What do you mean by epidemic watchers?

Epidemic situation observers refer to people who have had close contact with infectious disease patients or suspected infectious disease patients, and take centralized isolation measures according to the longest incubation period of infectious diseases to observe their health status.

Centralized medical observation can effectively prevent pathogens from spreading to others by preventing potential close contacts from staying in society or contacting with family members, and can also treat patients in close contacts as soon as possible.

The correlation is as follows

Observation measures

Those who have fever or respiratory symptoms during medical observation should be immediately sent to designated medical institutions for medical isolation treatment under effective protective conditions. Restricting suspected or confirmed cases is an important measure to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

According to the law, all units and individuals in China must accept prevention and control measures such as investigation, inspection, sample collection and isolation treatment of infectious diseases by disease control institutions and medical institutions. Among them, patients with Class A infectious diseases should be treated in isolation, and the isolation period should be determined according to the results of medical examination; Suspected patients should be treated in isolation at designated places before diagnosis, or be kept in detention according to the incubation period of infectious diseases.
