On December 29, the State Council Information Office held a briefing.
Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the adjustment of the new crown from "Class B and A" to "B and B" has different meanings for epidemic prevention and control, and for ordinary people. of.
"Class B and A management" has requirements for reporting infectious diseases. Once a diagnosis is made, the report is required to be completed within 2 hours. As we said before, the new crown spreads fast, and our response is faster. Therefore, according to the management of class A, after a case is found, it must be reported. Report within 2 hours, and only after the report can timely take measures.
If we talk about "Class B and B management", its reporting time limit has been extended from 2 hours to 24 hours, and the urgency is different.
Wu Zunyou said that judging from the measures taken, some coercive measures can be taken for "Class B and A control", including compulsory isolation and compulsory treatment.
For "Class B and B control", in principle, there will be no such measures, and more patients will have their own choices. From the perspective of prevention and control and ordinary patients, the meaning is different.
