WUHAN (The Straits Times/ANN): As coronavirus patients continue to be discharged daily from Wuhan hospitals, the mystery of long-term patients continues to confound doctors at Jinyintan Hospital, in what the hospital's chief has said is one of its 'biggest concerns'.

Dr Zhang Dingyu of Jinyintan Hospital briefs journalists on the work of the hospital during the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, central China's Hubei province on April 9, 2020. - AP

China on Thursday reported 63 new confirmed cases, 61 of which were imported from overseas. The number of imported cases is posing the country's biggest challenge, along with asymptomatic patients. Doctors quickly started taking samples from patients, and identified the disease as being very closely related to SARS or severe acute respiratory syndrome, Dr Zhang told reporters at a government-organised tour on Thursday.

The hospital tests for the virus from four samples - nasal, oral, rectal and blood - and most patients remaining have tested negative in all samples except for their oral ones. As travel restrictions ease and more overseas Chinese travel back home, there are concerns that asymptomatic patients might cause a second wave of infections.Authorities started releasing figures of such asymptomatic cases on April 1, but do not offer a breakdown of where they occur.

In a recent study, researchers found that undetected cases, a majority of whom were mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic, were primarily responsible for the rapid spread of the coronavirus in China.

Post-lockdown, life re-emerges in coronavirus epicentre WuhanAuthorities in the city of 11 million on Wednesday lifted the curbs they put in place in January. Tq wuhan for this pandemic. I'm no proponent of China's open door policy. The past 10 years, 9 out of 10 items in most homes are either made or manufactured in China. That alone tells where the world economy is heading to. Economic conquest by a single nation. Looking at the stupid things Perikatan Nasional Malay Islamofascists and their running dogs who got themselves appointed PM and Ministers by the Agong are doing, Malaysia may never come out of this pandemic.
