Wen Guoxin, deputy director of the Urumqi Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stated in the notification that among the cases that appeared, there were 2 consecutive nucleic acid tests. All were negative, and they were not positive until the third test, so it is necessary to repeat the test.

According to the "New Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan", nucleic acid testing is the main detection method and judgment standard for confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and asymptomatic infections. In order to be cautious, it is necessary to conduct multiple sampling tests on key areas and key personnel based on the test results. Among the cases in our city, two consecutive nucleic acid tests were negative, and they were not positive until the third test, so repeated tests are necessary.
[Explanation] He also said that the occult of the new coronavirus is very strong, and the time of detoxification is different for different infected people. From the perspective of epidemic prevention and control, multiple nucleic acid tests for key areas and key populations are an important measure to eliminate hidden dangers of the epidemic. By increasing the frequency of nucleic acid tests, it can help us find asymptomatic infections as soon as possible and implement isolation medicine for them. Observation, early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment will help move the prevention and control barriers forward, effectively control the risks after resuming work and resuming labor, and reduce the conditions and sources of virus infection.
According to the official website of the Xinjiang Health Commission, as of 0:00 to 24:00 on August 10, 13 new cases of new coronary pneumonia have been confirmed in Xinjiang, and 38 new cases have been cured and discharged. Among the newly confirmed cases and the newly cured and discharged cases, they are all cases in Urumqi.
Wen Guoxin also said that yesterday (10th) the total number of confirmed cases cured and discharged from hospital and asymptomatic infections released from medical observation exceeded the number of newly reported infections for the fourth consecutive day. Thanks to the joint efforts of the State Council’s expert team on joint prevention and control mechanisms for the response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic and Xinjiang medical staff, the patient’s cure rate has continued to increase. As of August 10, the total number of confirmed cases cured and discharged from the hospital and asymptomatic infections released from medical observation has exceeded 300. The number of confirmed cases treated in the hospital and asymptomatic infections under medical observation continues to decline.
Since the current round of the epidemic, in accordance with the overall requirements of the “three guarantees” of “guaranteeing medical treatment and treatment, protecting the key front-line, and ensuring emergency needs”, we have coordinated the procurement, deployment, release, and storage of emergency medical supplies in Urumqi and other key links. The standard guarantees the supply of emergency medical supplies.

Through organizing production, external procurement, accepting donations, etc., we will make every effort to expand the storage scale of medical supplies. All kinds of emergency medical supplies collected in place are uniformly deployed to epidemic prevention points such as fever clinics, checkpoints, and transportation hubs. Up to now, five categories of medical supplies, including testing reagents, protective equipment, medical equipment, treatment medicines, and disinfection products, are adequately stocked.
