On the evening of March 15, the National Health and Medical Commission released the “New Coronavirus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Trial Version 9)”, which adjusted the classification and treatment of cases. According to the Health and Health Commission, according to the opinions reflected in various places, “patients with Omicron variant strains are mainly asymptomatic infections and mild cases, most of them do not require excessive treatment, and all admission to designated hospitals will take up a lot of medical resources” and other opinions. , and further improved the classification and treatment measures of cases: First, centralized isolation management is implemented for light cases, and relevant centralized isolation places cannot isolate people entering the country, close contacts and other groups at the same time. During the isolation management period, symptomatic treatment and condition monitoring should be done. If the condition worsens, it should be transferred to a designated hospital for treatment.
How do you view the adjustment of the latest plan to classify and treat cases? Cai Weiping, chief expert of the Infectious Disease Center of the Eighth Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University, said that the above classification management was adjusted based on the treatment experience in the past few years. “Mild and asymptomatic patients basically do not need treatment. If there are too many infected people, they can be shunted. Mild and asymptomatic patients can be shunted to Fangcang shelter hospitals, and severe patients can enter the intensive care unit in advance, which is conducive to monitoring and promotes early treatment. .”
