According to the officially released information from the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission, on February 3, Jiangsu had 37 newly confirmed cases of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus, of which four were in Changzhou.

Among the newly confirmed cases in Changzhou, one patient has recently traveled to Hubei province, two have traveled to Wuhan and one had close contact with one or more of the previously confirmed cases. The oldest patient was 49, and the youngest was 15. All of them are currently receiving treatment in designated hospitals and are in stable physical condition. 77 close contacts have been found and are now under medical quarantine.

As of February 3, a total of 308 confirmed cases have been reported in Jiangsu, of which 19 cases were confirmed in Changzhou.

Experts urge those who came from or have visited Hubei province or arrived in Jiangsu via Hubei to register with their community or neighborhood committee as soon as possible. If you recently have travelled to Hubei, please stay at home for medical observation for 14 days, pay close attention to your physical conditions, and take your temperature twice per day. If possible, stay alone in a well-ventilated room and reduce close contact with your family members. Wear a mask correctly and clean and disinfect your hands often. Avoid sharing any items that may cause an indirect contact infection to anyone else living in the same place. Tableware must be washed and disinfected before use. Chlorine-containing or peracetic acid disinfectants can be used for room disinfection. If symptoms such as fever, cough, pharyngalgia, chest distress, dyspnea, feebleness and diarrhea have occurred, stop home quarantine and seek treatment immediately at one of the designated hospitals while wearing a mask.
