(Central News Agency reporter Chen Weiting, Taipei, 8th) Another case of pneumonia from Wuhan was imported from China after 10 months. The command center noted that the case had traveled to the Zhejiang and Shanghai Pudong airports; got sick 12 days after entering Taiwan and is still in the overseas infection incubation period The quarantine in Taiwan is for one person and one room, and the possibility of infection in Taiwan is low.

The Epidemic Central Command Center announced that Taiwan today added 2 Wuhan pneumonia (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) overseas immigration, one are Indonesian migrants (case 718) and the other are Taiwanese businessmen from Zhejiang (case 719 ). Taiwan has been emigrating again from outside China since February.

Command center spokesman Zhuang Renxiang told an afternoon news conference that Case 719 was a Taiwanese man in his 50s. He went to Zhejiang, China to handle official business in mid-September this year, and returned to Taiwan from Shanghai Pudong Airport on November 22. No symptoms upon entry and a negative nucleic acid test report within 3 days prior to shipment.

However, during the home quarantine of the epidemic prevention hotel, the case developed chills and fever on December 4, and the health unit ordered a medical examination on December 5, and today the diagnosis was confirmed (Ct value 15) . During the quarantine period 2 days before the onset of the case, all contacts undergoing medical treatment have the appropriate protective equipment, so it is not necessary to list the contacts.

This was because Taiwan had previously announced an immigration case from outside of China in October, but it was later confirmed to be an oolong incident where the sample was misplaced and led to an error. Zhuang Renxiang said that in addition to the first sample collected in the laboratory, the second sample was also analyzed by Kunyang Laboratory on the night of the 7th. The result was still positive, with a Ct value of 17 and a negative serum antibody.

The case returned to Taiwan on November 22 with a negative nucleic acid test report three days prior to shipment. He had no symptoms until December 4, and the source of infection is also worthy of attention.

Zhuang Renxiang said that the case had been at Zhejiang Pudong Airport and Shanghai Pudong Airport. On November 22, when I was at the Pudong airport, there were multiple confirmed cases at that airport. 16,000 cases were reviewed overnight. Is it related to Shanghai or Zhejiang? , Lu will be notified for his investigation.

Zhuang Renxiang said that there is a 12-day gap from overseas to the start date. It is possible that the infection abroad is still in the incubation period, but the local area is not ruled out. However, after entering Taiwan, it is a person and a room with no contact with other people. The probability of infection in Taiwan is compared. If it is low, it will train for individual cases and the sequence of the Chinese virus will be clearer. (Publisher: Chen Zhengwei) 1091208
