At present, the patient's condition is stable, and the close contacts of the case are medically observed and sampled and tested. No abnormalities are found in the results.

On the 18th, he moved to the ICU ward and collected respiratory specimens for investigation by the Xiamen City CDC. The patients were not able to buy vegetables at nearby farmers’ markets on weekdays, and they did not even go to the farmers’ market to buy food 10 days before the onset of illness.
