On the evening of December 24, Academician Zhang Boli said in an interview with The Health Times, "At present, the inflection point of the epidemic has not yet been reached, and it is still necessary to strictly guard against death." Generally speaking, it takes a cycle or a half for an outbreak to determine when an inflection point can occur, and it takes about 20 days to 'see the difference'. ”

For the "hidden transmission" of the Xi'an epidemic, Zhang Boli said, "Or the grass-roots epidemic prevention and control is careless, the main spreader of the current round of Xi'an epidemic (December 15) case No. 2, because there has been no symptoms, so it was found late, but its range of activities is larger, resulting in many infections." According to the incomplete statistics of Health Times, there were more than 50 cases associated with the confirmed case No. 2 on December 15.

Referring to when the current round of xi'an epidemic will end, academician Zhang Boli told Health Times: "The epidemic in Xi'an can definitely be blocked, and it is still necessary to adhere to protection." ”
