    Novel coronavirus pneumonia, a senior member of the National Health Protection Committee, and Zhong Nan Shan, academician of the China Academy of engineering, were interviewed by CCTV reporter on the 24 day of the CCTV reporter's latest public opinion on new "crown" pneumonia "unconventional" cases and the level of emergency response 1 how to interpret novel coronavirus pneumonia "unconventional" cases (i.e throat swab test negative, but fecal test positive)? Zhong Nanshan: at present, negative throat swab test is the discharge standard Some patients have anal swabs or feces tests (positive), which only detect nucleic acid fragments, not live virus, which is different Therefore, I don't think it's surprising that a few patients have a positive nucleic acid fragment after discharge These patients need to continue to observe for two weeks, long-term isolation after reexamination However, this phenomenon is worthy of vigilance 2 Is "unconventional" disease regular meeting an example? Zhong Nanshan: it's a minority, not an example According to the current test standard, the two throat swabs are negative, without any clinical symptoms, and the temperature and CT test data are normal, so they can be discharged from the hospital If we adjust the current test standard, the results of patients' anal swab test are also completely negative, which is easy to cause patients' backlog and affect the follow-up diagnosis and treatment I suggest that these patients should be managed at different levels and closely observed 3 Recently, some provinces have lowered their emergency response levels one after another Has the time come? What is the reason for Guangdong's downward adjustment? Zhong Nanshan: I think it's time to lower it As far as Guangdong is concerned, the number of new cases in most cities has decreased significantly, which is the premise In addition, the awareness of prevention and control has been greatly improved At present, we are in the second level of emergency response and take the first level of prevention and control measures The first level response is not applied everywhere The reduction of the emergency response level of Guangdong Province to the second level means classified treatment, which is the core I think this is appropriate On the one hand, it should be tight and loose On the other hand, it is beneficial to the development of production 4 Have you ever said that the public should be prepared to deal with coronavirus for a long time, including new coronavirus? Should the public always adhere to the current prevention and control measures? Zhong Nanshan: the level of prevention and control should be lowered, but the awareness should be maintained This time, the virus is spread among people Any coronavirus infection should be highly vigilant against human infection The awareness of prevention and control needs to be maintained, and the level of prevention and control can be completely changed 5 Will the new coronavirus last as long as influenza? Zhong Nanshan: it still needs time to consider At present, SARS virus appears sporadically in the coronavirus, but there is no climate Whether the new coronavirus will exist normally and for a long time, but there is no outbreak situation It is also possible that the key to prevention and control is to control it to the minimum I don't think it's entirely possible that the new coronavirus will become a normal like influenza 37
