The new crown pneumonia epidemic is heating up, with 14 new domestic cases and 122 imported cases in China today. Among the local cases, 11 are in New Taipei and 3 are in Keelung. The source of infection is yet to be clarified. Among them, a technology factory in New Taipei detected 10 cases in one go, of which 1 was a nationality, and the rest were volunteers. The factory has been suspended. In addition, Keelung just reported 1 new case, which has not yet been included in today’s case. He once took photos with Keelung Mayor Lin Youchang without wearing a mask. The command center has advised Lin Youchang to take an inspection first and isolate for 3 days before making a judgment.
In a technology factory in Xinbei, a Vietnamese migrant worker (case 22556) was the earliest confirmed case. He had a fever on March 23 and was diagnosed after seeking medical treatment the next day. After the migrant workers were diagnosed, the company listed 1,138 people, 208 people have been tested, and 9 people were found to be positive, of which 1 was an employee of nationality, and the rest were Vietnamese employees. Work has been discontinued.
In addition, Xinbei today also added a new case, a man in his 30s (case 22598), who was an operator. The man became ill on March 23, and was found to be positive after seeing a doctor the next day, with a Ct value of 12.7.New Taipei
Among the 3 cases in Keelung, a woman in her 40s (case 22595) fell ill on March 24 and was diagnosed with a positive Ct value of 13.4. Another male police officer in his 50s who traveled with him (case 22596) also continued to be diagnosed. The man was asymptomatic and had a Ct value of 27. The other confirmed case was a friend of the woman (case 22597), a woman in her 30s who was asymptomatic and was detected by Kuanglie with a Ct value of 13.7.
Commander Chen Shizhong said that a police colleague was newly infected with the virus just now, and it has not been included in today’s case. Because he participated in the award ceremony and won the award, he and Lin Youchang took pictures at close range without wearing masks. Inspection, quarantine for 3 days and then take another inspection, and then make a judgment.
As for imported cases, there are 66 cases from Vietnam (66 cases), Indonesia (5 cases), Hong Kong (3 cases), Germany, the United States and Malaysia (2 cases each), Japan, New Zealand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Cambodia, Switzerland, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore (1 case each) entered the country, and another 31 cases are under investigation.
Commander Chen Shizhong explained that there have been many people entering the country recently, including Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. The positive rate in Vietnam has been very high in recent days. On the one hand, it can be said that the PCR test may not be very accurate, and the local infection rate is 7 days. The average is 270,000 to 280,000, ranking second in the world. Yesterday, a plane came from Vietnam, and 53 people were found to be positive. Other people are also at risk. I believe that there should be other people in this group.
A total of 23 flights were tested yesterday, and 89 of the 1,148 people were found to be positive, with a positive rate of 7.75%. Among the positive cases, 5 were sent to the enhanced centralized quarantine center and the epidemic prevention hotel, and the other 4 were evacuated to the hospital. As for this morning, 6 flights were tested, and 5 of the 455 people were found to be positive, or 1.10%.
Up to now, there have been a total of 22,463 confirmed cases, 135 empty cases and 853 deaths in China. A total of 7 transmission chains have yet to be clarified for infection sources that have not yet expired for monitoring. After deducting Midi Kindergarten, today’s Shulin Technology Factory, Zhonghe Operator, and Keelung Police Cases were added, as well as the recent Kaohsiung Chemical Factory, Chiayi Wedding Banquet, and Beishi Peace Hospital. , Xinbei Shenkeng to accompany the sick woman.
Chen Shizhong said that from the inspection results of the Kaohsiung Chemical Plant and the first and second circles of the Chiayi wedding banquet, the epidemic has been controlled. In addition, the Ct value of the woman who accompanied the patient in Shenkeng was very high, and the threat was not very high. All 7 family members were negative, 6 of the 7 friends were negative, and 1 person was tested and seemed to be relatively non-threatening. As for the nurses at the Peace Hospital, so far only the nurses and their family members have gathered. The possible source should be an imported case from outside Malaysia. After the sequence is released, it will be known whether it is the source of infection.
In the face of the current epidemic, the outside world is concerned about whether the border opening before the end of the year is expected? Chen Shizhong responded. I still emphasize that it depends on the overall changes in conditions. So far, the epidemic situation in the world is not shrinking. Some time ago, there were less than 1.5 million people per day. Recently, it is 1.8 million and 1.9 million.
