An asymptomatic infected person is a patient who shows no symptoms such as fever, cough and sore throat, but is positive for nucleic acid test. Asymptomatic? And? Nucleic acid positive? Is the most obvious label on them.
asymptomatic infected patients are scary because they are more concealed and contagious. They behave just like normal people every day, and they can't be distinguished without nucleic acid test.
In jia county, Henan Province, there is a typical case of asymptomatic patients infecting ordinary people. These patients are all doctors from jia county People's Hospital in Henan Province, and one of them once lived in Wuhan and returned to Henan before Wuhan was closed. During these 6 days, although this patient was infected with COVID-19, he had no symptoms at all. Not to mention coughing, not even sneezing.
It was not until after going to work that the doctor in the same department developed clinical symptoms of pneumonia. As a close contact, he had a nucleic acid test, only to find that he had already been infected with the virus. For more than 6 days, people's idea that the virus has a 14-day incubation period was completely broken. After this incident, jia county, Henan Province began to seal off villages and communities, just to make these asymptomatic infected patients contact the crowd less and avoid secondary infection.
National Health Commission decided to notify asymptomatic infected patients every day from April 1st. At present, there are more than 1, asymptomatic infected patients in China, which is the first time that asymptomatic infected patients have entered the public's field of vision and attracted people's attention.
However, paying attention does not mean over-interpreting. Professor Zhang Wenhong said in an interview before that there is no need to panic too much about asymptomatic infection patients, and there will be no second outbreak.
Because the surveillance system and epidemic prevention measures in China are quite perfect, there are very few patients with symptoms, let alone asymptomatic patients, and once they are found, they will be isolated, and their close contacts will be isolated simultaneously, and the transmission chain will be cut off quickly and accurately. Therefore, there is no need to panic, and the country will protect us.
