Why did COVID-19 break out in southern India?

A few days ago, a hot post broke out with COVID-19, India, which was widely circulated on the Internet. It mentioned that the number of people isolated in India due to COVID-19 has reached more than 3,, and then the Indian government is likely to turn to China and the United States for help to control the epidemic. As soon as this post came out, articles related to pneumonia in India emerged in an endless stream in just a few hours. In many articles, it was even misinformed that the number of confirmed cases in India had risen from the original single digit to dozens of cases. The article also mentioned that after India withdrew 15 expatriates from Wuhan, the number of confirmed cases increased nearly 1 times in just four days. These infinitely magnified medical data are rare in the world.

The epidemic situation in India

So, is it true or not that COVID-19 broke out in southern India? What is the current epidemic situation in India, and what measures has the Indian government taken to control the further spread of pneumonia? According to Chinese and Indian media reports, as of February 2th, the total number of confirmed cases in India was only three. The three patients diagnosed as COVID-19 were all international students who returned to India from Wuhan. Not only that, the Indian official had better news on February 14, and all three infected people were cured on February 14. Since the COVID-19 epidemic appeared in Kerala, India, no new confirmed cases have been found in India so far, and the epidemic situation in India is now zero.

Indian media reported pneumonia

But in this article written by India Today, why did it claim that COVID-19 broke out on a large scale in India? After all, when his article came out, it caused great panic to the online media in India and even other countries in a short time. The author believes that the author of this article only wrote this article which is completely inconsistent with the facts on the basis of his own imagination from the viewpoint of a few data he occasionally saw. In fact, readers can find that the author of this article often uses the number of confirmed patients when writing an article? Maybe? This word, so the number of confirmed cases of pneumonia in India, is mostly based on his own set of theoretical speculations, and the author does not pay attention to the epidemic facts in India at all.

Indian epidemic prevention staff

On February 3rd, because all three confirmed cases in India came from Kerala, they evacuated their expatriates from Wuhan, so Indians immediately established a complete quarantine and isolation process for the state. For all the returnees, the itinerary and health form must be filled in at the airport. Except for those who return from China epidemic areas, if these passengers return from Japanese epidemic areas, they should be observed in isolation. Those with or without symptoms were quarantined at home for up to 28 days, and those with COVID-19's symptoms immediately went to the hospital for isolation. This isolation measure has been implemented since January 26th.

The number of people isolated in India on February 11th

Since January 31st, the Indian government has published the detailed data and process of the number of people isolated on the Internet every day. As of February 11th, the number of isolated people in India has reached a peak. On this day, the total number of isolated people in India reached 3,447, of which 27 were isolated in hospitals and the remaining 3, were isolated at home. The reason why the number of people isolated in India is so high is that the Indian government has counted the people who have second contact within the isolation standard, and these more than 3, people have accumulated data for nearly half a month.

Perhaps it is because the Indian government attaches great importance to this epidemic that some people with intentions have made a big fuss about it to attract attention. As far as the measures taken by the Indian government to prevent and control the epidemic are concerned, it is precisely because India attaches great importance to the possibility of this outbreak that it has controlled the further spread of the epidemic in India and even completely cured it in a very short time. This is also a place worth learning when countries prevent and control the epidemic.
