At present, the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic in China has been basically blocked. However, the COVID-19 asymptomatic infections have attracted much attention.
"The same strict measures as the confirmed cases have been treated are adopted on the asymptomatic infections as well. They will be under very strict management, quarantine, and medical observation after they are discovered." Li Qun says, "Asymptomatic infections should be concentrated for 14 days’ medical observation. Once the symptoms are developed, they will be transferred to the designated hospitals for treatments. And they will be converted as confirmed cases in real time as long as they are definitely diagnosed. After 2 negative nucleic acid tests, the concentrated medical observation can be lifted, but 2 weeks of health follow-up is still required. Furthermore, they must go to designated hospitals for re-examinations in the second week and the fourth week. And close contacts of asymptomatic infections will also have to accept a 14 days’ medical observation. " How should the public protect themselves?
In response to some people’s panic emotion on asymptomatic infections, Tong Zhaohui says that close contacts of confirmed cases are the main source of asymptomatic infections. People who have not been exposed to COVID-19 patients are generally not infected. So there is no need to be panicked. Li Qun says: "The public needs to be aware of the risk of infection, but there is no need to worry too much. When it is impossible to distinguish whether there are asymptomatic infections around, it is more important to do personal protection." Experts generally believe that ordinary people without any symptom and suspicious contact history do not need to do nucleic acid test. Large-scale screening of the general population is neither feasible nor necessary. What the public needs to do is to do personal protection, develop good hygiene habit, increase nutrition, rest well, and improve self-immunity.
