Problems for asymptomatic people

Many experts said: No need to worry too much

As early as January 28, the "New Coronavirus Pneumonia Case Surveillance Plan (Third Edition)" distinguishes "asymptomatic infected persons" from suspected cases, confirmed cases, and mild cases: if the new coronavirus The nucleic acid test was positive, but there were no symptoms, and it was not included in the confirmed cases issued daily. However, strict management measures should still be implemented for asymptomatic infected persons. Asymptomatic infected persons should be isolated for 14 days. After the expiration period, in principle, two consecutive specimens with negative nucleic acid tests can be released. If symptoms occur during quarantine, they will be admitted to hospital immediately.

In China, there were four main ways to track ¡°asymptomatic infected persons¡±: one is the active detection during the medical observation of close contacts of new coronary pneumonia cases; the second is the active detection carried out in the cluster epidemic investigation; Active detection of exposed people in the process of tracing the source of infection. Fourth, active detection of people with travel history and residence history in areas where new cases of new pneumonia have continued to spread. According to another introduction, asymptomatic infected persons are isolated and observed as required after being identified, and are not discharged until the nucleic acid test turns negative.

In response to the problem of people with asymptomatic infections, many experts said: No need to worry too much. Suggestion: On the one hand, pay attention to self-monitoring and do not ignore any discomforts such as cough, fatigue, and sore throat; on the other hand, strengthen self-protection and wear masks to avoid risks in the complex environment where people gather.
