Original title: 61 new cases of asymptomatic infection in Xinjiang are under quarantine medical observation
China News Service, Urumqi, October 31 (Reporter Sun Tingwen and Zhao Yamin) On the night of the 31st, Gu Yingsu, deputy director of the Xinjiang Health Commission, reported at a press conference that Xinjiang reported since 24: 00 hours on October 30 until 18:00 on the 31st. 61 new cases of asymptomatic infection were registered, of which 46 occurred in Shufu county and 15 in Karekaiqike municipality and Pilal municipality in the county from Aktao, adjacent to Shufu County.
On the night of the 31st, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People’s Government Information Office held the sixth Kashgar epidemic prevention and control press conference to present the situation. According to reports, as of 6:00 p.m. on October 31, Xinjiang has 51 confirmed cases (all asymptomatic infections transferred at diagnosis) and 222 asymptomatic infections, all from Shufu County and Akto County.
Gu Yingsu said that after the outbreak in Shufu County, according to the deployment of the Xinjiang Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters, Kashgar immediately launched free nucleic acid tests for all employees. The first round was completed on October 27. Also, the rest are all negative. In accordance with epidemiology laws, especially considering that there are more asymptomatic infections in the outbreak in Shufu County, in order to ensure the health of people of all ethnic groups, the Kashgar area began to take action in the Shufu County, Kashgar City and Shule County on the 29th.

Gu Yingsu, deputy director of the Xinjiang Health Commission, reported on the latest epidemic situation and nucleic acid testing at a press conference.Photo by Zhao YaminGu Yingsu said that increasing the intensity and frequency of nucleic acid tests is an effective means of implementing the “first four” measures and accurately detecting infected people. The shorter the cutoff time for negative nucleic acid test results, the safer it is. There is a certain time interval between the infection of the new coronavirus and its detection. If the first nucleic acid sample falls within this time interval, it may not be detected. According to the incubation period of the new coronavirus, the incubation period of new coronary pneumonia is 1 to 14 days, and the common incubation period is 3 to 7 days. This means that about 90% of people will have a positive nucleic acid test within 3 to 7 days of infection, and some people are less than 3 days old and some people are older than 7 days. The second round of nucleic acid testing consists of accurately identifying and evaluating infected people who are still in the incubation period in the shortest time possible. This not only supports the application of the “early four requirements”, buys time for early treatment and recovery, but also helps prevent the spread of the epidemic and do everything possible to protect people’s lives and health. of all ethnic groups.
As of 18:00 on October 31, the second round of nucleic acid testing was reportedly completed for the people found in the Kashgar area. Except for the confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections that have been announced, the test results of the rest are negative. All the new asymptomatic infections came from Zhanmin Township and the surrounding towns and villages in Shufu County, all of which were under quarantine medical observation.

Free nucleic acid testing for all employees. As of 6:00 p.m. on October 27, the entire prefecture has completed nucleic acid testing for all employees, and all test results are negative. On the 30th, the Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture carried out the second round of free nucleic acid tests in key areas and key populations. From 24:00 on 30 to 18:00 on 31, there were 15 new cases of asymptomatic infections in the adjacent Karekaiqike and Pilal municipalities of Aktao County and Shufu County, all of which were under quarantine medical observation.
