Virginia: The man does not pose a risk
A deputy U.S. chief health officer said on Friday Annaliese van Diemen she didn't think the man from U.S. to New State would pose a risk to the community.
When asked why he did not perform a second test before allowing him to leave isolation, van Diemen doctors said that the state authorities followed national isolation release standards consistent with World Health Organization standards.
That is, the patient has been released from isolation for 10 days or more since the onset of symptoms, including 72 hours of asymptomatic and fever-free, and is clinically cleared (risk of infection) and ends the isolation. "said Dr. van Diemen.
"The reason for not conducting clearance tests is that people can take weeks to months to remove this virus. removal virus not the same as infectious.
The man met the criteria and then stayed for another two days after meeting the isolation criteria, as he was still in the hotel isolation.
According to that standard, he would be released from quarantine at any hotel in his country, including any Melbourne person who returned to Melbourne after the Sydney hotel was quarantined. "
Asked if there was any confidence that the man's would not constitute public safety, van Diemen doctor said ," Yes, I am. "
