A Chinese national has been identified as the probable source of the new outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic spreading widely in China’s Fujian province. According to state media, Lin Moujie, who returned from Singapore and completed 28-day-long quarantine period including three weeks at a centralised isolation point, had tested negative for nine nucleic acid and one serum tests during the four weeks.
Some Covid cases including asymptomatic ones have been found in Putian, Quanzhou and provincial capital, Xiamen in Fujian province.
Preliminary testing on samples from some cases in Putian city showed patients had contracted the highly transmissible delta variant, a local health official said on Saturday. The first few infections, found during routine testing, were elementary students in Xianyou county in Putian. Of these students, two are children of the first patient Lin. From there, experts suspected the source of the outbreak might be a student’s parent who had travelled to the county from nearby Xiamen city after arriving from Singapore, state media reported on Saturday.
Then it was found that Lin entered the Xiamen airport from Singapore on August 4. After being isolated for 14 days in Xiamen, he was shifted to the Xianyou county’s centralised isolation point on August 19 to continue with his remaining quarantine period.
“The official notification showed that during the 21-day quarantine period after entry, Lin Moujie conducted a total of nine nucleic acid tests and one serum test, and the results were all negative,” Hindustan Times quoted the state media report as saying.
Meanwhile, Xianyou, with a population of about 900,000, has sealed up some areas deemed of higher risk and started a testing drive. The county has also halted buses and taxi services, closed a long-distance bus station, and barred passengers from boarding or getting off from its train station, state media said.
