According to “Xiakedao,” a social media account that People’s Daily operates, on February 9, 2020, Wuhan stepped up its all-out campaign to round up every single one of the four types of suspected nCov patients.
The four types are: confirmed patients, suspected patients, those in close contact with the former two, and those who have a fever.
Total of 16,739 officials and employees from agencies and enterprises directly affiliated with the city government took part in the Feb 9 roundup. They joined existing residential community work groups to comb through the entire population of around 10 million. These work groups are conducting door-to-door health checks to identify potential carriers who need be isolated.
Sun Chunlan, the female Vice Premier of China’s State Council, who called for a “people’s war” against the fast-spreading virus, gave the order on February 6. Guangming Daily, the State Council’s official newspaper, issued a commentary on February 9 saying that it was of the utmost importance to quarantine these people centrally, so that the spread of the epidemic could be stopped. The commentary also acknowledged the lack of medical supplies in Wuhan, but it claimed that over 11,000 medical staff members have been dispatched to Wuhan from across China.
It is not yet clear what the total number of these four types of people will be. Earlier reports have indicated that there is a devastating environment in the large, new quarantine facilities that were converted from stadiums or exhibition centers.

【岛叔说】今天，武汉搞了个大动作
Original 吕德文 侠客岛
今天（2月9日），武汉全市开展了一个大行动：整合市直机关企事业单位党员干部、职工及高校教师，共16739人，下沉到疫情较重的社区，统一编入街道社区工作队，全天候全覆盖排查“四类人员”，确保应收尽收、不漏一人。
在一个1000多万人口的大城市，做这项工作相当不易。但同时，这也是一个必须要做、尽快要做的重要工作，对最终打赢武汉防疫攻坚战具有关键意义。
