China News Service, Guangzhou, June 10 (Cai Minjie and Cai Liangquan) From 0:00 to 24:00 on June 7, Guangdong Province reported 19 local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia.
Many people expressed doubts and concerns
.

In this regard, Lin Peng, chief scientist of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, interpreted this on the 10th

Lin Peng explained that out of the 19 confirmed cases mentioned above, only 10 were new cases; the other 9 cases were confirmed cases from local asymptomatic infections, which were not in the scope of new infections
.

The 10 newly confirmed cases were all in Guangzhou, and they were discovered from close contacts and key populations.

There are 10 new cases a day, does it mean that the epidemic situation is more severe? Lin Peng believes that the new Guangzhou upgrade 10 cases do not represent the epidemic, "just shows that our region is the science of control, we large-scale nucleic acid screening is effective"
.

Lin Peng said that of the 10 new cases, 9 cases were in the closed area of ​​Baihedong Street in Liwan District.
The area was closed for management on May 31, and personnel did not leave their homes
.

This shows that the chances of people who are currently screened out for infection through the community are very small, and they should have been infected before or between families

At present, nucleic acid testing is still a powerful means to quickly find people infected with new coronary pneumonia
.

The incubation period of the virus is long and short, and multiple rounds of screening are required to screen out those who have a long incubation period

“Guangdong also implements epidemic prevention and control in accordance with this idea
.

Close the control area and carry out nucleic acid testing in accordance with the prevention and control requirements; for the confirmed cases in Dashi Street, Panyu District, we identified them as close contacts through circulation and immediately adopted strict measures.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic on May 21, Guangdong Province has gradually expanded the scope of nucleic acid testing based on actual conditions.
Guangzhou and Foshan have implemented full-staff testing, and Shenzhen has carried out routine testing of quarantined personnel and screening and testing of key populations; on June 7, Guangdong Province The situation of epidemic prevention and control has initiated hierarchical and hierarchical nucleic acid testing in 10 prefecture-level cities including Zhuhai and Zhongshan, and rapidly promoted large-scale population screening in the Pearl River Delta region and key areas in the north, east and west of Guangdong
.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic last year, Guangdong Province has continuously strengthened its nucleic acid testing capabilities
.

At present, there are 752 medical institutions with nucleic acid testing capabilities in Guangdong Province, with a maximum daily nucleic acid testing capacity of 2.

Lin Peng reminded that the current epidemic prevention and control is at a critical period, and there is no way to relax
.

The general public must attach great importance to personal protection and do not take it lightly
