One year has passed since the outbreak of the new type of coronavirus pneumonia. On January 23 last year, China announced that Wuhan was “closed.” Unexpectedly, the epidemic is still raging around the world. At the press conference today (23), a reporter asked about his feelings for the first anniversary of the fight against the epidemic. Chen Shizhong, the commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, said that he had personally seen two young people with fever who returned to Taiwan from Wuhan Tao last year. He was touched by the outbreak of nosocomial infection in Butao today.
Chen Shizhong revealed at a press conference today (23rd) that the day after Wuhan announced the closure of the city a year ago, he met two young people who had returned from Wuhan at the fever screening station in Butao. He was very surprised and only then learned about 2 People escaped secretly from mountain roads to other cities to get back to Taiwan, but because they had fever, they were worried, so they went to Butao for screening when they got off the plane.
Chen Shizhong said that at that time, the new coronavirus had just broken out. In addition to the lack of in-depth understanding of the virus, the overall border control was relatively not so rigorous. He also held meetings and reported to the Executive Yuan, thinking that in addition to what he saw with his own eyes In addition to these two people, I don’t know how many other similar cases have not been seen. I am worried that this may become a breach in epidemic prevention.
In contrast to the time, a year later, there was an outbreak of nosocomial infection in Butao. Chen Shizhong also lamented that Butao’s risk was greater due to its proximity to Taoyuan International Airport. While the virus became a tenacious variant, the command center’s SOP has also been evolving. I hope that the people will fight the epidemic together and get through the difficulties together”
