(Combating New Coronary Pneumonia) French confirmed diagnosis rises to 57
China News Agency, Paris, February 28 (Reporter Li Yang) French Minister of Health Villeland announced on the evening of the 28th local time that France added 19 new cases of newly diagnosed coronary pneumonia that day and the total number of confirmed cases increased to 57. He warned of a new phase of the French epidemic.
At a press conference that night, Villan said that of the 19 new cases of confirmed new pneumonia, 18 were from or related to the province of Oise near northern Paris. Oise has become the worst-affected province in France.
Wiran rushed to the local inspections before the press conference to discuss with local officials and discuss how to control the epidemic. Wiran said that as a specific measure to control the epidemic, some schools in the province of Oise will be closed until March 4.
The search for "Patient Zero" in Oise is ongoing, but no specific target has been identified. Some analysts believe that the patient may have entered the locality through Beauvais Airport in Oise, but the related investigation will be very difficult.
Villan warned that the new crown pneumonia epidemic in France has entered a new stage, and that new coronaviruses are spreading on French soil. We must curb the spread of the virus and no new deaths should occur. He also advised people to avoid handshake at the moment, and healthy people who don't touch patients don't need to wear masks.
Up to now, of the 57 confirmed cases in France, 12 have been discharged; 43 have been treated in hospitals, many of whom are in serious condition; and 2 have died. The patients receiving treatment are scattered in medical institutions in more than 10 places throughout the law.
A confirmed case was reported in Nice, a city close to Italy in the south of France on the same day. The patient had previously visited Italy and is now in stable condition. The epidemic in Italy continued to worsen, with 888 confirmed cases and 21 deaths on the evening of the 28th.
The French Presidential Palace announced on the evening of the 28th that on the 29th, a meeting of the National Defense Commission and a special meeting of cabinet ministers will be held to discuss how to respond to changes in the epidemic. (Finish)
