current medical level, we have the confidence to overcome the illness, do not have to worry too much, and avoid passing on the emotional tension to the children and causing them a psychological burden. Adults and children arrange daily routines, face them easily, and tide over difficulties together.

Experts: AIDS-related drugs are only effective in patients with early neo-coronary pneumonia
Professor Xu Jianqing explained the action mechanism of spray to reporters. Photo by Chen Jing

Langzhong Xinhaihai, January 28 (Reporter Chen Jing) Recently, anti-AIDS drugs have effectively attracted widespread attention in the society for the treatment of new pneumonia. Professor Lu Hongzhou, an infectious disease expert and secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center affiliated to Fudan University, bluntly stated in the interview on the 28th that the current limited data show that related AIDS drugs are effective for early patients with new coronary pneumonia; and with the patient's condition getting worse, patients with advanced new coronary pneumonia With related drugs, the effect is not obvious.

According to reports, coronaviruses and HIV viruses are RNA viruses, and virus replication is common. Studies have found that drugs for AIDS also have a certain therapeutic effect on coronavirus. While being safe and reliable, the AIDS drug has expanded its indications and passed ethical review, which can be used to treat new coronary pneumonia.

The expert Lu Hongzhou said that after entering the designated hospital, doctors will give individualized treatment while ensuring safety while discussing with the experts according to the progress of the patient's disease course.

The successful development of occupational protective antiviral sprays that can be used in the new coronary pneumonia emergency ward can be described as exciting. The reporter interviewed Xu Jianqing, director of the Institute of Infectious Diseases. Xu Jianqing revealed that six years ago, his research team started drug development for respiratory viruses. He said that all respiratory virus infections and exacerbations have common pathogenic processes: inflammation caused by virus replication and damage to respiratory epithelial mucosa. The traditional drugs only inhibit virus replication.

The antiviral spray just developed has two active ingredients: Class I interferon and mucosal repair factor, which can inhibit virus replication, inhibit inflammation and mucosal repair, respectively. Xu Jianqing told reporters that Class I interferons can activate the body's ability to resist disease.


Although the antiviral spray is currently only used for occupational protection of new coronary pneumonia emergency wards, Xu Jianqing hopes that the spray will become a routine drug for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases in the future.

Prophylactic vaccines are the key to extinguishing the large-scale epidemic of major infectious diseases. On the same day, the reporter learned from Dongfang Hospital affiliated to Tongji University that the research and development of a new coronavirus mRNA vaccine has been officially initiated.

According to reports, the new generation of mRNA vaccine technology that has emerged in recent years has the advantages of short development and production cycles, and can realize the timely production and application of vaccines. Li Hangwen, a part-time PI of the Translational Medicine Platform of Dongfang Hospital, said that using relevant platform technology, rapid synthesis of relevant mRNAs targeting key targets of this new type of coronavirus and preparation of preparations, through relevant experiments, screening and verification of effective antigens. According to reports, on this basis, large-scale preventive 2019-nCoV vaccine sample production and preparation will be completed within 40 days.

It is reported that after the preparation of the vaccine samples is completed, it will be sent to the designated institution of the country to carry out the anti-new coronavirus activity test. After completing the necessary approval, it can be promoted to the clinic as soon as possible. (Finish)

