Chapter 42 Preventive Control
"You...what did you say?"
The security guard who was pulled was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Ji's dress and reacted: "Oh, you are the lady from yesterday, right?"
It turned out that the other party was the big, muscular security guard who helped Gu Ji pull the fight yesterday.
"I said there is an outbreak of an infectious disease. Immediately close the cruise ship and contact the medical police system on the ship and Kagoshima for control to avoid the spread of the virus!" Gu Ji loudly emphasized again.
This time, not only was the security guard covered, Mio Ito and several nearby tourists who heard the sound opened their eyes wide and froze in place.
"Female... Madam, please don't make any noise first. This will cause panic among tourists."
The security guard grabbed Gu Ji's wrist and took him and Mio to the edge of the hall. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie on his waist and said nervously: "Manager Morita, this is Xiao Takeo. There is an emergency in the hall. Please come over." trip!"
Soon, a manager in a black suit, with a three-quarter-point haircut and silver-rimmed glasses came over, "Xiao Wu, what's going on?"
Before Xiao Wuyefu could speak, Gu Ji repeated the process just now, took out his mobile phone, and found the photos and videos of the source host and all the close contacts taken yesterday:
"This is evidence. I have noticed this man in the brown hat since noon yesterday. The silver-haired old man who came into contact with him has symptoms of cough. The middle-aged woman in the photo, the one on the right in the red skirt, also There is this..."
As Gu Ji spoke, he pointed at several tourists queuing in the crowd. Not only could they correspond to each other one by one, they even had coughing and uncomfortable expressions.
"This virus has a very short incubation period, is highly contagious, and has a rapid onset. In just one day, twenty or thirty people have been infected. Now listen carefully to the sounds in the hall. This is not enough to explain the situation. Is it serious?"
The words fell.
Manager Morita, Kotakenoo, and Mio Ito all pricked up their ears and listened quietly to the noise coming from the crowd.
"Ahem..."
One blast, five blasts, ten blasts!
Manager Morita's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to feel something was wrong. After his eyes changed a few times, he immediately took out his walkie-talkie and muttered a few words, probably calling the medical staff.
Then, he looked up and down a few times, focused on the mask and gloves, and said, "Madam, how did you discover these problems? And your mask and..."
The implication of Morita's words is very obvious.
Normal tourists rarely pay attention to the condition of strangers, let alone take photos to collect evidence, and wear masks and medical gloves.
"Observer from the Epidemiology Department of the Xiangzhou Center for Health Protection: Jiang Na, our CHP recently discovered that a mysterious virus appeared in Xiangzhou. Through tracing its source, it is suspected that it may be hidden in the Platinum Star cruise ship, so the director sent me to conduct a secret investigation .”
Facing the manager's questioning look, Gu Ji once again played the trick of "pulling the skin of a tiger".
Xiangzhou CHP is a health organization similar to Xia Guo and the US CDC, which specializes in handling public health incidents, and the Platinum Star is the name of this cruise ship.
He had seen from Jiang Na's ticket early in the morning that the cruise ship would pass through Xiangzhou.
So it is reasonable for Xiangzhou CHP to participate in it, right?
But Manager Morita doesn't seem to be easy to fool, mainly because the current scene is not as urgent as the airport attack, so he has enough time to think calmly.
After murmuring "CHP" a few times, he suddenly smiled and said, "Can I take a look at Ms. Jiang's passport?"
"Can."
Gu Ji handed over the passport in his pocket.
While Morita was checking his passport, several medical staff in white coats rushed over from the elevator entrance, and they immediately started talking.
"That Morita is repeating the questions you asked, asking whether early prevention and control is needed, and asking whether it is legal for Xiangzhou CHP to intervene."
At this time, Mio Ito was at the side and thoughtfully helped Gu Ji translate.
"I'm sorry, Mio, I lied to you and concealed my identity from you."
Gu Ji apologized.
Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Mio Ito took the initiative to hold his hand and said excitedly: "No need to apologize, it is necessary for work, and my sister is so cool, okay? It seems like she is filming a movie!"
After a while, a middle-aged woman with short hair came out of a white coat. She seemed to be the head of the infirmary.
"Hello Ms. Jiang, I am Dr. Songdao. How do you determine that these close contacts are infected with your so-called mysterious virus and not ordinary influenza?"
"I can't tell for the time being. They are in the early stages of the disease. They only have simple cough, fever, and muscle pain. They cannot be distinguished from influenza. Further tests are needed, but..."
Speaking of the last sentence, Gu Ji suddenly changed the subject:
"Even if it is ordinary influenza, shouldn't we pay attention to it in a semi-enclosed environment like a cruise ship? According to the infectious disease prevention and control measures: if concentrated medical records are found, they should be reported to the disease surveillance information reporting management system immediately to track the source of the disease."
"Close contacts should be followed up and isolated for medical observation to prevent further spread of the disease, and an expert team should be established to be responsible for case determination and active treatment of patients."
With just a few words, Xiao Takeo and several medical staff were stunned. Mio Ito looked at Gu Ji with admiration.
Matsushima and Morita looked at each other and nodded, acknowledging his professionalism.
"Hehehe..."
Morita laughed and walked up to Gu Ji, "Ms. Jiang, since it has not yet been confirmed that it is the mysterious virus you mentioned, I suggest not to exaggerate too much. If you report it directly to the emergency management management and block the cruise ship, it will not only cause Strong resistance from tourists will also cause panic to the citizens of Kagoshima Prefecture."
"But we will not ignore this matter. For sick tourists, we will jointly carry out active treatment with the county hospital bureau, and extract blood samples and send them for testing. What do you think?"
The cruise ship blockade will cause the greatest losses to the ship.
Not only do tickets need to be refunded, but tourists also have to be compensated, which will also affect subsequent ticket sales revenue.
Therefore, Morita seems to be negotiating, but in fact he will not give in at all.
Gu Ji has no better way now. After all, the current physical symptoms of all infected people are exactly the same as those of ordinary flu.
Moreover, the number of people gathered in the hall was too large, between two and three thousand people, far exceeding Ryder Airport.
He shouted out the truth. If it caused panic and triggered a series of stampedes and casualties, he might be taken away by the police directly. The gain would not be worth the loss.
Anyway, the cruise ship will treat the patients, which can also prevent the further spread of the virus...
Gu Ji nodded.
Morita immediately contacted the radio station.
Soon, the ship's announcement sounded, first in Japanese and then in English:
"Dear tourists, we are sorry to inform you that there are cold cases on the cruise ship. To prevent the spread of influenza, please take the initiative to report the following people who have cough, fever, or physical discomfort and cooperate with the medical office for active treatment. All expenses will be borne by the cruise ship .”
There will be another update soon!
