China News Service, Beijing, June 18 (Chen Hang), Wu Zunyou, chief expert in epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at the press conference on the 18th that the Beijing epidemic has been brought under control, based on the fact that the daily reported cases of new diagnosis are not equal to Newly infected, analysis of the onset time of 21 cases reported yesterday found that most of the symptoms appeared a few days ago. It takes a while from infection to onset to diagnosis. These 21 cases were basically infected before June 12.
Wu Zunyou said that after the epidemic occurred in the wholesale market in Xinfa District, one was to see whether the vegetable and fruit producing areas were safe without pollution caused by production; the other was whether the supply market was safe and there was no epidemic. Vegetables and fruits that meet the above conditions are safe and can be eaten with confidence. Of course, pay attention to hygiene when eating raw, fruits can be eaten raw, and vegetables can be eaten raw if possible.
Wu Zunyou said that regarding the outbreak in Beijing, on the one hand, it is expected that sporadic cases may occur in various parts of the country. As the global epidemic is still at a high epidemic stage, more than 100,000 people are reported every day. As long as there is a risk of overseas imports, import cases and small-scale clustered epidemics caused by them may occur anywhere. On the other hand, beyond expectations, there was a wholesale market with so many cases concentrated.
Wu Zunyou said that fortunately, Beijing responded in a timely manner, found the epidemic as soon as possible, pinpointed the source, took measures to cut off the continued spread, and controlled the epidemic to the smallest extent. If Beijing fails to take timely measures and discovers in time, there will be an even more serious epidemic like in Wuhan at the beginning of the year.