[h=3]Text record[/h]
Provincial Government Deputy Secretary-General Liu Zhongchu:
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the sixth press conference held by the Hubei Provincial New Coronavirus Infected Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters. Present at the press conference were Mr. Ma Guoqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee, Mr. Yang Yunyan, Deputy Governor of the People's Government of Hubei Province, Mr. Hu Ke, Expert of the Hubei Provincial Medical Treatment Team and Professor of Respiratory Medicine of Hubei Provincial People's Hospital. First, we asked Comrade Ma Guoqiang to introduce the situation of epidemic prevention and control in Wuhan.
Ma Guoqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Committee:
Good evening, journalists and friends ! Since the outbreak of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to it. General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally questioned and made important instructions many times. He presided over the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee on the first day of the New Year, and listened to the report, and made important requirements for the prevention and control of the epidemic. Premier Li Keqiang convened an executive meeting of the State Council to study and deploy prevention and control work. Today, he came to the front line of Wuhan prevention and control to care and guide our city's epidemic prevention and control work. Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chunlan sat in Wuhan personally to guide and promote the epidemic prevention and control work. This fully demonstrates that the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core attaches great importance to this epidemic and cordial care for Wuhan, Hubei, and has further strengthened our confidence and determination to win the battle against epidemic prevention and control.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, people across the country, including the military, localities, and all sectors of society, have been concerned about the progress of the epidemic prevention and control, and actively supported the epidemic prevention and control work in Wuhan. The vast number of medical workers, risking their lives, fought on the front line of the epidemic to protect the people Life safety and physical health have formed a powerful synergy in fighting the epidemic.
Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial People's Government, the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee, and the Municipal People's Government have made epidemic prevention and control a top priority. The work done in Wuhan can be briefly summarized as follows.
First, resolutely do a good job in treating patients. Since the outbreak, we first decided to set up a special ward at Jinyintan Hospital to treat patients with new pneumonia. As the number of patients continues to increase, so do our beds. The National Health Commission organized experts from all over the country to come to Wuhan to help our medical workers study treatment plans and actively treat these infected patients.
Second, we must effectively prevent and control the epidemic. The new type of coronavirus has never been seen before, and how to control it to the minimum is a top priority of our work. In order to do a good job of preventing and controlling the epidemic, Wuhan has gradually adopted some measures. In general, in accordance with the requirements of the Party Central Committee, internal prevention of proliferation and external prevention of exports have to be achieved. On the external defense output, starting at 10 am on January 23, citizens were requested not to leave Wuhan for no special reason, and airports, railway stations, and long-distance passenger transportation channels were temporarily closed. In terms of internal non-proliferation, the city ’s buses, subways, ferries, and Internet-taxi taxis are required to suspend operations and close the river crossing tunnels; starting at 00:00 on January 26, except for licensed transportation vehicles, free transportation vehicles, and official vehicles In addition, motor vehicle ban management is implemented in central urban areas. Because this is an epidemic, the characteristic is that as people move, viruses can spread to each other, so such measures must be taken to prevent the spread and spread of the epidemic.
In terms of epidemic prevention and control, we also launched a four-level emergency consultation mechanism. Giving play to the role of the community and grid members, the majority of citizens in Wuhan are required to go to the community health service center for inspection if they have fever. After preliminary screening by the community health service center, if there are obvious cold symptoms, go home to take medicine; if further fever diagnosis and treatment are needed, they will be sent to the fever diagnosis organizedly. After the fever diagnosis and treatment, those who need to be kept in isolation for observation and observation are sent to the fever department for isolation and observation, and those who do not need to go back to the street and community for isolation and observation. Through such means, the purpose is to control the spread of the epidemic.
Third, ensure the city's operation and citizens' lives. While controlling the external traffic and greatly compressing the internal traffic, the residents' life and the normal operation of the city are guaranteed. With the care and support of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and the strong help of fraternal provinces and cities, our supplies of meat, eggs, vegetables, milk, and other daily necessities and supplies are adequate. Residents can travel around as necessary, and our various bicycle systems are still operating. In response to the needs of residents for medical treatment or temporary special needs, the city has collected 6,000 taxis and online taxis, with an average of three to five vehicles in each community to ensure emergency travel.
Of course, we still have a lot of work, which have been reported and disclosed previously, including the importance of protecting the medical staff and protecting the broad masses of medical staff. In addition, we should mobilize the strength of party organizations and communities at all levels to form a system that serves the people, so that citizens can feel the party's existence, the government's existence, and the spirit of watching and helping neighbors. and many more.
Provincial Government Deputy Secretary-General Liu Zhongchu:
