the Chinese Government of Wuhan, which started the pandemic and coronavirus plan for 10 days to get the entire 11 million population of the city, state media reports.
This idea is still at an early stage of development, the city authorities demanded that the heads of districts to provide plans to obespecheniu continuous testing of the population for 10 days.
However, the experts of Wuhan University say that millions of citizens could be tested.
last weekend in Wuhan was recorded six new cases of infection with coronavirus. Of infections are associated with a single hearth — apartment house.
the city opened a school, and gradually began to open commercial enterprises, again by public transport.
the Total number of cases in China, according to official figures, on Monday approached the 83 thousand, victims of the new virus were 4,633 people.
Chinese state media reported that the authorities of Wuhan were sent to Council of all areas of the decree: to submit by Tuesday a 10-day plan testing for the virus all residents of the 11-million city.
a Few vysokopostavlennyh doctors from Wuhan commented on the plan in an interview to the state tabloid Global Times, calling it costly and difficult to implement.
Peng Zhiyong, the chief doctor of the intensive care unit in a hospital in Wuhan Zhongnan University, was offered instead all of the residents to collect the samples from health care workers, people at risk and those who have recently come in contact with sick people.
At the same time, Zhangqiu Yan from Wuhan University said that, in his estimation, a significant part of the population of the city — from 3 to 5 million — has already been tested and what to test the remaining 6-8 million people in ten days is realistic.
Users of Chinese social network Weibo questioned the realism of collecting samples from millions of people for several days.
One of the critics wrote that the tests should be carried out before the quarantine was lifted and a message to Wuhan with the rest of the country was resumed.
It is with Wuhan began a global disaster, and the world breathed a sigh of relief when the first source of infection, it seemed, triumphed over the virus. If the first city where it entered quarantine, closes again, it will not add optimism. The Chinese government is doing everything to prevent such a scenario.
When the city was discovered a new case of infection three days ago, the tension was felt even in Beijing, thousands of kilometers away from Wuhan. Then five more people have been infected by 89-year-old man, whose illness passed without symptoms. The superintendent of the building where there was an infection, was dismissed.
However, the dismissal of officials can lead to the fact that in the future new cases of infection will be hidden.
last week convened a meeting of the Politburo standing Committee — the governing body of the Communist party of China. Members discussed how to improve the alert system for outbreaks of emerging diseases.
Maybe they should start with a renunciation of the desire not to make any mistakes in running the country, due of which people are afraid to be punished for having to deliver the bad news.
