atepeq/tico19 huggingface dataset:
Where cases are detected unexpectedly, it is probably helpful for that patient, their contacts, and the practice to know.
Lapho kutholwa abantu abagulayo kungalindelwe, kuzoba usizo ukuthi leso siguli, abathintwayo baso, kanye nodokotela azi.
The impact on practices has been to close for a day, if a case is found, for deep cleaning and then reopen.
Umthelela oba khona kodokotela uwukuthi avale lolu suku, uma kutholwe ogulayo, ukuze kuhlanzisiswe bese kuvulwa kabusha.
The principal limitations of our system are the number of data points.
Imikhawulo eyinhloko yesistimu yethu inani lamaphoyinti edatha.
We are collecting serology and virology data from 100 sites, which covers a small group of the population.
Siqoqa idatha ye-serology namagciwane yezikhungo ezingu-100, okukhava iqembu elincane lesibalo sabantu.
This has been satisfactory for monitoring influenza, but we are not certain if this is a sufficiently large sample for the COVID-19 outbreak.
Lokhu bekwanelisa ukuqashwe imfuluwenza, kodwa asiqiniseki ukuthi leli isampula elikhulu kakhulu yini ngokuqondene nokubheduka kwe-COVID-19.
Our sites (surveillance practices) are currently fixed, and it could be helpful to be able to rapidly onboard practices in regions where there are more cases.
Izikhungo zethu (izindawo zokugada) okwamanje azishintshile, futhi kungase kube usizo ukwandisa odokotela ezindaweni lapho kunokugula okwengeziwe.
Currently, we will be reporting weekly.
Okwamanje, sizobe sibika maviki onke.
Our existing system can be enhanced to twice weekly, but maybe daily or hourly data should be our current approach.
Isistimu yethu ekhona kakade ingase ithuthukiswe ukuze ibe kabili ngeviki, kodwa mhlawumbe kufanele ngabe silwela ukuthola idatha yansuku zonke noma yehora nehora.
Opportunistic sampling for serology in children younger than 10 years might be limited due to the overall reduced rate of blood tests in children.
Ukuthathwa kwesampula le-serology lapho amasosha omzimba ecindezelekile ezinganeni ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-10 kungase kukhawulwe ngenxa yenani elinciphile lokuhlolwa kwegazi ezinganeni.
The extended surveillance using the RCGP RSC-PHE network for the emergent COVID-19 outbreak has been established rapidly.
Ukugadwa okunwetshiwe okusebenzisa inethiwekhi ye-RCGP RSC-PHE ngenxa yokuvela kokubheduka kwe-COVID-19 isungulwe ngokushesha.
The model of getting the appropriate informatics to enable capture of the required data has already been a success, with data recording starting the week the codes were created.
Imodeli yokuthola ulwazi olufanele ukuze kuvunyelwe ukuthathwa kwedatha edingekile sekuvele kube yimpumelelo, futhi ukurekhodwa kwedatha kuqala ngeviki lokukwakhiwa kwamakhodi.
In addition, modifying the existing surveillance system to collect population data in a parallel way has also been effective.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukushintsha isistimu yokugadwa ekhona kakade ukuze kuqoqwe idatha yabantu ngendlela efanayo nakho kube yimpumelelo.
However, we are at present unsure as to whether the scale of this surveillance provides sufficient data to drive local containment strategies or if reporting infrequently meets the need of our information age.
Nokho, okwamanje asiqiniseki ngokuthi izinga lalokhu kugadwa linikeza idatha eyanele yini yokuqhuba amasu okulawulwa asendaweni noma uma ukungabiki njalo kuhlangabezana nesidingo senkathi yethu yezobuchwepheshe.
Updating the diagnostic criteria of COVID-19 “suspected case” and “confirmed case” is necessary
Ukubuyekezwa kombandela wokuxilongwa kwalabo “abasolwa” futhi “abaqinisekisiwe” ukuthi baphethwe i-COVID-19 kuyadinga
On 6 February 2020, our team had published a rapid advice guideline for diagnosis and treatment of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection, and this guideline provided our experience and make well reference for fighting against this pandemic worldwide.
