Wu Zunyou: Beijing is expected to lower its response level within ten days

, July 14 (Xinhua) -- As of 24 hours on July 13, Beijing has not confirmed any new cases of coronary pneumonia for eight consecutive days. At present, the high-risk areas of The New Crown outbreak in Beijing have all been cleared. Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told China News Agency on the 14th that Beijing should not have any new cases related to the outbreak, and the response level of public health incidents is expected to be adjusted within 10 days.
Wu Zunyou said that the virus to continue to infect people will spread in the community, in order to survive. There is no new source of native cases, "Don't give it (the virus) to eat, it doesn't starve to death?" Wu
said there were no high-risk areas in Beijing, with the medium-risk areas falling below a certain percentage and the corresponding response level likely to be adjusted. It is estimated that within one week to ten days, within ten days, it is estimated that the possibility of adjustment (to level 3) is relatively high.
he also noted that the public need not be too fussed about the introduction of sporadic cases, including the possibility of localised small-scale transmission of cases, in the event that the outbreak will return. As routes are gradually liberalized, the number of imported cases will increase, but will not have a major impact on social order, people's lives and jobs.
" can clearly say that there will not be a scenario as serious as Wuhan, this is the first, and the second, the possibility of the emergence of new places like Beijing, re-emergence of aggregation and proliferation caused by the Northeast, is also very small. Wu Zunyou said.
disease control expert also pointed out that wearing masks, attention to hand hygiene, ventilation and other hygiene habits, not only to prevent the new coronavirus, but also to prevent other respiratory diseases. Even if the outbreak is over, people should still be normalized.
Wu Zunyou gives an example of how we don't know the trajectory of strangers when they're in public places for a while, or whether they're at other risks. "So it's important to wear masks in confined environments, in poorly ventilated places, to improve hand hygiene and keep social distances, and these measures should be maintained."
he believes there is little risk of spreading the new coronavirus through fresh food. Supermarkets sell items mainly produced in china, imported goods for inspection and then sold there is no risk. "Emphasis on hand hygiene is not excessive and is a good protective measure."
