Wang Guiqiang, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Peking University First Hospital, said at the State Council ’s joint prevention and control mechanism conference on March 24 that COVID-19 virus is relatively more contagious than influenza viruses and SARS, and much stronger than SARS. From a sexual point of view, it is relatively heavier than influenza and lighter than SARS. From the current outcome after infection, the COVID-19 virus has a longer initial period of time, and the detoxification time is longer than SARS and influenza viruses.
Wang Guiqiang said that there is still a lot of unknowns about COVID-19 virus, and he is gradually accumulating experience. Through various studies and clinical observations, he hopes that through a large amount of data observation and research work, he can gradually understand the overall characteristics of COVID-19 virus , Including viremia, dynamic changes in the virus, outcomes, and more.
