5. Detecting possible infections early
Since February 6, Wuhan government has worked tremendously on household-to-household daily temperature checks of all of its residents, for the sake of early detection and early treatment. In order to avoid false-negative diagnosis, Hubei Province classifies suspected cases with radiographic features of pneumonia, but with negative nucleic acid test results as confirmed cases. In places outside Hubei, people returning from Hubei Province are accurately identified, and home quarantined for 14 days during which temperature check and health condition have to be daily reported. Anyone with fever and/or respiratory discomfort is required to report immediately to local health officials and would be transferred to the fever clinic of special hospitals by ambulance right away.
