Chinese Expert: COVID-19 Outbreak Could End in June, But
Zhong Nanshan, a prominent expert in respiratory diseases, said that there still exists the possibility that the COVID-19 outbreak could end in June, but this hinges on all countries taking full and active measures to tackle it.
"If some countries do not pay full attention to the infectious nature and harm of the disease or intervene forcibly, (the outbreak) may be prolonged, Zhong, one of the leading specialists tackling the outbreak in China, said at a news conference on Thursday in Guangzhou, Guangdong province.
The virus should become less active in the high temperature in the summer, thus slowing the outbreak. However, should the outbreak extend any longer, it would have an enormous impact on the society and the economy of a country, he said, adding that the previous assessment was based more on the situation in China.
Zhong called on all countries to follow the instructions of the World Health Organization, which declared COVID-19 a pandemic on Wednesday.
China has passed the climax of the outbreak, with the number of new infections continuing to decline, the National Health Commission said on Thursday. The problem in China has now shifted to imported cases, Zhong said.
Some infected people did not show symptoms, such as fever, when entering China but later tested positive. Since people coming from foreign countries may be required to be quarantined for 14 days, those who need to enter China quickly should take a virus test, which serves the interest of both themselves and the country, he said.
On the cases of cured patients who have again tested positive for the virus, Zhong said they do not seem to be contagious, with no person having close contact with them being infected so far.
