According to the officially released information from the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission, on January 31, Jiangsu had 34 newly confirmed cases of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus, of which one was in Changzhou.

The patient, aged 44, had close contact with a previously confirmed case who lived in Wuhan, Hubei province and came to  Changzhou on January 19. She is currently receiving treatment in one of the designated hospitals and is in stable physical condition. Six close contacts have been found and are now under medical quarantine.

As of January 31, a total of 202 confirmed cases have been reported in Jiangsu, of which 14 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.
