Since COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan China, local main stream medias have been providing daily updated reports regarding the COVID-19, and here is the figure updated on 17th Feb. 2020, based on data of 16th Feb. 2020:
70, 639 hospital stays
1,772 deaths
7,264 under surveillance
11,040 cured
Also we can find daily updated report provided by WHO, here is latest updated on 16th Feb. 2020.
For our city Chengdu, which is 1300 kilometers away from Wuhan, with population of 84 million, so far 140 diagnosed, and all are isolated in hospital and having medical curing, 3 deaths and 53 cured. From the following screenshot of updated on 17th Feb. 2020, the good news is ZERO new diagnosed and ZERO new death.
People in Chengdu like in most of other cities (excl. Wuhan), since COVID-19 outbreak, the citizens stayed home for 14 days. Companies including SMEs stopped calling staff back to work from spring festival until working application get approved by local government. People and entrepreneurs were suffering big loss, but they all understood such a sacrifice is necessary and very much helpful to get through the virus outbreak and bring life back to track.
Without Chinese government fast actions taken to control the virus spreading, COVID-19 would have been spread far more than it looks now and more people would have been died.
Considering the COVID-19 is a new virus that at the very beginning of outbreaking, there was no existing official medical method to diagnose and methods and medicines for curing contracted people. The COVID-19 in China can be well controlled is all because of a pan country’s sacrifice to protect un-contracted people in the world.
DALA Working & Precaution
Before we were approved by local government to resume work, we all stayed home for 15 days. Staff healthy is the highest priority concern at this moment, DALA prepared surgical masks for its staff daily replacement, and record staff biological temperature three times a day:
We are wearing surgical masks / N95 masks during all working time in company. And adjusted seats locations to keep at least 1.5 meters away from people to people.
The traditional Chinese medical (TCM) is proved efficient to prevent and cure people from COVID-19, and the formula of this TCM is harmless to heathy. DALA also prepared TCM for its staff. It is a soup and tasted like lite America coffee.
In our factory plant and offices, we use diluent chlorine-containing disinfectant to spray on floor every day at off time.
And clean desks:
Option & Facts
The flu-like virus called COVID-19 is a new virus, fast spreading from people to people and still the medicine is under-developing process. ‘New Virus’, ‘Fast Spreading from people to people’, ‘Medicine under developing’, that’s why people fear of it.
“Coronavirus is a group of viruses that are quite common,” Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, WHO’s chief scientist, said. “There are many known strains of coronavirus. It is possible that there will be another strain of coronavirus. Then that could also be named by the year it appeared.”
In fact, the flu in America is not a new virus, spreading fast from people to people, and there are methods to diagnose and medicine for it, yet it caused much more death than COVID-19.
More than 26 million Americans have gotten sick with the flu so far this season, leading to an estimated 14,000 deaths and 250,000 hospital stays, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“We have not yet peaked for influenza. We are still on our way up,” Dr. David Weber, a University of North Carolina infectious-diseases specialist, said of the patient traffic in Chapel Hill.
*Because influenza surveillance does not capture all cases of flu that occur in the U.S., CDC provides these estimated ranges to better reflect the larger burden of influenza. These estimates are calculated based on CDC’s weekly influenza surveillance data and are preliminary.

From the daily updated report by China government, after sealed Wuhan city and fighting against with COVID-19 20 days, the new diagnosed figure is dropping down and more contracts getting cured. The report data is also sync. with WHO daily reports. China finds a way to stop virus spreading, takes quick and efficient moves by co-working with international professionals to find the way to diagnose contracts of the new virus, and deploying traditional Chinese medical together with modern western medical to fight against the virus. So far, we have reasons to believe that China will get through the COVID-19 in a short time. The experiences and medical development will contribute to all countries for preventing COVID-19 or curing contracts.
