A confirmed case of COVID-19 was found in Xiamen. Where is the source of infection?

A confirmed case of COVID-19 was found in routine screening of key population in Xiamen. The recent activity track of this case is clear, and relevant personnel have implemented control measures. Official website, the Health and Wellness Committee of Xiamen City, showed that there were no confirmed cases or asymptomatic infected persons reported in Xiamen, so the source of infection of this case is unlikely to be related to the local epidemic situation discovered in the early stage or the centralized medical observers.

The nucleic acid test was done every day for three days before the diagnosis of this confirmed case, indicating that it should be a high-risk group, and the frequency of testing is once a day. According to this frequency, it is likely to be the staff of the fever clinic of medical institutions, or the staff related to entry work, import cold chain and contact with international mail. Prior to this, Xiamen has conducted regular nucleic acid testing for key populations in key industries. Including all kinds of facade markets, it is obvious that this patient does not belong to this group.

Xiamen Municipal Government of Fujian Province held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control. The origin of Xiamen epidemic is imported cases from other places and spread in densely populated areas. The epidemic is severe and complicated. COVID-19 epidemic? External defense investment and internal defense rebound? The situation is grim. ?

Epidemic prevention departments often appeal to the general public to fully understand the complexity and uncertainty of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, strengthen personal protection, standardize wearing masks, wash hands frequently, avoid gathering, go out less, keep a safe social distance, and implement normalized epidemic prevention and control measures. Wear masks and disposable gloves when contacting express delivery and articles in overseas and domestic high-risk areas, and disinfect internal and external packages. Wash hands and change masks in time after handling. In this case, it is very likely that drivers, stevedores and other staff members who are in direct contact with international mail. In this case, it is most likely that they are infected by contaminated mail. The above is an estimate based on the technical level.

Epidemic prevention and control is no joke. Life and health are more important than anything else. May everything be well in Xiamen, the country and the people be safe, the epidemic will end at an early date and life will get better and better.
