"It's true, and this panic is worse than the previous leakage of radioactive nuclear materials in the island country next door caused a large number of people to rush to buy salt, I heard a father and son talking when I was buying toilet water, the women in the family are afraid to go out, and the men are still out to buy things, for fear that if they go out and get bitten by mosquitoes, they will be infected with Zika virus."

Gu Yanan didn't have the heart to eat, "This time it's just an imported case of Zika fever, and the official epidemic report hasn't come out yet, how can everyone have such a big reaction?" ”

"Compared to the official announcement, the grapevine is more frightening."

Gu Yanan glanced at the time on her wrist and decided not to eat yet, she was going to go to the supermarket outside to have a look and feel the level of panic among the people.

Nan Hanfei followed Gu Yanan out of the CDC compound and went to a large supermarket next door.

In supermarkets, shelves for mosquito nets and electric mosquito swatters have been snapped up.

There were still a few bottles of toilet water on the shelves, Gu Yanan picked them up and looked at them, they were all products that did not have effective mosquito repellent ingredients.

As soon as they were put back on the shelves, the few remaining bottles of toilet water were also snatched away by the people around them.

Gu Yanan heard the people around him talking.

"You know what? We have an outbreak of Zika fever in Lianhai City, and you can be infected with mosquito bites. ”

"I heard that it's nothing to ordinary people, it's just that pregnant women will give birth to children with microcephaly after being infected."

"Yes, it's too scary, my daughter is 20 this year, and she is going to have a baby in two years, so I came to buy mosquito nets, electric mosquito swatters and mosquito repellent toilet water, but they were all sold out."

"Isn't your daughter unmarried?"

"Sooner or later, I will get married, and sooner or later I will have children, in case I am bitten by a mosquito and infected with Zika virus, I don't know how long this virus will live in the body, it is better to be safe, try to use an electric mosquito swatter mosquito net at home, and spray mosquito repellent water even if you go out."

"Do these toilet water work? I heard that only those with specific ingredients have a mosquito repellent effect. ”

"It's better to spray than not to spray, I won't tell you more, I haven't bought a mosquito net yet, and then go to another supermarket."

……

The few remaining bottles of toilet water on the shelves were also snapped up, and the crowd dispersed, leaving Yanan and Nan Hanfei standing in place.

Nan Hanfei held Gu Yanan's hand and comforted, "The public's mood is easily bewitched by gossip, and if there is an official epidemic report, the public's mood should be more stable." ”

"Yes, the epidemic report of our health department must be timely, today's test results have been reported, the flow investigation information is being improved, according to the previous experience, the epidemic notification will be issued after the flow investigation information is completely sorted out, and now it seems that a briefing should be issued first to stabilize the public's mood."

The two returned to the emergency office.

Gu Yanan sorted out the epidemic briefing first, Nan Hanfei took a lunch box beside him, ate a bite by himself, and fed Gu Yanan a bite from time to time.

After the briefing was written and dinner was over, Gu Yanan sent Nan Han back to rest, and she was ready to continue working all night to get the full genetic sequence of Zika virus in Guan Peipei's specimen.

The sky is slightly bright.

Sequencing Center of the Experimental Building.

Gu Yanan finally obtained the full gene sequence of Zika virus, and through online comparison, the gene sequence was indeed the highest homology with the gene sequence of Zika virus circulating in South America, which also echoed the flow survey data.

I was busy when I suddenly received an urgent phone call.

The call came from a colleague from the CDC's duty room, "Director Gu, I just received a fax from the customs, they have confirmed a Zika fever patient in the inbound population, and now the patient is being isolated and treated in Binhai Hospital, and the next flow investigation work will be handed over to the CDC." ”

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

Guan Peipei's matter has not been dealt with yet, and now there are new cases.

Gu Yanan didn't close his eyes all night, and now he is going to a new flow scene.

