Experts say the scale of the epidemic in Xianyou, Fujian will not be too small?

Yes, epidemiological experts pointed out that one thing needs to be clear. Xianyou is the end of the transmission chain, and there are many nodes in the previous upstream, such as whether positive results are found in the environment of the isolation point hotel. The sample, from Xiamen to Xianyou, Lin Moujie’s movement trajectory and close contacts during this process, must be thoroughly investigated.

Moreover, Xianyou County’s isolation control measures and social governance level are far from comparable to those in big cities. Just like this year’s Shijiazhuang epidemic, a certain degree of invisible transmission had already formed when it was discovered. “You just need to listen. In whichever county the case was detected, it was actually relatively late, and there must have been problems upstream," the expert said. "Judging from the current situation, the scale of this epidemic will not be too small."

At present, five villages in Fengting Town, including Xinan, Xibei, Jianguo, Putou and Xiufeng, where the six positive cases in Xianyou live, have been under lockdown management. There are five new medium-risk areas in the local area, namely Xiufeng Village, Gengfeng Village, Jiushe Village, Lanyou Community, and Xiajie Community in Fengting Town, Xianyou County, which are medium-risk areas, and two high-risk areas: Xianyou County Putou Community and Linshan Village, Fengting Town.
