Why is the ratio of confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections in Shanghai so different? Interpretation by the director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention

Yesterday, Shanghai added 31 local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 865 local asymptomatic infections. Fengqiao Nanzhai, Lianqin Village, Beicai Town, Pudong New Area, was listed as a medium-risk area. Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Municipal Health and Health Commission, said that it is not true that more than 8,000 cases have been diagnosed in Cai Dongbei, Pudong.

Fu Chen, director of the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said when answering a question from the media “Why the proportion of confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections is so different?” strength, vaccination, methods of discovery, etc. Fu Chen said that with the development of the disease, some asymptomatic infected people will show clinical symptoms and turn into confirmed cases, which is a dynamic process. At the same time, asymptomatic infections are also contagious. He reminded the public to continue to do personal protection in their daily lives.
