On February 15, Shenzhen added 3 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia.

Two of them are close contacts of the "0213" epidemic cases that have been quarantined and observed, and one is found by routine nucleic acid testing of key personnel.

  1. Two new cases were added among the close contacts under centralized isolation and observation of the "0213" epidemic

  Case 4: Male, 17 years old, inbound passenger isolation hotel staff, close contact of "0213" epidemic case 1 who has been quarantined and observed, diagnosed as a confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia (light).

  Case 5: Male, 23 years old, a staff member of a hotel quarantined for inbound passengers, a close contact of case 1 of the "0213" epidemic who has been quarantined and observed, and diagnosed as a confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia (light).

  The 2 cases were in a closed-loop management state during their work in the past 14 days, and their activity trajectory was from the work dormitory (Xinhu Street, Guangming District, Tongfuyu Industrial Zone Spring Apartment) to the isolation hotel "two points and one line".

  At present, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has completed the whole genome sequencing of the new coronavirus in cases 2 and 3 of the "0213" epidemic.

After comparison, the new coronavirus sequences of cases 1-3 are highly homologous, suggesting the same transmission chain.

Sequencing of the infectious virus genes in cases 4 and 5 is in progress.

  2. One confirmed case was found in routine nucleic acid testing of key personnel

  On February 15, in the routine nucleic acid test of key personnel, a confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia was found.

The relevant situations are as follows:

  Case 1: Female, 54 years old, a staff member of Minghua Building, Dongmen Street, Luohu District, living in Xiawei New Village, Qingshuihe Street, Luohu District.

He was initially screened positive on February 15, and was confirmed to be positive by the Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention. He was transferred to the emergency hospital of Shenzhen Third People's Hospital for isolation and treatment, and was diagnosed as a confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia (mild).

  Preliminary investigation found that the main activity trajectory of the case in recent days is: (1) Subway: Line 3 (Caopu Station, Laojie Station); (2) Bus lines: M190 (Caopu Subway Station, Dongmen Station), 369 (Caopu Metro Station, Dongmen Station); (3) Luohu District: Minghua Building, Dongmen Street.

  3. Epidemic situation

  Relevant departments in Shenzhen and the district are fully tracing the activity trajectories and personnel contacts of all cases in the past 14 days. The traced close contacts and sub-close contacts have been controlled as required.

  The workplaces and residences of all cases have been controlled, and environmental nucleic acid sampling and terminal disinfection have been carried out in key places where they have been active.

In accordance with the principle of "exhaustive inspection", continue to strengthen the inspection and management of general contacts and key groups of people.

  Citizens are requested to continue to fulfill their personal prevention and control responsibilities, take protective measures such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, ventilating more, disinfecting frequently, and maintaining social distance, and actively cooperate with the implementation of various epidemic prevention and control measures.
