China .. new rules to deal with the "silent infected persons" with coronavirus


    The Chinese government said health centers should report cases of newly confirmed coronavirus infection, but without Covid 19 symptoms within two hours of diagnosis.

In a document released Wednesday evening, the State Council of China issued formal guidelines regarding cases that have been confirmed to have had 19 disease, but without any symptoms such as cough, fever and pneumonia.


The move comes at a time when China recorded a daily increase in the number of infections with the Corona virus who did not show symptoms of the disease from Chinese citizens and foreigners.
China announced, on Wednesday, that 56 cases of the virus were recorded from those who do not show symptoms of the disease, 28 of whom are foreign expatriates, to bring the total number of undiagnosed cases who are under medical supervision in the country 1104, according to the Chinese newspaper"South China Morning Post" .


The document pointed out that patients who do not suffer from symptoms of the disease are contagious, and they pose a risk by spreading the infection and transmitting the virus to others, adding that some cases have been confirmed but without the appearance of accompanying symptoms, which means that these symptoms will appear later in the infection.
"We must enhance the scope of testing and monitoring of infected cases without symptoms, and standardize the reporting system for those patients who do not have symptoms of the disease," she added.

The guidelines recommended that local health institutions report these cases within two hours of positive disease test results.
Hence, district health authorities must report these cases within 24 hours through the central reporting system for infectious diseases nationwide.


The guidelines stress the increasing importance of the Chinese authorities for managing and assessing the risks posed by asymptomatic patients, as cases without symptoms threaten Beijing's efforts to contain the virus, despite the fact that the number of patients with symptoms has decreased significantly since January.


According to the new guidelines, cases confirmed with Covid 19 disease without accompanying symptoms can only leave health facilities after 14 days and after confirming the negative results of their medical exams twice.
They must also return to undergo tests in the second and fourth weeks of leaving the hospital, as is the case for procedures followed for patients who have symptoms.
Once symptoms appear, the document says, they will be immediately sent for medical treatment, and all people who have been contacted and who do not have symptoms of the emerging coronavirus will be isolated and monitored.

mother's Day

This appeared in the desire of Western and European thinkers, after they found children in their societies neglecting their mothers and not giving their full care to them, so they wanted to make a day of the year to remind the children of their mothers. Later, the scope of the celebrants widened to become celebrated in many days and in various cities in the world, and most often it is celebrated in the month of March, April or May.

With Corona's outbreak, Trump is considering "difficult decision" announcement

    As the new Corona virus continues to claim lives in the United States, President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that he is considering a plan to stop trips to the most affected areas of the Corona virus in the United States. The United States is struggling to contain the deadly epidemic, which US sources have reported may take the lives of at least 100,000 people. "We certainly look at that, but once this step is taken, we are actually imposing restrictions on a much-needed industry," Trump said during a White House press briefing. The move would stop air traffic at airports in New York, New Orleans and Detroit, which are severely affected by the Corona virus. "We're looking at the whole thing," Trump said of halting domestic flights, which have already shrunk considerably, as a result of falling demand. 884 people have died of the corona virus emerging in the United States during the past 24 hours, in the highest daily toll recorded i...
