htmlOn March 29, the Office of the Leading Group for Joint Prevention and Control of the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic in Gansu Province confirmed that a person who returned to work from Xianning City, Hubei Province to Gansu, although he held the Hubei health code green code, he was diagnosed with a new coronavirus pneumonia patient through nucleic acid test during centralized isolation. The infection route of the newly confirmed patient cannot be determined. It may be that he was infected on his way back to Gansu, or that he had been infected while in Hubei. His lungs had a slightly ground-glass-like shadow, but there were no other symptoms except fatigue. Moreover, when he was in his hometown in Hubei, he was quarantined at home for more than a month. He had never been in contact with a confirmed patient before. He returned to Gansu through self-driving and wearing a mask. If it weren't for the positive nucleic acid test, it would be almost impossible for him to find out that he had COVID-19. In the interview, he described in detail the situation of returning to Gansu from Hubei and said that he did not know how to be infected.
newly confirmed patient holds the Hubei health code green code, but is eventually diagnosed, but it cannot conclude that the health code issuance or even the health code itself is problematic.
health code has a red code, a yellow code and a green code. The specific classification standards of each place are similar. According to the regulations of relevant departments in Hubei, the systematic comparison and verification found that the applicant's records were confirmed cases, suspected cases, fever cases, and asymptomatic infections, and red codes were issued. The system comparison and verification found that the applicant was recorded as a close contact with in charge, and the yellow code was issued. Applicants whose records have not been found will be issued with a green code. The newly confirmed patients above did not have fever, and they did not have clinical symptoms such as fatigue, and they also had no clinical symptoms such as coughing. Obtaining a green code is completely in line with the regulations. Those who obtain green codes can pass directly. Although newly confirmed patients return from low-risk areas, according to regulations, people returning from Hubei must be quarantined in centralized isolation, so they are diagnosed during the quarantine period. His two peers and his family who have lived with him for more than a month have both tested negative for nucleic acid. If he follows the regulations of the previous period, he will not even be diagnosed with his condition without clinical symptoms.
People with green codes were diagnosed, which cannot indicate that the health code is ineffective in epidemic prevention. After all, confirmed patients are only a very small number of people returning to the city to resume work and production, accounting for only one hundred thousand. The value of the health code is to provide convenient access permits for other 99.9% of healthy people returning to the city, which can also greatly reduce the cost of epidemic prevention and allow limited resources to concentrate to where they need more. The health code model is not only effective, but also should accelerate the realization of national mutual recognition and communication, which is itself part of scientific epidemic prevention.
It should be noted that the health code cannot be left out, but it does not mean that cross-regional epidemic prevention can be solved by relying on the health code. On the contrary, if relaxes his vigilance because of the health code and does not improve other prevention and control methods, it is likely to bring risks to prevention and control. health code can only play a rough screening role. Since applicants rely on self-declaration, even if most applicants do not have the idea of concealing it, it is difficult to accurately judge their own insignificant symptoms due to lack of medical knowledge, and there are also asymptomatic infections. These increase the possibility that the health code will miss confirmed patients and even issue green codes to virus carriers.
health code is not only not omnipotent, but its specific effect is actually very limited. You can only roughly select people who are likely to be healthy. However, because these people are huge, from the perspective of social benefits, the convenience brought by health code is very considerable. As for how to screen out confirmed and suspected patients in these people, other detailed epidemic prevention measures are needed. For example, shortly after the newly confirmed patient returned to Gansu Province, Gansu Province changed its policy to people returning from low-risk areas in Hubei without centralized isolation. However, on March 30, Gansu Province adjusted the prevention and control plan due to the patient's diagnosis, requiring people returning to Gansu to report to the community in advance and undergo nucleic acid tests as soon as possible after arriving. If the negative test is performed, the second test will be performed 7 days later. If both tests are negative, they can resume work and travel normally. The adjusted prevention and control plan is obviously much more scientific than the green code personnel who returned from Hubei who were previously isolated or pass through.Other regions may also adjust prevention and control plans in a timely and dynamic manner based on the latest development status of the epidemic such as asymptomatic infections, and effectively prevent the epidemic in combination with the use of health codes.
health code is a very important means of epidemic prevention. There is no need to deny a person with a green code because he is diagnosed. ’s healthy attitude towards health codes is that you cannot be uncoded, nor can you only code them. epidemic prevention and control requires a combination of thickness and fineness, and continuously optimize the epidemic prevention methods. There is no need to be a soldier in the grass and trees, and you must not relax your vigilance.
