The State Council Office announced at a press conference that starting tomorrow, the National Health and Medical Commission will hold a press conference every morning (27th) to report the epidemic situation.
According to Ma Xiaowei, from the perspective of gene sequencing, the new coronavirus is different from SARS and MESR. The new coronavirus is contagious during the incubation period, which is very different from SARS. The outbreak is expected to continue for some time.
He pointed out that from the point of view of transmission characteristics, the patient's early body temperature was not high or normal, there were many mild cases, the infectivity of the virus had increased, and the source of infection walking greatly increased the difficulty of prevention and control. The understanding of new coronaviruses is still very limited, and the source of infection has not yet been found. The mechanism of transmission and the risk of mutation are unclear. In other words, for a new infectious disease, there will be some new situations in the period when the virus changes, and the degree of harm of the virus to people of different ages also changes.
He said that according to the experience during the SARS period, it took three to four months from the discovery to the outbreak. From the observations of some early mild patients, the incubation period was about 10 days, the shortest incubation period was one day, and the longest was The incubation period is 14 days. The incubation period is contagious, which is very different from SARS.
He said that from the speed of the development of the epidemic, the epidemic will continue for some time, and it is a possible phenomenon that some cases will increase in the future. With the implementation of personnel control measures in Wuhan, corresponding measures on health emergencies at the first level have been proposed throughout the country. The prevention and control efforts will be further strengthened. The prevention and control measures will gradually take effect within a period of time, and the intensity of the epidemic will be Will fall.

If necessary, make constant adjustments, and these adjustments are made in accordance with laws and regulations, and measures are taken based on experience accumulated in the actual fight against infectious diseases. Experts estimate that the spread of the epidemic is expected to be curbed, the intensity of the epidemic will be weakened, and the peak of the epidemic will be delayed, so as to gain time for the next stage of more effective prevention and control.
Liu Xiaoming, deputy minister of the Ministry of Transport, said that transportation is a possible way to spread the virus, so some cities have restrictions on transportation methods, which can effectively block the virus transmission channel in this way.

Wang Jiangping said that several measures have been taken to strengthen material security. The first is the general mobilization of the national industrial information system. Various agencies and production enterprises have overcome various difficulties and have tried everything to resume work and production. The second is to establish a dispatching system for key prevention and control material production enterprises. The third is to actively promote the establishment of a national temporary reserve system for prevention and control materials to ensure the procurement reserves for prevention and control materials. The fourth is to guide the e-commerce platform to control prices, flow, and reasonable delivery, and establish a supply and demand mechanism for e-commerce. The fifth is to do everything possible to ensure the demand for Wuhan prevention and control materials.
He pointed out that the demand list provided by Hubei Province is roughly 100,000 pieces of medical protective clothing per day and 3 million pieces per month. However, there are only 40 companies that meet China's standard production capacity licenses, distributed in 14 provinces. The total production capacity is only 30,000 units per day, and the contradiction between supply and demand is very prominent. In addition, China does have a part of its production capacity for export, which is about 50,000 sets per day. However, it does not take the Chinese standard license to switch to domestic sales and it will take some time.
