Analysis of the epidemiological data of the previously released cases of pneumonitis infected by the new coronavirus found that some cases had no history of contact with the South China Seafood Wholesale Market. On the basis of standardizing pre-screening triage and fever diagnosis, optimized test kits were used to sample and monitor unidentified pneumonia cases for fever diagnosis and isolation in the city, and 17 new types of coronavirus positive were detected. After comprehensive research and judgment by clinical experts, 17 cases were confirmed as confirmed cases , and all were treated in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital and related designated hospitals . Of the 17 newly diagnosed cases, 3 were severe cases. The next step will continue to carry out the detection of suspected cases in the city. As of 24:00 on January 17, 62 cases of pneumonitis with new coronavirus infection have been reported in our city, 19 cases have been cured and discharged, 8 cases are being treated in severe cases, and 2 cases have died. The remaining patients are in stable condition. Institution receives isolation treatment. A total of 763 close contacts have been tracked, 681 medical observations have been lifted, and 82 people are still receiving medical observations. Among the close contacts, no related cases were found. Epidemiological investigations of new cases and follow-up investigations of close contacts are ongoing. http://wjw.wuhan.gov.cn/front/web/showDetail/2020011909074 January 18, 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) About the new cases of pneumonia of new coronavirus infection in Wuhan (January 18, 2020) Issuing authority: Wuhan City health committee | Published: 2020-01-19 00:43:40 | Hits: 4666 | Font Size: Da Zhong Small On January 17, 2020, national and provincial experts screened some cases of unexplained pneumonia that were screened by community health service centers in the city, and found and treated in various hospitals, based on their clinical manifestations, epidemiological history, and optimization. The positive results of the novel coronavirus nucleic acid detected by the subsequent detection kit were comprehensively judged, and 17 cases of pneumonia cases with new coronavirus infection were newly identified. Of the 17 patients, 12 were males and 5 were females; 9 were under 60 years of age, 8 were 60 years of age and older, the youngest was 30 years old and the oldest was 79 years old; the onset date was before January 13, 2020; first symptoms Fever, cough, or fever with cough; 3 cases were severe, and the rest were stable.

Admin Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 World Health Organization Western PacificVerified account @WHOWPRO 1h1 hour ago More China has announced 17 new cases of #nCoV in Wuhan. This brings the total number of confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in China to 62. World Health Organization Western PacificVerified account @WHOWPRO 1h1 hour ago More Chinese authorities advise the new cases were found because of enhanced & expanded surveillance. Some appear not to be linked to Huanan market. Because of a Govt call last week to implement broader screening, cases may be identified in other parts of China in coming days & weeks. World Health Organization Western PacificVerified account @WHOWPRO 1h1 hour ago More According to the latest information received and @WHO analysis, there is evidence of limited human-to-human transmission of #nCOV. This is in line with experience with other respiratory illnesses and in particular with other coronavirus outbreaks. World Health Organization Western PacificVerified account @WHOWPRO 1h1 hour ago More While there is currently no clear evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission, we do not have enough evidence to evaluate the full extent of human-to-human transmission. This is one of the issues that @WHO is monitoring closely. World Health Organization Western PacificVerified account @WHOWPRO 1h1 hour ago More Human-to-human transmission is when people get infected after contact w/ droplets from infected person’s cough, sneeze. Sustained human-to-human transmission is when virus spreads easily from 1 person to another & onward; not limited to clusters e.g. family members, coworkers etc World Health Organization Western PacificVerified account @WHOWPRO 1h1 hour ago More Much remains to be understood about the new #coronavirus, including where it comes from and how it is transmitted. World Health Organization Western PacificVerified account @WHOWPRO FollowFollow @WHOWPRO More WHO is working closely with officials in China, Japan & Thailand and progress is underway. @WHO encourages all countries to continue preparedness activities. We have issued interim guidance on how to do this and will continue to update in consultation w/ experts across the globe. 7:45 PM - 18 Jan 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niman Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Coronavirus: China reports 17 new cases of Sars-like mystery virus Three of the new cases are severe, with experts worried about the disease’s spread ahead of lunar new year Staff carry a patient into the Jinyintan hospital, where patients infected by a mysterious Sars-like virus are being treated, in Wuhan. Photograph: STR/AFP via Getty Images China reported 17 new cases of the mysterious Sars-like virus on Sunday, including three in a severe condition, heightening fears ahead of China’s lunar new year holiday, when hundreds of millions of people move around the country. The new coronavirus strain has caused alarm because of its connection to severe acute respiratory syndrome, which killed nearly 650 people across mainland China and Hong Kong in 2002-03. Of the 17 new cases in the central city of Wuhan – believed to be the epicentre of the outbreak – three were described as “severe”, with two patients were too critical to be moved, authorities said. Those infected range from 30 to 79 years old. The virus has now infected 62 people in Wuhan, city authorities said, with eight in a severe condition, 19 cured and discharged from hospital, and the rest remaining in isolation receiving treatment. Two people have died so far from the virus, including a 69-year-old man who died on Wednesday after the disease caused pulmonary tuberculosis and damaged multiple organ functions. Authorities said they had begun “optimised” testing of pneumonia cases across the city to identify those infected, and would begin “detection work ... towards suspected cases in the city” as a next step, as well as carrying out “sampling tests”. Scientists with the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College in London warned in a paper published on Friday that the number of cases in the city was likely to be closer to 1,700, much higher than the number officially identified. Authorities said on Sunday that some of the cases had “no history of contact” with the seafood market believed to be the centre of the outbreak. No human-to-human transmission has been confirmed so far, but Wuhan’s health commission has previously said the possibility “cannot be excluded”. Three cases have also been reported overseas – two in Thailand and one in Japan. Although there has been no official announcement of screening measures on the mainland, Wuhan deputy mayor Chen Xiexin said on state broadcaster CCTV that infrared thermometers had been installed at airports, railway stations and coach stations across the city. Chen said passengers with fevers were being registered, given masks and taken to medical institutions, with nearly 300,000 body temperature tests carried out, according to CCTV. Authorities in Hong Kong have stepped up detection measures, including rigorous temperature checkpoints for inbound travellers from the Chinese mainland. The US said from Friday it would begin screening direct flights arriving from Wuhan at San Francisco airport and New York’s JFK, as well as Los Angeles, where many flights connect. Thailand said it was already screening passengers arriving in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket and would soon introduce similar controls in the beach resort of Krabi. Wuhan is a city of 11 million inhabitants that serves as a major transport hub, including during the annual lunar new year holiday starting this week, when hundreds of millions of Chinese people travel across the country to visit family. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/19/coronavirus-china-reports-17-new-cases-of-sars-like-mystery-virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