Thank you Comrade Ma Guoqiang. I would like to invite Comrade Yang Yunyan to introduce the situation.
Deputy Governor Yang Yunyan of the provincial government:
Good evening, media friends! As of 24:00 on January 26, our province has reported a total of 1423 confirmed cases of pneumonitis with new coronavirus infection, 221 severe cases, 69 critical cases, 76 death cases, and 44 discharged cases. At present, 10,394 close contacts have been traced, 1,291 medical observations have been lifted, and 9,103 people are still receiving medical observations.
In the process of medical treatment, our province mainly carried out the following work:
The first is to make every effort to treat patients. The province has set up 112 designated medical treatment hospitals to treat suspected or confirmed cases. The designated hospitals strictly follow the relevant diagnosis and treatment standards and the "Four Concentrations" (concentrated patients, centralized experts, centralized resources, and centralized treatment) principles to do a good job of medical treatment of suspected and confirmed patients. Wuhan City has deployed nearly 500 doctors to focus on strengthening the treatment of critically ill patients. Central South Hospital successfully used ECMO (Mobile Cardiopulmonary Apparatus) technology to treat the first critically ill patient in the province.
The second is to speed up the testing. We have adopted a number of measures, including the introduction of third-party agencies to speed up testing. Various regions carried out the detection of new-type coronavirus nucleic acids in strict accordance with the specifications, and preliminary identification of 41 eligible tertiary hospitals and 13 third-party institutions for nucleic acid detection.
The third is to speed up the deployment of beds and the construction of designated hospitals. The province has identified 112 designated medical institutions to treat patients with pneumonitis infected by the new coronavirus. In the first batch of Wuhan, seven designated hospitals were requisitioned and more than 3,000 beds were opened. In the next step, 24 medical institutions will be mobilized in batches to gradually withdraw beds to treat suspected and confirmed cases.
In addition, Wuhan City, following Beijing's "Xiaotangshan Hospital" model, is currently building two new hospitals for centralized treatment, and adding more than 2,000 beds.
The fourth is to strengthen medical treatment. In order to alleviate the over-fatigue of medical personnel, our province integrates the medical support forces of the state, the army, and the provinces, and arranges to strengthen the rescue power in various cities and prefectures. As of 18:00 on January 27, there were more than 3,100 medical team members from 26 medical teams assisting in medical treatment in our province. At present, more than 300 people from 4 medical teams are heading for Hubei.
The fifth is to implement the cost of medical treatment for patients. The medical expenses incurred by pneumonitis patients infected with the new coronavirus are coordinated by the local government, and the patients do not need to bear any costs. Drugs and diagnosis and treatment items used for rescue treatment are not restricted by relevant medical insurance policies. Patients who seek medical treatment in other places are settled after treatment, and reimbursement is no longer subject to the reduction of the proportion of payment for medical treatment in other places.
Sixth, we will try our best to improve the diagnosis and treatment plan and consultation process. Based on the previous implementation of the first, second, and third editions of the new coronavirus-infected pneumonia diagnosis and treatment program issued by the National Health and Health Commission, we formulated our province's diagnosis and treatment program (the first version) and confirmed the unity. Treatment plans, medication guidelines, release and isolation standards, transfer principles, etc., to guide the local patient care. The province's 549 second-level medical institutions and grass-roots medical and health institutions have set up pre-checking triage points and sent out hot clinics, making every effort to ensure that fever patients have a place for treatment.
Seventh, strengthen comprehensive protection for medical personnel. In accordance with national requirements, our province has formulated a temporary work subsidy policy for medical personnel and epidemic prevention workers participating in prevention and treatment. Strengthen the training of medical personnel on relevant knowledge such as diagnosis and treatment, disinfection and isolation, and personal protection, strengthen the awareness of prevention and control, and strictly prevent the risk of hospitalization. A number of forward-looking task forces and expert teams have been dispatched to the relevant cities and prefectures to carry out work, focusing on supervising the sense of hospital and the implementation of protective measures for medical staff.
Provincial Government Deputy Secretary-General Liu Zhongchu:
Thank you, Comrade Yang Yunyan. Now we invite Professor Hu Ke to introduce us.
Hu Ke, an expert of the Hubei Provincial Medical Treatment Team and a professor of respiratory medicine of the Hubei Provincial People's Hospital:
Hello media friends! Regarding pneumonitis infected by a new coronavirus, two aspects are introduced here. The first is that we must correctly understand the disease. Coronaviruses are a class of viruses that widely exist in nature. They are named because of the morphology of the virus, which is similar to a crown under electron microscope. According to the analysis of available data, the infection rate of the new coronavirus is higher, but the mortality rate is not higher than that of common viral pneumonia. From the clinical manifestations, different people are infected with the new coronavirus, and they have different manifestations and great differences. Mild patients present with cold-like symptoms or upper respiratory tract infection-like symptoms, with mild fever, cough, and general discomfort, but do not experience typical symptoms of pneumonia such as shortness of breath and dyspnea. Some patients will develop pneumonia, and only a few will gradually develop dyspnea in the later stages. In severe cases, symptoms of severe pneumonia such as acute respiratory distress syndrome are shown. In addition, compared with SARS at that time in 2003, the hospital's treatment capacity is now greatly improved, and it is capable of treating patients with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure.
