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.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake hits Utah, cuts the power to tens of thousands, and stops flights

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Salt Lake City area on Wednesday morning, cutting tens of thousands of electricity and suspending work at a Utah public health laboratory in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic. The airport said that flights to Salt Lake International Airport were diverted, departure was delayed, and terminals and terminals cleared so that engineers could inspect the facilities. The US Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 10 miles west of Salt Lake City, near Magna, starting at 7:09 am (9:09 am ET). People gathered in Salt Lake City city center after they left their buildings due to shaking and stayed outside. This is the state's strongest earthquake since 1992, when a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck the St. George region, Utah's emergency management department said. The state’s Ministry of Health said that operations at the state’s public health laboratory were halted as the building was evaluated for damage. Th...

Panic in stores and markets on toilet paper and canned food

With the spread of the Corona virus around the world, shoppers are running around the markets, supermarkets and pharmacies either to fight the Corona virus or to prepare for possible quarantine. Early popular products were Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer. As with the spread of the virus in a large way, the demand has become steadily on toilet paper. Because of the panic, fear of the people, and the high turnout in stores, most stores have restricted what people can buy, as shoppers cannot purchase more than six antiseptic wipes, hand sanitizers, and hard wipes. But why is the toilet paper the last purchase without others? The behavior of people and their high demand for toilet paper has been explained by the fact that since people do not know how to interpret the virus, it raises the need to prepare in any way possible. Something they can buy they know they might need ... is toilet paper. With the spread of the epidemic around the world, people were seen rushing t...

A solar storm hits the earth on the first day of spring

Space weather forecasters have noticed a stream of solar winds coming toward us, which could hit Earth on March 19, the first day of spring. Scientists said that the solar wind could lead to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere. The stream of particles stems from the sun from a small hole on the surface of the sun, allowing winds to penetrate the solar system and move to its depths. The Space Weather website reported global predictions: "A small current from the solar wind is expected to hit the Earth's magnetic field on March 19, which may cause the twilight to occur around the Arctic Circle. The gaseous material flows from a newly opened hole in the sun's atmosphere." The aurora borealis occurs when solar particles strike the atmosphere, and when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, those atoms are excited to give different colors with diffe...
