Zhou Lao sighed on the other side of Gu Yanan, "The nucleic acid test of the new coronavirus can be carried out in the P2 laboratory, but the personal protection must reach the P3 level, our city CDC must be fine, we have P3 laboratories, but there are problems with the disease control in various counties and districts, they have P2 laboratories, but the personal protective equipment has not reached the P3 level." ”

Gu Yanan: "This problem is not big, we have a reserve of P3 protective equipment in our city, which will be distributed to all counties and districts at that time, and the corresponding training will be done." ”

"When will this training start?"

"The sooner the better, just tomorrow morning, after today's video conference, send a message to all counties and districts, let them send people and cars over tomorrow morning, personnel to participate in training, and cars to go back with P3 personal protective equipment."

"Okay, I'll arrange it after the video conference is over."

The meeting lasted two hours and ended just in time for the end of the day.

The emergency team returned to the emergency office and was about to pack up for work when the desk phone rang.

Gu Yanan answered, and the other party was an ordinary citizen who came to inquire about the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus.

The pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus in the next province H occurred half a month ago, and the news about the pneumonia epidemic on the Internet is flying all over the sky, most of which are rumors.

Some of these rumors have caused panic among the public.

Many citizens began to call the CDC for telephone consultation, and some calls went directly to the emergency office.

Citizen: "There is news on the Internet that the mysterious disease that broke out in Province H has been confirmed to be a new type of SARS virus, is it true?" ”

"It's a rumor! The causative agent that caused the mysterious disease in H province has been identified as a new coronavirus, and the World Health Organization has named it the 2019 coronavirus, not the SARS virus. ”

"There is also news on the Internet that our city People's Hospital has several such cases, and they have been strictly isolated, which is terrifying, and it is said that 80% of them are SARS."

"This is also a rumor! Coronaviruses are very common in nature, divided into many types, and the harm caused by them varies greatly, and the causative agent that caused the viral pneumonia epidemic in H Province is a new coronavirus, which is different from the SARS virus caused by the SARS virus that was epidemic in 2003. Moreover, no 2019 novel coronavirus has been found in our city, and no suspected cases have appeared. ”

"I also saw news on the Internet that SARS has not disappeared and has been parasitic in bats."

"It's still a rumor! The SARS epidemic broke out in China from 2002 to 2003, and no SARS cases have been found in China in the past 10 years. At present, human SARS coronavirus has not been detected in bats. ”

"And one last question, I see news on the Internet that the pneumonia virus in Province H is the SARS Colora virus that has been around for a long time."

"This is also a rumor! The Colora virus that is widely spread on the Internet is a transliteration of coronavirus, and the causative agent that caused the viral pneumonia epidemic in H Province is a new coronavirus, not the SARS virus. Current surveys show that the virus's human-to-human transmissibility and pathogenicity are weaker than those of SARS. ”

Finally hung up the consultation phone, Gu Yanan put down the bag that had been packed and sat back at the desk.

Wang Xiaoxiao noticed Gu Yanan's movements, stepped forward, and asked, "Sister Yanan, do you want to work overtime?" ”

"Well, there have been a lot of inquiries about the 2019 novel coronavirus recently, and there are more rumors on the Internet, and if the panic of the public is not suppressed, it may cause social problems, so I would like to write a tweet about this new coronavirus and put it on the Internet."

Wang Xiaoxiao: "To see all this professional knowledge, you should go to professional websites, how can you go to messy websites to read those unverified news?" With professional tweets on our site in the future, those rumors will be suppressed. ”

"Sister Yanan, do you want me to help?"

Zhou Lao was preparing to distribute the documents for disease control in various counties and districts, and Lu Li wanted to stay and help.

"No, you all go back to rest, tomorrow we will give training to the county and district disease control, there may be follow-up progress in cases of encephalitis of unknown cause, everyone should take care of their spirits first."

——

Day 2 morning.

Lianhai CDC, training hall on the 1st floor of the comprehensive administrative office building.

After receiving the notice, the on-site and experimental testing personnel of each county and district came to the training hall of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention on time to receive training on the 2019 new coronavirus.

Gu Yanan first explained the theoretical knowledge, and then Zhou Lao began to demonstrate the use of P3 personal protective equipment on the spot.

Put on protective clothing, put on a positive pressure mask, stretch your arms and legs, and test the airtightness of the protective clothing......

Zhou Lao was demonstrating, and Gu Yanan's mobile phone rang on the side.

Caller ID brother Gu Yoshiki.

"Little sister, our hospital received three more encephalitis patients this morning, all aged about 5~7 years old, and the symptoms are very similar to Li Tianyi's symptoms before."

The epidemic of encephalitis of unknown cause has spread!

Gu Yanan suddenly felt that things had become serious, the pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus here was being urgently deployed for prevention and control, and there were already many patients with encephalitis of unknown cause in the hospital over there, could there be any connection between the two?

Gu Yanan quickly dismissed this idea.

Judging from the current evidence, the pneumonia epidemic in H Province is caused by the new coronavirus, and all the current cases show that this new coronavirus does not cause symptoms of encephalitis, so the encephalitis epidemic of unknown cause in Lianhai City should not be related to the new coronavirus.

Gu Yanan: "Okay, I'll go to the hospital right away." ”

——

Lianhai First People's Hospital, Department of Infectious Diseases.

Several newly admitted small patients with encephalitis of unknown origin were grouped in the same ward for isolation treatment.

Gu Yanan took Lu Li and Xiao Chu to ask Gu Jiashu about the basic situation of the patient in the infectious disease doctor's office.

Gu Jiashu looked solemn, "This morning, four patients with encephalitis of unknown cause were sent one after another, and they were all children, some were transferred from small hospitals, and some were ill at home, and they were directly sent to the hospital by ambulance, here is the basic information of the patient, you can take a look first." ”

Gu Yanan looked at the medical records of each newly admitted patient in turn, and found that these little patients with unexplained encephalitis lived in an urban village in the southern suburbs of Lianhai City.

With such a clear geographical cluster, have these small patients been exposed to the same source of infection or pathogen?

The oldest of the few patients are Li Tianyi and Li Tianming, who are now in the second grade of primary school, and the others are in kindergarten, and they are in different kindergartens, so the source of the disease should not be in school and kindergarten.

Do these patients have the same experience?

Is the source of the disease in an urban village?

After reading the medical records, Gu Yanan took Gu Jiashu to various wards to inquire about the family members who accompanied the children.

From the child's recent activity place, mental state to the usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, I asked them one by one.

In the end, Gu Yanan found a suspicious place, all the children had gone to a Chinese medicine clinic called Hua's Medical Center to recuperate before they fell ill, and through the descriptions of family members, the appearance and taste of the Chinese patent medicines prescribed by the divine doctor were very similar, composed of brown particles, wrapped in gray kraft paper, and the liquid that was brewed out was slightly sweet with a bitter taste.