Ngo-6 February 2020, ithimba lethu lalishicilele umhlahlandlela weseluleko esisheshayo sokuxilongwa nokwelashwa kokutheleleka kwe-coronavirus entsha ka-2019 (2019-nCoV), futhi lo mhlahlandlela wanikeza okuhlangenwe nakho kwethu kanye nokwenza ireferensi efanele yokulwa lolu bhubhane lomhlaba wonke.
However, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new disease, our awareness and knowledge are gradually increasing based on the ongoing research findings and clinical practice experience; hence, the strategies of diagnosis and treatment are also continually updated.
Nokho, isifo se-coronavirus sika-2019 (I-COVID-19) isifo esisha, ukuqapha nokuqonda kwethu kuyanyuka ngokusekelwe kucwaningo oluqhubekayo nokuhlangenwe nakho kwezinqubo zokwelashwa; yingakho, amasu okuxilongwa nokwelashwa eqhubeka ebuyekezwa njalo.
In this letter, we answered one comment on our guideline and provided the newest diagnostic criteria of “suspected case” and “confirmed case” according to the latest Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for COVID-19 (seventh version) that issued by the National Health Committee of the People’s Republic of China.
Kule ncwadi, siphendule ukuphawula okukodwa okumayelana nomhlahlandlela wethu futhi sanikeza umbandela wokuhlonzwa omusha walabo “abasolwa” futhi “okuqinisekisiwe” ukuthi bayagula ngokuvumelana ne-Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for COVID-19 (uhlelo lwesikhombisa) olukhishwa yi-National Health Committee of the People’s Republic of China.
In December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has caused an outbreak, which is now officially named as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the virus has been named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Ngo-December 2019, i-coronavirus entsha ka-2019 (2019-nCoV) yayibangele ukubheduka, manje okubizwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuthi i-coronavirus disease 2019 (I-COVID-19) futhi igciwane liqanjwe ngokuthi i-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
On 11 March 2020, WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic.
Ngo-11 March 2020, i-WHO yabhekisela ku-COVID-19 njengobhubhane.
In order to fight against the SARS-CoV-2 infection, our team has developed a rapid advice guideline and that has been published online in Military Medical Research on 06 February 2020.
Ukuze kuliwe nokutheleleka kwe-SARS-CoV-2, ithimba lethu lisungule umhlahlandlela wokusabela okusheshayo futhi ushicilelwe ku-inthanethi ku-Military Medical Research ngo-06 February 2020.
It has attracted a great attention since published.
Ithole ukunakwa okukhulu kusukela yashicilelwa.
Note however that COVID-19 is a new disease, our awareness and knowledge is gradually increasing based on the ongoing research findings and clinical practice experience; hence, the strategies of diagnosis and treatment are also continually updated.
Qaphela nokho ukuthi i-COVID-19 iyisifo esisha, ukuqapha kanye nolwazi ngayo luya ngokuya lwanda ngokusekelwe kulokho okutholwa kucwaningo kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho kwezokwelashwa; yingakho, amasu okuxilongwa nokwelashwa eqhubeka ebuyekezwa.
For instance the Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for COVID-19 issued by the National Health Committee of the People’s Republic of China (http://www.nhc.gov.cn/), among 16 January 2020 to 3 March 2020, has issued a total of seven editions with some contexts being substantively changed.
Ngokwesibonelo i-Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for COVID-19 eyakhishwa yi-National Health Committee of the People’s Republic of China (http://www.nhc.gov.cn/), phakathi kuka-16 January 2020 kuya ku-3 March 2020, iye yakhipha imiqulu eyisikhombisa lapho ezinye izinto zishintshwe ngokuphawulekayo.
Now our guideline received a comment by Zhou et al., they introduced a simple scoring proposal based on their clinical experience.
Umhlahlandlela wethu wathola ukuphawula okuvela ku-Zhou et al., bethula isiphakamiso esilula samaphuzu ngokusekelwe kokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo.
Their work added new evidence for our guideline and also make valuable reference for this pandemic worldwide.
