What is the initial screening positive?
1 initial screening is the first person who has nucleic acid test or the screening result is positive. He is likely to be infected with the new coronavirus, but he cannot be diagnosed. He still needs to undergo re-checking and re-examination by the superior disease control department to rule out false positive . What procedures will be taken to review and diagnose and type the initial screening positive?
. After the re-test, the nucleic acid is still positive. is a new coronavirus infection (or positive infection) . At this time, the clinician will diagnose and type based on clinical symptoms, blood routine and chest CT examination results. If there are no clinical symptoms and no obvious abnormalities in blood and chest CT results, they will be diagnosed with novel coronavirus infection ( asymptomatic infection ).
If you experience clinical symptoms such as fever, fatigue, loss of smell (odor) or loss of odor, or if you have abnormalities such as EXPOSITIONAL lesions in the chest CT examination, you will be diagnosed as confirmed case , that is, novel coronavirus pneumonia .

What is a positive infection?
positive infection refers to patients who have been positive for the nucleic acid test of the novel coronavirus and are still positive after review by the superior institution, including asymptomatic infections and confirmed cases.
What is an asymptomatic infection? What is the difference between asymptomatic infections and confirmed cases?
Asymptomatic infections and confirmed cases are both people who have positive nucleic acid tests for the new coronavirus. The main difference between is the clinical manifestations and chest CT results .
Asymptomatic infection:
Usually people do not have symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, loss of smell (sniff) sense or lack of taste, and no abnormalities such as exudative lesions were found after chest CT examination. However, if the nucleic acid test result of the novel coronavirus is positive, it is called an asymptomatic infection.
Confirmed cases:
refers to the positive nucleic acid test result of the novel coronavirus, accompanied by clinical symptoms such as fever, cough or dry cough, sore throat, loss of smell (olfactory) sense, loss of blood, or abnormalities such as exudative lesions during chest CT examination. It is diagnosed as novel coronavirus pneumonia. According to the severity, it can be divided into four types: mild, ordinary, severe, and critical.
What treatment measures should be taken for different types of infected people?
National "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Ninth Edition)" clearly states that patients infected with the new coronavirus should be classified and admitted to
- mild and asymptomatic infections, and admitted to square hospital ;
- ordinary, severe, and high-risk infections should be admitted to designated hospitals.
Asymptomatic infected people generally do not need to receive special treatment, but they are contagious, so they need to be isolated and medical observation. Some cases may have relevant clinical manifestations in the future and can be converted into confirmed cases.
Confirmed cases need to be isolated and treated in designated hospitals, mainly general treatment and drug treatment.While resting in bed, supporting nutrition, monitoring vital signs, comprehensive treatments such as Paxlovid tablets (Paxlovid), Lianhua Qingwen Capsules , Chinese Medicine Decoctions, etc. are selected according to clinical classification and high-risk factors.
