New case reported in Shanghai
Print Edition
A 25-YEAR-OLD female medical worker at Shanghai Songjiang Central Hospital was diagnosed with COVID-19, local health authorities said yesterday.
Her 10 close contacts have undergone nucleic tests, all of which were negative, and have been quarantined, said Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Health Commission.
Although she had tested negative during previous every-three-day regular nucleic acid tests since August 2, she tested positive during the most recent one despite being fully vaccinated.
She’s reported to have a mild case and has been sent to Shanghai Public Health Center for treatment. She hadn’t left Shanghai in the past 14 days and has no connection with recent COVID-19 outbreaks in other Chinese cities, said Wu.
The woman lives in Youlu Apartments in Songjiang District’s Yongfeng Subdistrict. Outside of her living place, she had been to the Shangpinyouxian supermarket, Abing fruit shop and Grandma’s Home Restaurant at Xinlixiang Square, all of which have been closed and disinfected, Wu said.
She also visited Eye & ENT Hospital.
“All three divisions of the hospital have stopped operating since the case was discovered,” Wu said.
“The disease prevention and control staff conducted screenings of people and took samples of sites in the hospital. By 6pm, we had tested 4,390 people and taken 177 environmental samples. All results are negative.”
Youlu Apartment has been designated a medium-risk area, while other places remain low risk. Residents of this complex are quarantined with health monitoring for 14 days.
Authorities are conducting genetic sequencing to check how the woman got infected, Wu said.
A total of 66 contacts who had close contact with the woman’s ten close contacts all tested negative.
By 6pm yesterday, a total of 7,347 people had tested negative.
“If you see medical workers dressed in white protective suits, please cooperate and inform your itinerary truthfully and in detail,” Wu Fan, the deputy dean of Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, suggested.
