SHENZHEN government officials and health experts shared their experience in containing the COVID-19 pandemic with peers from Kenya on Thursday via a video conference.


Participants from Kenya raised questions relating to epidemic prevention and control measures, hospital management, effective medical treatments and test methods.


Wu Bing, deputy director of Shenzhen’s public health commission, and Liu Lei and Yuan Jing, Shenzhen No. 3 People’s Hospital’s head and director of the hospital’s infection department, gave detailed answers to the questions.


Concerning the accuracy of different test methods, Yuan suggested that the nucleic acid test is still the most efficient method to confirm COVID-19 infected patients.


“It is true that even nucleic acid tests might ma errors. So we recommend collecting samples from patients’ upper respiratory tract to reduce test inaccuracies,” said Yuan.


Concerning the question raised by doctors from Kenya about treatments for infected children, Yuan said that as most infected children in China showed very mild symptoms, medical observation is the most important treatment for them.


“Keeping a good state of mind is also important for infected children to get a fast and full recovery from the disease,” added Yuan.

Shenzhen and African countries have established a close relationship in terms of economic trade as well as cultural exchanges.

In order to help Kenya fight against the COVID-19 during this tough time, Shenzhen is preparing a batch of anti-epidemic materials and will send it to Kenya, said an official during the conference.

It is also said that the Kenyan Government has decided to use the referral hospital of the Kenyatta University constructed by a Jiangxi-based company as the designated hospital to treat and quarantine infected COVID-19 patients.

Shenzhen has held video conferences with two sister cities, namely Poznan, Poland, and Barcelona, Spain, to share COVID-19 experience March 26 and April 7, respectively.