The second is that everyone should take good protective measures. First, minimize activities in closed, airless public places and crowded places, avoid contact with patients with respiratory infections, and wear a mask when going out. Second, wash your hands frequently. Wash your hands immediately after coughing or sneezing, before or after preparing food, before or after meals, or after handling dirt. Wash hands with soap or hand sanitizer, rub your hands for at least 20 seconds, and rinse with running water. Pay attention to environmental hygiene and more ventilation. Third, maintain good airway etiquette. Avoid facing others when sneezing and coughing. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow instead of your hand. Put used paper towels in a covered trash can. Fourth, if symptoms such as fever occur, take the initiative to seek medical treatment. If symptoms such as fever and respiratory infections occur, wear a mask, go to a regular medical institution in time, and actively inform the doctor of the travel history, bird and wildlife contact history, and similar case contact history within 14 days before the onset of illness.
At present, multiple medical teams have been dispatched from all over the country to support our province. Everyone is working together to fight the pneumonia infected by the new coronavirus, and the situation will gradually improve.
Provincial Government Deputy Secretary-General Liu Zhongchu:
Thank you Professor Hu. Let ’s move on to the media questioning session. Reporters are welcome to ask questions. Please introduce your media before asking questions. Let ’s start asking questions.
Reporter of Legal Daily: Some donors report that Wuhan Red Cross will charge a 6% handling fee when accepting donations. Is this true? How to solve the problem of openness and transparency of donated materials?
Ma Guoqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Committee:
First of all, I would like to thank this reporter friend for his question and the media for their supervision. We have also paid attention to this topic online, and after careful verification, this situation is not true. Regarding your second question, how to solve the problem of openness and transparency of donated materials, we emphasize that all donated materials must go through the Red Cross Society, the purpose is to allow the donations of donors to be registered accurately and timely. The use of funds can be registered. In the process, some enthusiastic donors may say, "I donate something to you, and you want me to use only this channel, which may be inconvenient." Then I also apologize here. This is done for our unified control and to avoid being chased by some people in the current epidemic prevention and control process. Therefore, the province has to pass the Provincial Red Cross and Wuhan City to pass the city red. The Cross came to accept donations. At the same time, I also take this opportunity to thank all those who have donated to us, and thank everyone on behalf of more than 10 million Wuhan citizens!
Xinhua News Agency: At present, we found in interviews that many outpatient clinics in Wuhan have been overloaded. What measures does Wuhan take to ensure that all the receivables and treatments are taken? And the secretary just said that we need to give full play to the role of the community, so how can medical staff in the community get an effective rest? And how are their protective clothing in place?
Ma Guoqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Committee:
Thank you very much for asking this question. There was a queuing phenomenon in the early stages of fever clinics. In some places, the queuing is still very long. We have specially planned and designed solutions for this problem. Since the outbreak, the number of fever outbreaks in Wuhan has increased day by day. In the past year, the number of fever outbreaks in the city has been around 3,000 every day. In the past few days, more than 15,000 people have visited the fever outpatient clinics during peak hours. In the case of an instantaneous increase, our fever clinic is indeed operating at an overload, and a large number of people queue up. In response to this problem, the solution we quickly adopted was what I introduced to you just now, and I will repeat it. We told all citizens to observe the body temperature at home. If the body temperature was measured three times with a thermometer, the residents were instructed to go to the community health service center. The community service center was equipped with some necessary equipment. Before this, it was able to detect some very clear fever Symptoms, such as a cold. After a preliminary screening, further outpatient fever clinics are needed. There are 62 hospitals in Wuhan that have established outpatient fever clinics. Visit these clinics nearby. In this process, everyone also noticed that even when we peaked at 15,000 people, all 62 hot clinics due to their geographical distribution and popularity are still different, and we still hope to go to major hospitals and famous hospitals to see hot clinics. Therefore, we believe that through gradual guidance, take an appointment similar to the fever clinic to guide the fever patients to the fever clinic. Through our work, in the past two or three days, the phenomenon of queuing up a lot of fever clinics has eased. Of course, I also hope that the media will further supervise and see if there are still a large number of people in our 62 hot clinics.
Another issue is the protection of community health centers and community personnel. As our awareness of things continues to increase and we need to protect them, supplies are guaranteed. I noticed that you just mentioned the issue of protective clothing, and the country is constantly revising the standards for the use of protective clothing. The people in the community are basically in the early stage of fever. If the lungs at home are very uncomfortable, then such people will not go to the community. So the necessary protection must be ensured, but it is not necessary to wear protective clothing at the community health service center? Just like our occasion today, saying that each of us lives and works in Wuhan for a long time, there may be viruses, so I apologize to everyone, why I sit here today to answer questions and wear a mask, not disrespect to everyone, but we want to protect Be good to others and protect yourself. These protections of community health service centers are sufficient now. What needs to be strengthened is our fever clinics and specialized hospitals.
