Novel coronavirus infection pneumonia [Expert: When there are no typical symptoms in the incubation period of the novel coronavirus, it may be contagious] The reporter learned from the director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Zhejiang University First Hospital, deputy director of the National Key Laboratory for Infectious Disease Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases, and member of the Zhejiang Provincial Expert Group for Treating Pneumonia Infections in the Diagnosis and Treatment of New Coronavirus Infections that according to the case of confirmed pneumonia in Zhejiang Province, when there are no typical symptoms in the incubation period, it is contagious. "We met a patient who came to Hangzhou from Wuhan to attend a meeting. When he arrived in Hangzhou, he did not get sick, and there were no typical symptoms such as cough and fever. But not long after, several colleagues he had come into contact with were infected and symptoms appeared one after another. But at this time, he still did not get sick. It was not until the meeting ended and returned to Wuhan that he did not get sick after two days." Sheng Jifang introduced. Sheng Jifang said that after different people are infected with the novel coronavirus, the course of the disease and clinical symptoms may vary greatly. Maybe this person will have symptoms immediately after being infected, while another person will have no obvious symptoms during the incubation period after being infected. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary citizens to identify. The "Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan for the New Coronavirus Infection (Second Edition)" released by the National Health Commission on the evening of the 222nd mentioned that based on the current understanding of pneumonia infected with the new coronavirus, the maximum incubation period of the disease is about 14 days. "This case tells everyone that even in the incubation period and when there are no typical symptoms, it is already contagious." Sheng Jifang said. "If you come back from Wuhan or have contact with the epidemic source, you should be self-isolated. Do not contact others during the quarantine period, and do not spread the virus to your family, colleagues, and friends. This is very important." Sheng Jifang hopes that people who have come out of Wuhan but have not yet reached 14 days should be self-isolated, or those with symptoms should go to the hospital for screening in time for effective treatment.