Umsebenzi wabo wengeza ubufakazi obusha womhlahlandlela wethu futhi wenza ukubhekisela okubalulekile kwalolu bhubhane emhlabeni kabanzi.
We endorse their significant work and express our thanks.
Siyawutusa umsebenzi wabo obalulekile futhi sidlulisa ukubonga kwethu.
However, their work also needs update according to the latest Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for COVID-19 (Trial seventh version) and recently studies.
Nokho, umebenzi wabo udinga ukubuyekezwa ngokuvumelana ne-Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for COVID-19 (Uhlelo lwesikhombisa locwaningo) yakamuva nezingcwaningo zakamuva.
According to the seventh edition (3 March 2020), to confirm the suspected case needs to combine any one item of epidemiological history features with two items of clinical manifestations to make a comprehensive analysis, or needs to meet three items of clinical manifestations if without clear epidemiological history:
Ngokohlelo lwesikhombisa (3 March 2020), ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukugulwa okusolwayo kudingeka ukuthi kuhlangniswe noma iyiphi into eyodwa yezici zomlando we-epidemiological nezinto ezimbili zokuboniswa kwezokwelshwa ukuze kwenziwe ukuhlaziywa okubanzi, noma idinga ukuhlangabezana nezinto ezintathu zokuboniswa kwezokwelashwa ezingenawo umlando ocacile we-epidemiological:
Epidemiological history: (1) a history of travel or residence in Wuhan city and surrounding areas, or other communities where COVID-19 cases had been reported in the last 14 days before symptom onset; (2) a history of contact with SARS-CoV-2 infectious cases (with positive nucleic acid test); (3) a history of contacting with patients with fever or respiratory symptoms from Wuhan city and surrounding areas, or other communities where COVID-19 had been reported in the last 14 days before symptom onset; (4) a history of contacting with cluster of confirmed cases (≥ 2 cases with fever and/or respiratory symptoms occurred within 2 weeks in small areas, such as home, office, class of school, etc).
Umlando we-epidemiological: (1) umlando wokuvakashela noma wokuhlala edolobheni lase-Wuhan nezindawo ezizungezile, noma eminye imiphakathi lapho okubikwe khona ukugula kwe-COVID-19 ezinsukwini ezingu-14 ezidlule ngaphambi kokuqala kwezimpawu; (2) umlando wokuxhumana nabantu abatheleleke nge-SARS-CoV-2 (ngokuhlola kwe-nucleic acid okuphozithivu); (3) umlando wokuxhumana neziguli eziphethwe imfiva noma izimpawu zokuphefumula edolobheni lase-Wuhan nezindawo ezizungezile, noma eminye imiphakathi lapho kubikwe khona i-COVID-19 ezinsukwini ezingu-14 ngaphambi kokuqala kwezimpawu; (4) umlando wokuhlangana neziguli eziningi eziqinisekisiwe (iziguli ≥ ezingu-2 ezinemfiva kanye/noma izimpawu zokuphefumula ezivele phakathi namaviki angu-2 ezindaweni ezincane, njengasekhaya, ehhovisi, ekilasini lasesikoleni, njll).
Clinical manifestations: (1) fever and/ or respiratory symptoms; (2) with imaging features of COVID-19 infection; (3) total white blood cell counts showing normal, decreased, or reduced lymphocyte count in the early onset stage.
Ukubonakala kwezokwelashwa: (1) imfiva kanye/ noma izimpawu zokuphefumula; (2) ezinezici zomfanekiso wokutheleleka kwe-COVID-19; (3) ingqikithi yesibalo samaseli egazi amhlophe abonisa isibalo se-lymphocyte esivamile, esehlile, noma esinciphile esigabeni sokuqala.
Diagnosing the confirmed case should base on suspected case with any one item of pathogenic or serological evidence as following: (1) real-time PCR test positive for SARS-CoV-2; (2) viral whole genome sequencing showing high homogeneity to the known novel coronaviruses; (3) positive for the specific IgM antibody and IgG antibody to SARS-CoV-2 in serum test; or a change of the SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibody from negative to positive, or titer rising ≥4 times in the recovery phase above that in the acute phase.
