The latest epidemic data also shows that a series of measures have achieved obvious results. Positive positive factors have emerged in the local epidemic control in Wuhan, especially in the leading indicators such as new suspected cases.

New suspected cases in Wuhan fall below the 1,000-person threshold

According to the latest data released by the National Health and Medical Commission, as of 20:00 on February 10, 18,454 confirmed cases in Wuhan, accounting for nearly 60% of the total confirmed cases in Hubei Province; on the 10th, 1552 new cases were confirmed, which was significantly more than the previous day Down, a decrease of 19.21%.

From the index of cumulative diagnosed growth rate in Wuhan, it was 9.18% on February 10, falling below double digits for the first time in half a month. This can also alleviate the severe situation of the epidemic prevention and control from the side.

National Health and Medical Commission spokesman Mi Feng disclosed at the press conference on the 11th that, through analysis, Wuhan, the nation’s epidemic center city, the number of new suspected cases dropped from 2,071 on February 5 to the peak of February 10. 961 cases.

Mi Feng said that this shows that with Wuhan’s efforts to promote the centralized treatment of confirmed patients, the centralized isolation of suspected patients, the inability to exclude the close contact of fever patients and confirmed patients, and other measures, the suspect’s stock is accelerating shunting and digestion.

In this way, it can not only gain time for patients to receive standardized treatment, reduce the incidence of critical illness and critical illness, but also free up resources for testing and other suspected patients that may occur in the future, and win epidemics for Wuhan and even Hubei Province and the country. Preventing and controlling blocking operations has created conditions.

In addition to the improvement in the number of newly confirmed cases and the number of new suspected cases, the number of newly cured cases in Wuhan has also increased sharply, and it is currently maintained at a level of about 160 cases per day. After the epidemic situation is further controlled, it can be expected that the number of new cured cases in Wuhan will also increase significantly.

Zhang Dingyu, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, also emphasized on the evening of the 10th that New Crown Pneumonia is a self-limiting disease. The cure rate in the hospital is very high, and the general public does not need to panic too much.

It is worth noting that the decline in the daily number of new cases in Wuhan and the slowdown in the growth rate of cumulative cases have occurred in the context of a significant increase in the local investigation of residents and the acceleration of the “zero clearing” of suspected cases.

On the evening of February 10, a routine news conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic held in Hubei Province introduced that Wuhan is adopting a combination of home inspections and self-tests and self-reports to comprehensively investigate the residents in its jurisdiction. As of February 9, the city had inspected 4.21 million households, with 10.59 million people inspected, and the percentage of people inspected reached 99%.

Ma Guoqiang, deputy secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee also said: “The next step will be to implement the treatment measures one by one in accordance with the principle of” centralized cases, centralized experts, centralized resources, and centralized treatment. “At the same time, the speed of detection will be accelerated to ensure that until February 11 Complete the detection of all suspected cases. ”

The reporter found that under the recent intensification of investigations, the number of newly diagnosed cases in Wuhan has not increased significantly, which indicates that the local epidemic situation has improved.

However, the current data also show that although the number of new deaths in Wuhan has decreased, it still remains at a high level-67 cases on February 10, a decrease of 6 cases from the previous day.

At present, Wuhan has a large number of critically ill patients and tight medical resources. With the nationwide assistance to Wuhan, the number of new deaths is expected to gradually decline.

In addition to Wuhan, other cities in Hubei are also stepping up their investigations. According to Liu Xuerong, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Hubei Province and secretary of the Huanggang Municipal Party Committee, on the 11th, the local government is solidly conducting comprehensive investigations and implementing four batches of fever investigations—17.486 million in the village community and 45,000 in the public place. 1.034 million person-times were checked, and 1.907 million person-times were checked by enterprises and institutions. A total of 13,000 fever patients were found during investigation.

Some time ago, the citizens of Wuhan who had to stay outside due to anti-epidemic measures have also affected people’s hearts.

For example, after the city was closed in Wuhan, some citizens in other places planned to return to Han in four places, but they were quarantined at the first stop of the trip; and some local hotels rejected Hubei tourists due to concerns about the spread of the epidemic. Check-in makes the staying problem of Wuhan tourists who stay out.

On February 11, several municipal districts in Wuhan have publicized the specific plans for citizens to return to Han.

In addition, at present, Wuhan’s pharmacies, supermarkets, and hotels must be up and running to meet the needs of Wuhan’s citizens, and relevant employees need to return to Wuhan. The employees in the above important industries are required by the employers, and the government guarantees transportation to ensure that they return to Wuhan smoothly and safely.

The data in the table below also shows that prior to this, the Chinese government has urgently dispatched a number of non-stop charter flights to Wuhan to take back residents of Hubei and Wuhan who are stranded overseas.

From the reception of Wuhan residents stranded overseas to the gradual implementation of the return of citizens to Wuhan by all districts in Wuhan, it can be seen that Wuhan is now combining the work of returning citizens to the city and ensuring the operation of the city, indicating that while fighting the epidemic, Wuhan has begun Consider the issue of restoring normal urban life as soon as possible.

Newly confirmed cases nationwide hit lowest since February

The number of new suspected cases across the country also declined significantly. On February 10, there were 3536 new suspected cases across the country, down 11.8% from the previous day’s 4008. The decline of new suspected cases also means that the number of newly confirmed cases will not increase on a large scale in the future, and the epidemic situation is expected to gradually improve.

The cumulative rate of confirmed cases nationwide has slowed significantly, dropping to 6.14% and staying below 10% for the third consecutive day.

The cumulative growth rate of diagnoses outside Hubei Province further dropped to 3.51%. The spread of the epidemic is under control.
