[World Report] China confirmed again, "Corona, possibility of foreign inflow"

Another confirmed case of Corona 19 occurred in mainland China.

China's National Hygiene and Health Commission said on the 28th that 42 corona19 confirmed cases came out during one day, of which 20 were from overseas and 22 were in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.

According to an announcement by Chinese health authorities, it was 13 days after the confirmed case occurred in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, on the 14th that the confirmed case came out from mainland China.

The confirmed

Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region came from Supu County, Kashgar.

This is a case in which all 22 patients with asymptomatic infections have changed to confirmed cases.

As is well known, China classifies asymptomatic infections, not confirmed cases, if there are no symptoms such as fever or cough even if they test positive for Corona 19.

According to the Chinese health authorities' announcement, these 22 people had no symptoms at first, but later showed symptoms.

China's health authorities are rather confident that'this is the result of rapid response measures.'

"Corona 19 patients can usually test positive a few days before symptoms appear, but the local response was so swift that they were followed up before symptoms appeared," he explains.

What is worrisome is the rapid increase in the number of these asymptomatic infections.

In the case of Kashgar this time, after one asymptomatic infection was first discovered on the 24th, the number of asymptomatic infections increased significantly to 138 on the 25th and 164 on the 26th.

On the 27th, some asymptomatic infections were changed to confirmed cases, while other asymptomatic infections were newly released, resulting in 22 confirmed cases and 161 asymptomatic infections, local health authorities said.

According to the explanation of Chinese health officials, there may be more confirmed cases among asymptomatic infections because symptoms of Corona 19 may appear several days after they test positive.

There is also a concern for the 2nd and 3rd spread.

Moreover, how the first asymptomatic patient in the region came out, the so-called'patient 0', is still unknown.

Chinese health authorities cited their'surprising' test speed as one of the reasons for the surge in the number of asymptomatic infections.

The Xinjiang Uighur Sanitation and Health Commission said it had completed nucleic acid testing on all 4.47 million people in Kashgar district by the 27th.

Since the first infected person came out on the 24th, it means that all 4.74 million people were tested in three days.

Earlier, Chinese health officials announced that 11 million people had completed a full test in five days even when a confirmed case occurred in Qingdao City, Shandong Province.

For reference, from January 3 to October 27, the number of nucleic acid testers in Korea is 2.58 million.

The position of the Chinese leadership was embarrassing.

Earlier, on September 8, China held a large-scale commendation event for Corona 19 merit in the presence of President Xi Jinping, declaring the end of the coronavirus.

However, since then, there have been a bunch of confirmed cases in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, and this time, there have also been confirmed cases in Kashgar, Xinjiang.

The declaration of an end to the coronavirus is bound to be overshadowed.

In response, the Chinese authorities took out a'disciplinary card'.

Chinese authorities previously concluded that the cause of the outbreak in Qingdao was'poor hospital management'.

The group infection in Qingdao started at a thoracic hospital, which was used to treat corona patients from abroad.

As a result of the investigation, the Chinese health authorities explained that the infected people used the same computed tomography (CT) room as those from overseas, and that the CT room was infected because it was not properly disinfected.

The Chinese authorities suspended the head of the Qingdao Municipal Health and Health Commission for blame for poor quarantine, and immediately dismissed the hospital's director.

Depending on the results of the investigation of the cause of the spread in Kashgar, Xinjiang Uighur,'Zul' disciplinary action may follow.

other hand, Chinese authorities are also working hard to determine the cause of the first outbreak of Corona 19.

On the 28th, Chinese media reported joint research papers from the Beijing Disease Control Center, Tsinghua University, and Beijing University.

This paper saw that'cold chain (refrigerated distribution) food' could be the cause of the COVID-19 outbreak in the Sinpadi wholesale agricultural and fishery market that caused the group spread in Beijing in June.

At that time, all of the confirmed patients in Beijing were directly or indirectly related to the Sinfadi market, and it is very likely that the virus first originated in stores selling imported seafood in a specific area.

The paper added that 72 coronavirus genes were acquired and analyzed, and 8 mutations were found, of which 7 were consistent with those found in Europe.

He said that there is a possibility that the virus in the Sinfadi market was introduced from abroad.

China's state-run Global Times went one step further.

Recalling that last week the Chinese health authorities first detected a live coronavirus in a frozen cod wrapper, quoting experts, "If the gene sequence of this live virus matches that of a human, the virus is not in bats or pangolins, but in aquatic products. It shows the likelihood that it may have occurred."

It was also said that China could refute the claim that the coronavirus originated.

This is where the intention is fully read.
