Zhang Wenhong, the Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital, at Fudan University, Shanghai and the head of the medical expert team to fight the novel coronavirus in Shanghai, expressed that he was worried to see Shanghai’s newly confirmed infection count was zero.
On February 27, Shanghai reported zero newly confirmed infection cases. “I’m concerned,” Zhang said. “How can it be zero with so many people coming into Shanghai? The more cases we find, the safer our city is.”

上海27日无新增确诊患者。张文宏说，确诊病例“这个时候是零我倒是很担心，这么多人进来怎么会是零呢？输入性的病例发现的越多，我们城市就越安全。”
在28日驾车回市中心的路上，张文宏遭遇到了堵车。他表示，这说明这个城市开始经济复苏了，但经济复苏了不代表防疫等级降低或者警惕性下降。各家医院发热门诊的筛查，事实比前一段做得更加紧。
张文宏说，上海的防控等级现在还是很高，还是不鼓励出现密接度非常高的情况。疫情防控不是政府一家的事情，跟每一家都有关系，每个人都要有高度的警惕性。