The new patient was in Binhai Hospital, and according to the principle of territorial management, Gu Yanan notified the Binhai District CDC to investigate in the past, and sent Lu Li and Xiao Chu of the emergency team to guide in the past.

8:30 a.m.

Lianhai Binhai Hospital

In the isolation ward, a single bed is hung with mosquito nets around it, and a person lies in it.

Lu Li, Xiao Chu, and several people from the Binhai District Disease Control gathered around the bed to question the patient.

Patient Wu Li, male, 28 years old, from Binhai District, Lianhai City, self-employed businessman, went to Ecuador, South America half a month ago to discuss business, took a flight from Ecuador to Amsterdam four days ago, arrived at Lianhai Binhai International Airport in the afternoon, and returned to his home in Binhai District.

Fever symptoms appeared in the evening of the same day, with a temperature as high as 38.1 degrees Celsius, and clinical symptoms such as papules, arthralgia and conjunctivitis appeared on the second day.

During this period, he went to a clinic in the community where he lived and prescribed anti-allergy drugs, but the use of them was ineffective, and the clinical symptoms did not lessen.

Yesterday afternoon, he went to the Lianhai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for a health consultation, and was then diagnosed with Zika virus infection.

After asking the question of the flow survey, Lu Li and several other disease control personnel chuckled in their hearts.

From the time the patient Wu Li got off the plane to the time he was diagnosed and isolated for treatment, he came into contact with many people and stayed in many places, and all the people who had been in contact with him had to be investigated, and the places where he stayed were also investigated for the Bretu index and mosquito control.

Coming out of the isolation ward, Lu Li instructed several people from the disease control to act separately.

Xiao Chu and Section Chief Zhang of Binhai District Disease Control and Prevention led a group of people to investigate the doctors and nurses who received Wu Li, took samples from them to see if they were infected by mosquito bites, and at the same time conducted a Breto index survey and mosquito control in various places.

Lu Li took another group of people to Wu Li's house to investigate.

——

Binhai Yulong Bay Community.

Patient Wu Li's home.

Wu Li lives with his parents and wife, and since Wu Li was diagnosed with Zika virus, he was hospitalized for isolation treatment, and his family was worried about being infected by him, so they did not accompany him in the hospital and stayed at home.

Lu Li knocked on the door, and it was a woman in her 60s who opened the door, Wu Li's mother.

Lu Li showed his work card and explained his intentions.

Wu Li's mother agreed to cooperate with the investigation.

Wu Li's home is located on the first floor of 14 buildings in the community, with a construction area of more than 140 square meters, and the window is adjacent to the green belt of the community.

There are many flower pots in the green belt, scattered with some unknown flowers, and some flower pots are empty, with stagnant water inside, which seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

Lu Li stood at the window and stared out the window, there was so much water in the empty flower pot in the green belt not far away, and it was speculated that the Breto index here would be very high.

Lu Li instructed the district disease control staff to clean up the environment of Wu Li's home and the surrounding green belt, and at the same time eliminate mosquitoes to prevent mosquitoes from breeding and causing the spread of the epidemic.

For Wu Li's family, Lu Li personally inspected the sampling.

Wu Li's parents were in good health, but when they checked on Wu Li's wife, Lu Li found that she had dense red spots the size of pinpoints.

Red pimples?!

This is one of the symptoms of Zika fever, could it be that Wu Li's wife is also infected?

Lu Li took out an electronic thermometer from the on-site flow box and aimed it at Wu Li's wife's forehead to measure the temperature.

37.8 degrees Celsius.

Low-grade fever!

Another typical symptom of Zika fever.

There is both fever and large red pimples on his body, and it seems that Wu Li's wife is also infected.

How did she get infected? Is it in a foreign epidemic area? Or was he infected by her husband Wu Li after coming back?

Zika virus can be transmitted through mosquito bites, but it can also be transmitted through bodily fluid contact, which means that contact with bodily fluids such as sexual contact and breastfeeding can transmit Zika virus.

What will be the infection route of Wu Li's wife?
