China News Service, Xi’an, December 26 (Yang Yingqi) A reporter learned from a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Xi’an on the 26th that the city reported 155 local confirmed cases from 00:00 to 24:00 on the 25th, all of which have been transferred to Isolation and treatment in designated hospitals.
It is understood that of the 155 newly confirmed cases, 92 were found in isolation control, 56 cases were found in nucleic acid screening, and 7 cases were confirmed by active medical treatment.
Through the epidemiological investigation of the cases, the closed and sub-closed connections that have been identified have been isolated and controlled in accordance with relevant requirements.
Xi’an officials stated that since Xi’an upgraded prevention and control measures on the 23rd, the number of confirmed cases reported for 3 consecutive days were 49, 75, and 155, and most of them were infected before the upgrade of prevention and control measures.
Through the three rounds of large-scale nucleic acid screening since the 21st, most concealed cases and community-infected people can be quickly detected, which is conducive to early detection, early isolation, and early interruption, and minimizes the possibility of transmission. This is also true. It is the dual effect of the city's lockdown and large-scale screening. Nucleic acid screening in the next few days may have a large number of reported cases. Please don't panic.