Reporter from Hubei Daily: Some netizens report that the current supply of materials at Vulcan Mountain Hospital is difficult. Is it true? How to solve it in Wuhan?
Ma Guoqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Committee:
First of all, thank the netizens for their interest in the new project. With the continued development of the epidemic, we temporarily decided to start the Vulcan Mountain Hospital project, which is different from the other projects we have planned for a long time. During the implementation of the project, there will be more or less periodic and individual difficulties such as material shortage. However, the general public, especially netizens who are concerned about this project, believe that Vulcan Mountain Hospital is a simple hospital, and even if there are difficulties in the construction, we can solve it. We promise to the whole society that this project will be completed and put into use as scheduled. Thank you!
Reporter of China News Service: We have recently seen medical staff in Wuhan reporting a shortage of hospital supplies. I would like to ask what is the specific cause of this phenomenon in Wuhan.
Ma Guoqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Committee:
Medical staff report the shortage of hospital supplies, which mainly reflects that we have to overcome some difficulties in the prevention and treatment of pneumonia in response to new coronavirus infections. One of these difficulties is that the proportion of production according to domestic standards and national standards and the proportion of production according to European standards and American standards for export should generally be higher. This brings us to a problem that requires our experts to study in time whether the European standard protection standards can be converted into our national standard protection standards, and which type of European standard protection standards can be converted into our national standard protection standards. It's about protective clothing.
The other is goggles. There is also a periodical shortage of goggles. So far, it should be said that it is also a tight balance. Here I would like to inform the media that, for the majority of medical workers, the Party Central Committee and the State Council are determined to pool the nation's efforts to ensure these necessary protections for medical staff. At the same time, they are asking Wuhan to treat such tension, preciousness, and scarcity Resources must be used properly, that is, good steel should be used on the blade, and it must not cause waste during the allocation and use.
Masks may be more telling. There is also a problem with the level of masks, as well as the problem of overtime. After the outbreak, we called on Wuhan citizens to wear masks. In the process, we did not advertise enough and did not give enough guidance. As a result, everyone wanted to use the best masks, and they all wanted to use medical masks. This caused staged mask tension.
It should be said that in terms of production capacity and long-term supply and demand balance, protective clothing may reflect the most stressful and difficult to organize in terms of capacity. Because the goggles are included, the goggles are actually used once, but the goggles are like welding mirrors. To a certain extent, I do n’t know if they can be sterilized or I can recycle them. I think that the most difficult thing to organize resources in these three categories is protective clothing, but we must also tell the medical workers through the media that the Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to and care for us. We must make up our minds to gather the power of the country, including After the European standard, American standard and national standard are aligned, we can also use import channels to expand our supply. At the same time, it is necessary to increase the productivity of the original protective clothing manufacturers in China. Now their operating rate is gradually recovering, because everyone knows that many factories like this are closed for the Spring Festival. After the epidemic came out, those factories in various places were already stepping up their work and stepping up their operating rates. With the increase of their operating rate, we will expand the scope of procurement and expand channels.
At present, the National Health Commission is organizing experts to formulate guidelines for the use of protective clothing. In this epidemic prevention and control, in the special hospitals that treat patients, doctors and nurses must enter the intensive care unit, and close contact with patients must be closely inspected. This is the red zone we are talking about and must be protected at the highest level. Many patients are contacted, and there are fever clinics. After diagnosis, some may be suspect and some may not. In such cases, should the highest level of protective clothing be used, or the second level of protective clothing? With the continuous development of the epidemic situation, we are also constantly summarizing and researching.
In short, we must do everything to ensure that the majority of medical workers are protected.
Reporter of Chutian Metropolis Daily: After the outbreak, the nation ’s attention has basically been focused on Wuhan, and various aids have also been focused on Wuhan. However, I have noticed that in addition to Wuhan, other cities and prefectures have also experienced tight medical resources. The situation is also very grim. May I ask what measures the province will take in response to this situation? Thank you.
Deputy Governor Yang Yunyan of the provincial government:
Thank you for your question. This question is very important. The strength of primary health care institutions in our province is very important for our province's prevention and control work, and we are strengthening our work in many aspects.
