Recently, a dot-like epidemic has occurred in many places in Zhejiang, and the three key groups of close contacts, sub-close contacts and general contacts have become matters of concern to the masses, so how to accurately determine the three types of people? Do they all need to be quarantined? Let's listen to the answers of disease control experts!

significant! How are close contacts, sub-close contacts, and general contacts determined?

If you have had close contact with suspected and confirmed cases and confirmed cases 5 days before the onset of symptoms, or 5 days before the sampling of asymptomatic infected specimens and there are no effective protective measures, such as living together, taking a car, airplane, high-speed rail, steamship and other means of transport, or in the same office, workshop, classroom, canteen, elevator, etc., or eating and entertaining in a closed environment, you may be considered a close contact.

The first contact between a close contact and a case or an asymptomatic infected person (the first contact between a close contact and the case or asymptomatic infected person between 5 days before the onset of the case or 5 days before the sampling of asymptomatic infected person specimens and before the isolation management) until the close contact is isolated and managed, and the person with whom the close contact has lived and lived together, works in the same confined environment, eats and entertains in the same closed environment, but has not taken effective protection, In particular, people such as family members and colleagues who have frequent contact with close contacts are what we call sub-close contacts, also known as close contact.

General contacts are persons who have been in contact with suspected cases, confirmed cases and asymptomatic infected persons in the same means of transportation, such as airplanes, trains and ships, living together, studying, working, and medical treatment, as well as those who have been jointly exposed to public places such as shopping malls, farmers' markets (bazaars), bus stations, and subways, but do not meet the principle of determining close contacts.

When you are judged to be a close contact of the above three types of people, especially close contacts and close contacts, please do not panic at first, this does not mean that you will be infected with the new crown virus. Centralized medical isolation and observation of close contacts and close contacts can effectively prevent close contacts and potential infected people in close contacts from contacting other groups, effectively control the spread of the epidemic, and at the same time can also detect and treat close contacts and patients in close contact with the onset of close contacts. Secondly, please actively cooperate with investigators to verify relevant information, follow the guidance of the staff, carry personal daily necessities and personal essential drugs, wear masks correctly, do a good job of personal protective measures, transfer to the designated isolation point according to regulations, cooperate with body temperature monitoring and regular nucleic acid sampling, such as fever, dry cough, fatigue and other symptoms during the period, you should immediately inform the isolation point staff, and cooperate with medical staff for diagnosis and treatment.
