Why is the quarantine period 14 days? Is the 14 day quarantine the end of day 14 or the 15th day?

This is because the quarantine period for infectious diseases is determined based on the incubation period of the disease。The incubation period is the period of time between the invasion of a pathogen and the onset of clinical symptoms. The incubation period of pneumonia infected by the new coronavirus is generally 3-7 days, and the longest is not more than 14 days, which is contagious.

At present, it is necessary to take preventive public health measures such as strict medical observation of close contacts, which is a responsible attitude towards public health and safety, and is also a common practice of the international community. Referring to the incubation period of diseases caused by other coronaviruses, the relevant information of the novel coronavirus infection case, and the current prevention and control practice, the medical observation period for close contacts is set at 14 days

According to the current epidemiological investigation, the incubation period of novel coronavirus pneumonia is up to 14 days, and the general incubation period is about 3-7 days. For patients suspected of novel coronavirus infection, isolation is generally required for 14 days.

The 14-day isolation of the new coronavirus pneumonia is mainly related to the incubation period caused by the virus infection, and there is an incubation period between the new coronavirus after infecting the human body and the appearance of symptoms. The average incubation period is 7-10 days, the shortest is about two days, and the longest is about 14 days, so the isolation period is set at 14 days.

From the incident of Shenyang No. 0 Mrs. Yin, it is shown that 14 days of quarantine is completely insufficient.

This dead old woman came back from South Korea on November 29, was negative for 14 days of quarantine, and then returned home with poison, although there is a strict requirement for Mrs. Yin to be quarantined at home for 7 days, but after staying at home, you can't guarantee that this dead old woman and her family won't go out, can't guarantee that they won't contact their neighbors, and can't guarantee that they won't go out for 7 days. This dead old woman was symptomatic around the 20th day.

Well, the whole of Northeast China has become a high-risk area.

The fundamental solution to such an incident is:

Quarantine at a quarantine site for 4 weeks at your own expense. Or would rather reimburse most of the expenses for these people than poison them home. It's okay if it's not poisonous, if it's really poisonous, if it is found during the isolation period in the isolation point within 4 weeks, it will not affect the entire Northeast and the entire Spring Festival.

Hello, this is mainly because the incubation period of the epidemic is mostly within 14 days. After more than 14 days, there is basically no situation, and because if the quarantine period is too long, it will have a great impact on people's work and life.

The quarantine period is 14 days because the virus has an incubation period, so 14 days is a standard market, right? So it's approved by experts, so that's how it's arranged.

Generally speaking, the incubation period of the virus is 14 days, if you do not have symptoms within 14 days, it means that you should not be a carrier.

Nonsense, there are many cases that broke out after more than 30 days.

Because most infected people develop symptoms within 14 days.

The fourteen-day quarantine is the end of the 14th day.

Calculated from the date of the quarantine start, the end period is pushed back 14 days. Quarantine at home.

14 days is not necessarily calculated from the day of returning home, which chain should be calculated according to the date of the implementation of the quarantine date, and you cannot go out for 14 days during the period, such as coming back on the evening of January 23, 2022, but only reporting for registration for quarantine on the 24th, then the isolation date will be calculated from January 24, 2022, and the quarantine will end on February 6, 2022.

Precautions for home isolation

1. The quarantined person cooperates with the community medical staff to take the temperature and cough twice a day.

Monitoring for symptoms such as shortness of breath.

2. Try to choose a well-ventilated single room to live in, if the conditions are insufficient, please consciously limit the activity area and keep a distance of 1m away from others.

3. Refuse to visit, arrange for family members without underlying diseases to take care of them, and both parties need to wear N95 masks or surgical masks.

Caregivers are required to wear disposable gloves when touching people in quarantine.

4. Caregivers need to strengthen hand hygiene.

For example, before and after contact with the quarantined person, before and after eating, and after going to the toilet, avoid direct contact with the secretions of the quarantined person.

5. Open windows for ventilation in public areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, 2-3 times a day, for no less than 30 minutes each time.

Legal analysis: 1. People who have had close contact. If someone close to you has been diagnosed with the new pneumonia, then you must be isolated at home.

2. People with suspected symptoms. Because winter is also the season of high incidence of colds, some people will have a cough or fever at this time. If pneumonia has not been diagnosed, you need to isolate at home.

3. People who have been to Wuhan but do not have fever, cough and other symptoms also need to be isolated at home. 4. Other personnel deemed necessary to be quarantined by the local health department.