The first is to comprehensively strengthen the strength of the grassroots, especially the fever diagnosis and the prevention and control of new coronary pneumonia. In terms of materials, according to the current supply of materials, the needs of counties and cities are measured according to the number of confirmed diagnoses, the number of centralized patients, the number of outpatients, and the number of fever clinics. The province coordinates, maintains focus, and maintains the bottom line to support primary medical care in the province. Institutions meet operational needs. At the same time, guide localities to make a reserve of medical treatment resources to meet the needs of treatment through new construction, reconstruction or requisition of existing medical and health institutions in accordance with the development of the epidemic situation and local conditions. According to statistics, in addition to the reserve hospitals in Wuhan, 70 other medical and health institutions in other cities (prefectures) of the province are newly built, rebuilt, expanded or requisitioned. It is estimated that more than 8,000 additional beds will be used for the treatment of patients with pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus .
The second is to continuously increase the intensity of counterpart assistance. In the previous stage, Wuhan's rescue mission was very arduous, and most of the medical forces supported across the country were concentrated in Wuhan. Aiming at the shortcomings of the province, especially the grassroots medical and health personnel, in terms of strength and treatment experience, based on the support of the national and fraternal province (city) medical teams in Wuhan, the state urgently coordinated the arrangement of 5 fraternal provinces (municipalities). A total of 698 medical staff from the aid-E medical team dispatched to Huanggang, Xianning, Xiaogan, Xiantao, Qianjiang, Tianmen and other places where the epidemic situation is currently severe. In the next step, the provincial headquarters will actively strive for the country to continue to increase support to the localities depending on the treatment situation in various places, use the national strength to strengthen the grass-roots treatment power shortage, and make every effort to alleviate the pressure of lack of medical personnel and treatment capacity in various places. At present, the demand and severity of pneumonia treatment work caused by new coronaviruses in different places are not the same. We will make overall arrangements according to actual needs.
The third is to comprehensively strengthen grassroots prevention and control and rescue efforts. Grass-roots prevention and control is very important for timely treatment. The provincial headquarters deployed urgently, and all townships (streets) and communities (villages) in the province have done a good job in preventing and controlling grass-roots epidemics, and have formulated specific measures to require township health centers and community health service centers throughout the province to set up pre-checking and subdiagnosis points (Taiwan), conduct pre-examination and triage of fever patients, confirm virus infection, do a good job of registration and transfer to sentinel medical institutions for fever clinics, comprehensively implement the initial screening and follow-up of fever causes of fever patients, and reduce the pressure for superior hospitals. At the same time, grass-roots medical and health institutions are required to cooperate with local street (community) and village (neighborhood) committees to fulfill their "grid" management responsibilities, such as establishing health files and health management cards for mobile returnees. Publicize knowledge on prevention and treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia, and vigorously publicize protection knowledge. Fever patients will be fully searched and managed on a “ledger-style” basis. Fever patients and close contacts who need to be observed at home will be strictly controlled and follow-up medical services will be provided. Measures for prevention and control by classification will be implemented at the grassroots level.
Reporter from Hubei Radio and Television News Center: I would like to ask Professor Hu. Many netizens are concerned that from the official notification to the cure, there are fewer treatments and more deaths. Is it because of the treatment effect?
Hu Ke, an expert of the Hubei Provincial Medical Treatment Team and a professor of respiratory medicine of the Hubei Provincial People's Hospital:
The treatment cycle for viral pneumonia is generally 2-3 weeks. In order to ensure that patients discharged from the hospital are not infectious, the National Health and Health Commission's "New Coronavirus Infected Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Program (Trial Version 3)" sets out discharge standards. Strict requirements, "the body temperature returned to normal for more than 3 days, the respiratory symptoms improved significantly, pulmonary imaging showed significant absorption of inflammation, two consecutive negative respiratory pathogen nucleic acid tests were negative (sampling interval of at least 1 day), and the patient could be released from isolation and discharged", Because there are fewer cases diagnosed in the early stage and fewer discharged cases, the number of discharged cases will gradually increase with the follow-up diagnosis and treatment.
Voice of Hubei Reporter: We in Wuhan have been advocating the isolation of minor patients at home. How can effective home isolation reduce the impact on society and the family? Like tonight, a window-opening chorus spontaneously formed by netizens is advisable ,Thank you.
Hu Ke, an expert of the Hubei Provincial Medical Treatment Team and a professor of respiratory medicine of the Hubei Provincial People's Hospital:
The virus has relatively weak viability in vitro, and can be inactivated at 56 ? C for 30 minutes. Chlorine-containing disinfectants and 75% ethanol can effectively inactivate the virus. In addition, virus transmission mainly depends on vectors such as droplets and body fluids, and cannot be transmitted in a vacuum. Therefore, home isolation should be based on the following two points. First, reduce the virus survival environment, such as regular ventilation, pay attention to high-temperature disinfection of used items such as tableware, and use chlorine-containing disinfectant to wipe the doorside door handles and other frequently contacted places. To reduce transmission, such as washing hands frequently, wearing face masks, staying in an independent isolated space as much as possible, using a trash can with a lid, a sealed garbage bag, it is best to use a separate bathroom for bathing and toilet use. Disinfection and ventilation. The third is to monitor the condition, pay attention to monitoring body temperature, if symptoms such as chest tightness, dyspnea, etc., go to the hospital in time.
Provincial Government Deputy Secretary-General Liu Zhongchu:
Due to time constraints, today's press conference is over. Thank you friends!

Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and others have found that 3 drugs have a good inhibitory effect on new coronavirus
Release time: January 28, 2020 23:38 Source: Hubei Daily

Hubei Daily (Reporter Wen Jun, correspondent Long Hua, Hu Shuwei) On January 28, a series of good news came out from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences: The institute has just developed antibody test strips for research; meanwhile, the The Institute and the Institute of Toxicology and Drugs of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences have jointly found Remdesivir or Remdesivir (GS-5734), chloroquine (Remdesivir, GS-5734), which has a good inhibitory effect on the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) at the cellular level. Chloroquine, Sigma-C6628), Ritonavir and three other "old drugs". Its subsequent clinical use is undergoing related procedures for approval.

In the past few days, relevant departments and scientific research units of the scientific and technological circles in our province have stepped up scientific and technological research and development, highlighted the urgent need for prevention and control, gave full play to the role of experts, and endeavored to provide scientific and technological support for front-line prevention and control treatment. Ning Qin, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, pointed out that most patients with pneumonitis infected by new coronavirus have a good prognosis and a few patients are critically ill; symptoms of children are relatively mild, and the elderly and those with basic diseases are infected. Heavier. Based on current epidemiological investigations, the incubation period of the virus is 3-7 days, with a maximum of 14 days. She believes that in view of the similarities between the new coronavirus and SARS-Cov virus and their clinical symptoms, it is speculated that the pathogenic mechanism is likely to be caused by the activation of the body's autoimmune attack on autologous lungs and immune organs, but the specific mechanism uncertain.

