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.
