On the 3rd, the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference on the support of scientific and technological innovation to support the resumption of production and economic stability.
Aiming at the situation of asymptomatic infection and Fuyang, Bao Xianhua said that the population distribution, infectivity, and clinical outcomes of these two cases are currently being studied intensively by relevant parties and experts. We must attach great importance to this issue, and we must not take it lightly or panic too much.
Bao Xianhua pointed out that according to statistics, so far no exact cases of Fuyang patients leading to the spread of the disease have been found. At the same time, under the current strict control measures, most experts believe that asymptomatic infection is unlikely to cause a large-scale epidemic. As long as scientific epidemic prevention, washing hands, wearing face masks, and maintaining social distance are done as required, both epidemic prevention and resumption of work can be achieved.