On January 21, according to the urgent scientific and technological needs of rapid epidemic disposal and emergency response, the Provincial Department of Science and Technology launched the "2019 New Pneumonia Emergency Science and Technology Research Project", established a new type of pneumonia emergency scientific research research expert group, and quickly promoted related research work. The Scientific Research Group of the Pneumonia Prevention and Control Headquarters of Hubei Province New Coronavirus Infection organized a strong team in the province in several related fields such as virology and epidemiology, led by the Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, focusing on "rapid detection technology products" Emergency research has been initiated in five areas, including R & D, the law of disease occurrence, development, and outcome, and clinical diagnosis and treatment, antiviral emergency drugs and vaccines, animal traceability research, and etiology and epidemiology research. With a view to carrying out epidemiological investigation and etiology traceability as soon as possible, revealing the mechanisms and rules of inflammatory response caused by pathogen infection as soon as possible, providing the foundation for disease treatment and drug development as soon as possible, and forming the ability to quickly detect and respond to new-type coronavirus as soon as possible. At present, the Ministry of Science and Technology is organizing scientific and technological research on the diagnosis and treatment of new pneumonia. The emergency science and technology research project initiated by Hubei Province is very timely. The scientific research and research system on the diagnosis and treatment of new pneumonia has been formed with the emergency research on new pneumonia diagnosis and treatment carried out by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Wu Tangchun, dean and professor of the School of Public Health of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, believes that the highest priority and most effective prevention and control strategy is still to control the source of infection and cut off the transmission route. Monitoring and screening of hospitals and crowded places should be strengthened, medical institutions at all levels should be urged to report cases and suspected cases in a timely manner, strengthen the training of medical and health technicians, and improve the ability of early identification and diagnosis of cases. It is necessary to implement centralized centralized treatment of cases And suspected cases and treated in isolation. Considering the source of infection, treatment effectiveness, mortality, etc., suggestions for encouraging mild and moderate suspected patients to be isolated and treated at home should be supported instead of waiting in a long line at the hospital.

Professor Tongchun Chun also believes that because the transmission of new coronavirus pneumonia is still not completely clear, drawing on the main prevention and control experience of respiratory infectious diseases, it is recommended to cut off the transmission through strengthening disinfection, ventilation, personal protection and other means, and to strengthen the tracking of close contacts, Detection, isolation and protection. The public must treat the epidemic rationally without panic.
