Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 9 (Reporter Wen Jinghua) The Joint Defense and Joint Control Mechanism of the State Council recently issued the “Management Standards for Asymptomatic Infected Patients of New Coronavirus” to strengthen the discovery, reporting and management of asymptomatic infected people with New Crown Virus, and to remove the concentrated medical observation Those who have asymptomatic infection should continue with 14 days of medical observation and follow-up.
Asymptomatic infection of New Coronavirus (hereinafter referred to as "asymptomatic infection") refers to the absence of relevant clinical manifestations, such as fever, cough, sore throat and other self-perceived or clinically identifiable symptoms and signs, but the respiratory tract and other specimens of New Coronavirus Those who tested positive in science. There are two cases of asymptomatic infections: first, after 14 days of isolation medical observation, there are no symptoms and signs that can be self-perceived or clinically recognizable; second, the "asymptomatic infection" state in the incubation period. Asymptomatic people are contagious and have a risk of transmission.
The standard requires that the monitoring and discovery of asymptomatic infected persons be strengthened: first, active detection during close medical observation of new coronary pneumonia cases; second, active detection in cluster epidemic investigations; and third, in new coronary pneumonia cases Active detection of exposed people during the course of infectious source tracking; Fourth, active detection of persons with history of residence in areas where new coronary pneumonia cases continue to spread in and out of the country; Fifth, related personnel found in epidemiological investigations and opportunistic screening.
Medical and health institutions at all levels and all types of asymptomatic infections should report directly to the Internet within 2 hours. The county-level disease control agency completes the case investigation within 24 hours after receiving the report of asymptomatic infection, and promptly registers close contacts, and reports the case questionnaire or investigation report through the infectious disease report information management system in a timely manner.
The regulations are clear, asymptomatic infections should focus on medical observation for 14 days. During this period, those with clinical symptoms and signs related to new coronary pneumonia turned into confirmed cases. If the concentrated medical observation has been completed for 14 days and the nucleic acid test is negative for two consecutive samples (the sampling time should be at least 24 hours apart), the concentrated medical observation can be released. Close contacts of asymptomatic patients should also focus on medical observation for 14 days. An expert group should be organized to conduct patrol visits to asymptomatic infected persons who are concentrated in medical observation, and find possible confirmed cases in time.
The standard also requires that asymptomatic patients who have been released from centralized medical observation should continue to conduct 14 days of medical observation and follow-up. After the release of the concentrated medical observation, the follow-up visits will be conducted at designated hospitals in the second and fourth weeks to keep abreast of their health status.
