New crown pneumonia | Liang Zichao: Inadequate tracking of the infection chain causes cross-infection

[09:00] Liang Zichao, chairman of the Infectious Disease Advisory Committee of the Medical Association, said that he believes that the market epidemic is more likely to be related to the community outbreak. He estimated that after the patient entered the market, the fish stalls were infected due to the high crowds, and they would contact others in their spare time. People who have cross-infection, think that the patient tracking is not enough at the stage, and people in the fish stall should be screened first, and further expanded to the entire market, otherwise the chain of transmission cannot be cut.

[08:30] Yesterday, there was a new case of asymptomatic infection in Shenzhen, from Hong Kong. In addition, there were 27 new cases in Mainland China yesterday. There were 22 local infections, all in Xinjiang.
