Coronavirus: Population Defense Mechanism launched in Europe

213 fatalities worldwide and the first confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV in Europe. This is the latest picture of the coronavirus-related situation that was discovered in Wuhan. What do politicians do about this?

Janez Lenarcic, Commissioner for Crisis Management, launched the so-called Civil Defense Mechanism. This means that all European Union citizens currently residing in China will be transported to Europe.

The action is coordinated by the European Crisis Response Coordination Center, which has decided to mobilize two passenger aircraft that will fly to China for EU citizens.

Poles staying in China can count on help

The first plane already flew to China, from where it took about 250 French citizens. The second is preparing for flight and about 100 people will return to the EU on board. Including probably Poles who are still in the territory of the Middle Kingdom.

The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control closely monitors the situation and informs the EC about all 2019-nCoV detection in the European Union. So far, cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Germany, France and Finland.

However, LOT announced today that from Friday to February 9 it suspends flights to Beijing.

Suspicion of the appearance of a coronavirus has also appeared in Italy. A fever was detected in a Chinese citizen aboard the Costa Smeralda cruise ship. The Italian authorities have decided to quarantine all passengers, which means that 6,000 persons cannot leave the ship deck, moored in the port of Civitavecchi, near Rome.

So far, a dozen or so people who have recently visited China with suspected coronavirus have reported to Polish hospitals. So far, however, it ended only on suspicion.

Polish doctors have also had the 2019-nCoV primers from yesterday, i.e. the genetic parts of the virus that can be compared with samples taken from patients and thus determine whether they were infected with 2019-nCoV. So far, Polish doctors have been forced to send samples to foreign laboratories.

Russia, in turn, decided to close its entire eastern border. This action will definitely reduce the potential number of coronavirus carriers coming to Russia, but it was introduced a bit too late to count on 100%. effectiveness.

The coronavirus will appear in Poland. It is only known when

Łukasz Szumowski, the Minister of Health, is convinced of this development. Szumowski also adds that Polish hospitals are prepared for the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Activities associated with the appearance of the Chinese coronavirus have also been announced by the Supreme Audit Office , which wants to see how well prepared our country is in the face of a possible epidemic threat.

This means inspections in selected hospitals, airports, seaports, medical rescue units and sanitary stations. In addition, NIK will look at scenarios that individual provinces and the Ministry of Health are planning to use in the event of an epidemic.

The Ministry of Health calls for reason and peace

Minister Łukasz Szumowski asks citizens not to report to infectious wards due to ordinary fever.

- Influenza and influenza infection is a bigger problem in Poland right now - says the minister .

He also adds that flu is just as contagious and just as deadly as 2019-nCoV, which means that the new coronavirus is not statistically as dangerous as it may seem.

People with so-called coronavirus are at risk of the most serious complications resulting from coronavirus infection. high-risk groups, i.e. those who take immunosuppressants, have recently undergone organ transplant surgery, heart attacks, pneumonia and other conditions that significantly weaken the body.

The first symptoms of influenza and coronavirus are virtually identical anyway: high temperature, difficulty breathing, coughing, etc. So if you notice such symptoms at home and did not return a few days ago from around Wuhan, do not panic. It's probably just the flu. And if you've been to China, a short guide on how to proceed is already prepared by the Ministry of Health:

If in the last 14 days you have been to China or had contact with a person who was in China at the time, and at the same time you have the following symptoms:

- body temperature above 38 ℃
cough, shortness of breath

you should report to the hospital ward of infectious diseases near you. A list of hospital departments of infectious disease throughout the country can be found in the attachment below.

Remember that a visit to China or contact with a person who has recently been to China is important when disease symptoms occur.

The Minister of Health and the President of the National Health Fund issued recommendations to all institutions operating infectious disease departments regarding procedures to be used in the event of a threat of coronavirus infection. At the same time, we emphasize that so far in Poland we have not found any case of a person infected with coronavirus.

We remind you that we have a season of increased incidence of influenza, hence the request for calmness and abstinence in issuing hasty judgments regarding the possible occurrence of a case of coronavirus infection.

Remember that flu can not be underestimated. In case of flu symptoms such as:

- body temperature above 38 ℃;
general feeling of being unwell
- muscle and joint pain;
- cough, runny nose, shortness of breath
- we recommend visiting a primary care physician.

People who do not trust government announcements can always go to the pharmacy for a face mask and observe the data on the incidence of 2019-nCoV in real time compiled by scientists from the University of John Hopkins.
