The new crown epidemic has lasted for nearly two years. The Department of Health used to refer to cases that were positive after a review test as "confirmed" cases. However, as 2022 enters into 2022, the Department will change its previous practice in a press announcement and break down positive cases. For confirmed, asymptomatic infections and reyang cases, the classification method is in line with that of the mainland cases.

Macau announced last month that in order to facilitate the connection between Macau’s prevention and control measures and the Mainland, it adopted the State Council’s classification and definition of new coronary pneumonia cases, and separately counted confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections.
Hong Kong has also followed the pace from January 1. The Department of Health yesterday (1st) changed its previous practice in a press announcement by subdividing positive test cases into "confirmed", "asymptomatic infection" and "rejuvenating" cases, and mainland cases The classification method is the same.
For example, there were 17 "positive test cases" yesterday, of which 5 were "confirmed" and 12 were "asymptomatic infections". However, the number of "cumulative cases" included "asymptomatic infections".
At present, the mainland divides cases into "confirmed" and "asymptomatic infections."
"Confirmed" cases must have symptoms, and "asymptomatic infections" have no relevant clinical symptoms.
When an asymptomatic infected person develops symptoms, it will be converted to a "diagnosed".

When, the fusing mechanism needs to be activated.
