Experts point out that the infection in Italy is exploding due to `` persons with mild symptoms are treated at home ''



Several countries have taken measures to treat new coronavirus infections by treating those with mild symptoms at home. However, a team of experts in China and experts working in Italy have pointed out the danger that 'home quarantine will transfer the virus to family members and spread the infection.' A team of experts in China said that it was 'wrong' about Wuhan's early approach to 'isolating mild cases at home.'

Italy May Be on Wrong Path in Fighting Coronavirus Contagion: Scientist-The New York Times

The Italian Ministry of Health announced on March 30, 2020, that about 102,000 people have been infected with the new coronavirus. The number of daily infections in Italy has remained at 4,000 to 6,000 per day over the past four days, with more than 11,500 deaths to date.

In Italy, urban blockades have been taking place over the last three weeks, while those with mild symptoms have been instructed to be isolated at home.

In an interview conducted at the Italian private radio station `` Radio Capital '', Andrea Crisanti, a professor of microbiology at the University of Padua, Italy, commented that many of the new cases were infections from families, Argued that a center should be established to isolate infected people.

Crisanti said he was involved in coordinating the response to the new coronavirus in Veneto, Italy. 'Why are infections growing despite these measures?' 'In our opinion, infections are occurring at home,' Crisanti said.



Full testing has been performed in the province of Veneto since late February, when the infection began to spread in Italy. In Lombardy, near Veneto, on the other hand, only people with severe symptoms were examined. At the end of March, about 400 people died in Veneto, but in Lombardy, the new coronavirus has killed 7,000 people. With 1,500 deaths reported in Italy, Lombardy accounts for more than half of all deaths.

Crisanti argued that the approach taken in Veneto should be taken nationally. To identify the sick person, `` We go more home and examine not only the sick person, but also his family, friends, neighbors, etc. Should be quarantined in the facility. '

Similar claims have been asserted by a group of Chinese experts. Liang Zong'An, chief of the respiratory department at Sichuan University, pointed out that the method used early in the spread of the new coronavirus infection in Wuhan was incorrect. 'Chinese physicians have said that 'we should isolate patients with mild symptoms at home to reduce the burden on Wuhan's healthcare system,' but that was a big mistake.' 'In the early days of the outbreak, there was a poor understanding of what the virus would look like and what it would do in asymptomatic patients, but now the virus can spread to family and households, even with mild symptoms. I know it will. '

After recognizing the mistake, China soon segregated patients with mild symptoms. Zong'An says similar measures should be taken in Italy.

Xiao Ning, head of the National Center for Infectious Disease Control in China, said that 80% of cluster infections came from people who were told to 'rest at home.'

However, because the mechanisms of each country are involved in the background of the spread of infectious diseases, it is not possible to state whether home isolation in Italy is right or wrong. Italians live in larger apartments than Wuhan, and in a strictly different environment, Zong'An says there is still more evidence that one carrier has spread the disease to their families.

In Milan, Italy, measures have been started to isolate mildly ill patients from hotels, and measures are being taken to prevent the spread of infection.
