Qingdao is one of the first entry points in my country.
Some independent areas of Qingdao Chest Hospital are responsible for the admission and treatment of imported new coronavirus infections.
The infected person Han was hospitalized in Qingdao Chest Hospital on September 9 for tuberculosis and was discharged on October 4.
Because Han was going to be hospitalized again at Qingdao Chest Hospital on October 12, he went to Qingdao Central Hospital for a nucleic acid test on the morning of October 10, and the result was positive.
The infected person Jiang Moumou worked as an escort in the hospital and accompanied the inpatients at Qingdao Chest Hospital from July 21 to September 29.
On October 10, his nucleic acid test was positive at Qingdao Central Hospital, and his nucleic acid re-test at Qingdao CDC on October 11 was positive. Based on laboratory test results and clinical manifestations, the expert team determined that he was asymptomatic. .
Some medical staff of Qingdao Chest Hospital stated that the imported cases were treated in separate areas, and the two infected persons were on different floors. They did not know why the infection occurred.
It is worth noting that the Qingdao Municipal Health Commission notified on the 12th that Qingdao had discovered 6 confirmed cases and 6 asymptomatic infections in this epidemic, all of which are highly related to Qingdao Chest Hospital.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, strict prevention of nosocomial infection has been a problem.
In early April, two confirmed patients with new coronary pneumonia were infected because they were treated in the same ward of Jiaozhou Central Hospital in Qingdao as the imported confirmed cases.
At the beginning of the epidemic, two other local hospitals also experienced such problems.
In addition, another infected person, Shao Moumou, is a taxi driver and Jiang Moumou's husband.

The taxi driver Shao Moumou's infection worries many citizens.
Although Shao Moumou said that he always wears a mask while driving and does not talk to passengers, some citizens believe that the domestic epidemic prevention and control situation has continued to improve recently. Some people have relaxed their vigilance. Many taxi drivers do not wear masks, and some wear masks. But his nose and even his mouth are exposed.
In addition, Qingdao is a city with a well-developed tourism industry, with a large migrant population. Taxi drivers contact passengers every day, and passengers basically do not remember their car numbers, making it difficult to check.
Experts believe that the main difficulties in the prevention and control of the current Qingdao epidemic are the unclear source and path of infection and the difficulty of epidemiological investigation.
Currently, Qingdao's disease control department is investigating the source and path of infection.
