GUANGZHOU, Jan. 28 -- The novel coronavirus outbreak may reach its peak in one week or around 10 days, renowned Chinese respiratory expert Zhong Nanshan said Tuesday in an exclusive interview with Xinhua.
"It is very difficult to definitely estimate when the outbreak reaches its peak. But I think in one week or about 10 days, it will reach the climax and then there will be no large-scale increases," Zhong said.
Zhong is the head of a national team of experts set up for the control and prevention of the novel coronavirus-caused pneumonia and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
"There are two keys to tackling the epidemic: early detection and early isolation. They are the most primitive and most effective methods," he said.
Zhong said fever is still the typical symptom of the novel coronavirus infection.
Ten to 14 days is a sound period for isolation and observation: When the incubation period ends, those who fall sick will get timely treatment and those who do not will be just fine. "Mass infection will not emerge because of Spring Festival holiday return trips, but screening and detection measures must continue," Zhong said.
He suggested that hospitals should be staffed with not only infectious disease specialists, but also specialists in treating severe cases to better save patients.