Ukuxilongwa kokugula okuqinisekisiwe kufanele kusekelwe ekuguleni okusolwayo okunento eyodwa yobufakazi obulandelayo be-pathogenic noma be-serological: (1) ukuhlola okuphozithivu kwe-PCR yesikhathi sangempela se-SARS-CoV-2; (2) ukulandelana kwe-genome ephelele yegciwane okubonisa i-homogeneity ephakeme kumagciwane aziwayo e-coronavirus entsha; (3) ukuba phozithivu ngokuba nesivikeli-mzimba esiqondile se-IgM kanye nesivikeli-mzimba se-IgG ye-SARS-CoV-2 ekuhloleni kwe-serum; noma ushintsho lwesivikeli-mzimba esiqondile se-IgG ye-SARS-CoV-2 esisuka kuphozithivu siye kunegethivu, noma i-titer ekhula izikhathi ezingu-≥4 esigabeni sokululama esingaphezu kwaleso sesigaba esibucayi.
We can see that the real-time PCR test for nucleic acid in respiratory tract or blood samples was added to the second (18 January 2020) and third (22 January 2020) editions.
Siyabona ukuthi ukuhlola kwesikhathi sangempela kwe-PCR ye-nucleic acid kumgudu wokuphefumula noma kumasampula egazi sengezwe ezinhlelweni zesibili (18 January 2020) nezesithathu (22 January 2020).
The pathogenic detection of blood sample was added to the fourth (27 January 2020) and fifth (8 February 2020) editions; and then the serological evidence was added to the seventh edition.
Ukutholwa oku-pathogenic kwesampula legazi kwengezwe ezinhlelweni zesine (27 January 2020) nezesihlanu (8 February 2020); futhi ubufakazi be-serological bufakwe ohlelweni lwesikhombisa.
These modifications based on the researchers continued work that to search for an optimal nucleic acid detection kit for rapid diagnosis, as well as the samples from respiratory tract including blood sampling, which increased the availability of different specimens, and supported bringing the specific antibody positive result into the confirmed criteria.
Lezi zinguquko ezisekelwe kumsebenzi oqhubekayo wabacwaningi wokucinga ikhithi yokutholwa kwe-nucleic acid ephakeme yokuxilongwa okusheshayo, kanye namasampula omgudu wokuphefumula okuhlanganisa isampula legazi, okunyuse ukutholakala kwezicubu ezihlukene, futhi kwasekela ukulethwa komphumela ophozithivu wesivikeli-mzimba esithile kumbandela oqinisekisiwe.
Besides, there are more and more evidence that remind us to caution with the atypical symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, kukhona ubufakazi obengeziwe obusikhumbuza ukuthi siqaphe ngeziguli ezinezimpawu ezingavamile nalezo ezingenazo izimpawu.
Hence, the flow chart of Zhou et al. should be updated, as they classified the person without clinical symptoms as “low risk”.
Yingakho, ishadi lokugeleza le-Zhou et al. kufanele libuyekezwe, njengoba libhekisela kumuntu ongenazo izimpawu zokwelashwa “njengosengozini ephansi”.
The score system also needs to be verified in further clinical practice and studies.
Inqubo yamaphuzu nayo idinga ukuqinisekiswa emsebenzini nasezifundweni zokwelapha eziqhubekahyo.
To conclude, we hope more direct evidence coming up and call for readers to provide their comments.
Ekuphetheni, sithemba ukuthi kunobufakazi obengeziwe obuzayo futhi sicela ukuthi abafundi baphawule.
For the diagnosis of “suspected case” and “confirmed case”, we suggest to trace and obey the newest guidelines of their home countries.
Ukuze kwenziwe ukuxilongwa “kokugula okusolwayo” kanye “nokugula okuqinisekisiwe”, situsa ukuthi kulandelelwe futhi kulalelwe imihlahlandlela emisha yamazwe ekhaya labo.
Our team will also timely update our guideline to offer help.
Ithimba lethu lizophinde futhi libuyekeze umhlahlandlela wethu ukuze sinikeze usizo.
