Suzhou disease control experts respond to why the now announced case activity trajectory is getting simpler

  On February 21, Suzhou City held the eighth press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. At the meeting, a reporter asked why the current announced case activity trajectory is getting simpler and simpler?

Zhang Jun, deputy director and chief physician of the Suzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, responded:

  The recently announced case activity trajectories are simpler than earlier cases for several reasons:

  First of all, the cases discovered in recent days are mainly close contacts of early cases and are already under isolation and control.

  Secondly, after the outbreak of the epidemic, the city has adopted social-level control measures such as suspending classes, canceling public gathering activities, and closing entertainment venues. Citizens have also strengthened monitoring of their own health and reduced unnecessary going out and gathering. Therefore, the trajectory of activities has also changed. becomes relatively simple.
