Will you find asymptomatic infections during the trip?
● Wu Zunyou: the possibility basically does not exist
Will asymptomatic infected people be found during the festival’s double tour? Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that asymptomatic infections will not fall from the sky for no reason. They must have been in close contact with people infected with the new corona virus or in contact with surfaces contaminated by the virus. Viruses will survive for a long time in a cold, damp environment. For example, liquid nitrogen is often used to store viruses in laboratories, but they will quickly become inactivated at room temperature and will survive longer in winter. The human immune system will completely clear the virus in 2-4 weeks, and the virus will only spread between people before being cleared by the immune system.
“Now, in Beijing or China, there have been no confirmed cases for a long time, and there is no virus in the outdoor environment. For asymptomatic infections in Qingdao, many people worry about finding asymptomatic infections when they travel. In fact, Qingdao has learned from the experience of Beijing and Dalian. Standards for handling and testing of frozen food storage and transportation have been established. Nucleic acid tests are performed by professionals once a week. Whenever they appear, they will be rooted out. It can be said that Qingdao has established a model for managing frozen foods. ” Wu Zunyou said about frozen food Possible contamination has been controlled to a very low level. Therefore, the possibility of contracting asymptomatic infections during the two festivals is extremely low and practically non-existent.
Can I travel to Qingdao and Ruili on vacation?
● Wu Zunyou: low risk, no need for isolation, no restrictions
Recently, people infected with the virus appeared in Qingdao and Ruili. Can I go to Qingdao and Ruili during the two holidays?

Because we assessed that the risk in these places is extremely low, isolation is not necessary. Therefore, the choice of national tourist destinations, There are no restrictions. “
Wu Zunyou said that standard prevention and control have two meanings: in daily work, prevention and control are normal in the place. Even if an epidemic occurs, China has accumulated 9 months of experience and will soon be controlled.
He made some suggestions for travel. For example, get information about the epidemic at any time, understand the destination requirements for epidemic prevention and control, and understand the regulations of the relevant departments. Prepare and implement protection, prepare enough masks, disposable disinfectant, take public transport, for contact with unaccompanied personnel, you must wear a mask; touch the surface of public goods, you should use disposable hand sanitizer to wash your hands.
