National Health Commission: Over 90% of asymptomatic infections and mild cases

China News, March 18 (Reporter Zhang Ni) On the 18th, Jiao Yahui, director of the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission, responded to the revision of the “New Coronary Virus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan” at a press conference of the State Council Information Office. , In the current epidemic prevention and control process, some places have chosen special centralized isolation facilities, such as Shandong and Jilin, which have adopted the practice of makeshift hospitals. For those with mild and asymptomatic infections to be treated in centralized isolation management facilities, it does not mean that they are left alone. In the ninth edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan, it is also required that the centralized isolation management facilities for these cases should also be equipped with certain medical personnel. She emphasized that, based on current practice, about 95% are asymptomatic infections and mild cases. In addition, if a case is found to have a change in condition and a tendency to worsen, it should be promptly transferred to a designated hospital for centralized treatment.
