Expert: The Epidemic is Expected to be Under Control This Summer



Professor Zhang Wenhong, director of the infection department of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Fudan University, leader of the Shanghai COVID-19 medical treatment expert group and member of the Standing Committee of the infectious diseases branch of the Chinese Medical Association, said on March 17, it is expected that most COVID-19 cases will be well controlled this summer, and the epidemic will go through a trough.


 

But it's hard to predict whether it will recur in the next winter. After summer, the number of patients will decrease, but sporadic patients will appear all the time, which will last until this winter, and then next spring, there may be a small outbreak, and then slowly come down.

 

In addition, Professor Zhang believes that if a person does a good job in self-protection, his / her risk of infection is extremely low as the risk only exists when being close contact with an infected person. No contact, no risk.
