Covid-19 epidemic "peaking" does not mean cases will decrease rapidly

China's leading respiratory expert, Academician Zhong Nanshan, recently said,Although as of February 17, China has recorded a decrease in the number of new cases for the 13th consecutive day, it is still not possible to confirm whether the Covid-19 epidemic has peaked or not.

He said that China's mobilization of a large number of people and medical supplies to prevent the epidemic, as well as businesses returning to operations, means that a large number of workers returning to the city is a decisive factor in determining when the epidemic will "peak".

According to Mr. Chung Nam Son, the Covid-19 epidemic is likely to peak at the end of February, but that does not mean that cases will decrease rapidly.

Regarding the complicated developments of the epidemic in Wuhan - the origin and center of the Covid-19 epidemic, Mr. Zhong Nanshan said that despite many efforts, there is still a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission.

Currently, the medical team continues to implement many synchronous measures such as separating people infected with Covid-19 from people infected with the common flu, speeding up the speed and efficiency of testing, researching and testing IgM antibodies against the virus to be able to announce a cure for Covid-19 as soon as possible.

Currently, most of the infections and deaths are concentrated in Wuhan, with the number of cases accounting for 80% and the number of deaths accounting for more than 95% of the whole of China./.
