All the 5 confirmed cases in Beijing have been to Hangkong Temple in Datong, Shanxi. Is the close contact infected?

All the five confirmed cases in Beijing have been to Hangkong Temple in Datong, Shanxi Province, and all the people who have had close contact with these five people have done nucleic acid tests, and the results of nucleic acid tests are all negative. No one has been found infected so far. Even such a result cannot guarantee that these close contacts will not be infected. People who have had close contact with the treatment and diagnosis of patients will take isolated observation measures.

First, nucleic acid detection is a necessary method. Since the emergence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the intensity and methods of epidemic prevention have been optimized and upgraded. At present, nucleic acid detection is the most convenient and effective method. Many infected people were quickly diagnosed by nucleic acid testing. So cut off the transmission chain in time to prevent more people from being infected.

After five COVID-19 patients were diagnosed in Beijing this time, we found that several people have been to the Hanging Temple in Datong, Shanxi Province by adjusting their life trajectories. This situation was reported to the aviation temple management department, so close contacts were searched and nucleic acids were detected in time.

Fortunately, the nucleic acid test results of close contacts were all negative, indicating that no one was infected because of these five people.

Second, close contacts will be observed in isolation. Although nucleic acid detection is an effective means of epidemic prevention, it can not fully and accurately reflect whether close contacts are infected by virus. Some patients were diagnosed as COVID-19's disease only after 3-4 times of nucleic acid detection, and the test results were positive.

In order to prevent this from happening, epidemic prevention personnel will observe these close contacts in isolation for about 14 days. During this period, many nucleic acid tests will be carried out until the isolation observation is lifted and the nucleic acid tests of close contacts are always negative, before returning to normal life.

Our work and life will be affected by the epidemic. If you want to return to normal life as soon as possible, you need to cooperate with the epidemic prevention work, actively do personal protection, and realize the people's fight against the epidemic.
