据《印度斯坦时报》报道，一艘19名中国船员的集装箱船在离开中国港口14天后，到达印度Chennai 港，2名中国船员因有发烧疑似新冠肺炎，抵港后，2名中国船员在本周三，已被采集血样，送至化验，等待确诊。2名船员已与其它17名船员进行隔离，集装箱船的货物在印度印度Chennai 港暂停卸货。

Two Chinese crew members of a ship, which arrived from the novel coronavirus-hit China, have been kept in isolation due to fever while the vessel has been “kept away from access”, the Chennai Port Trust said here on Wednesday.

The ship with 19 Chinese crew had visited ports in that country and was allowed here on Tuesday after the 14-day incubation period from its last visit to a Chinese Port and after ensuring that all the crew were healthy based on pre arrival monitoring, a release from the Port Trust said.

On berthing, a health team of the Port Health Officer (PHO) boarded the vessel and examined all the crew.

“It was observed that two of the 19 crew members had mild fever without other respiratory symptoms and otherwise healthy in all respects.” “These crew members were isolated within the ship and the ship is kept away from access of anybody from shore side and no crew is allowed shore access,” it added.

The blood samples of the isolated individuals were collected on Wednesday by a state Health team and the PHO and sent to the city-based Kings Institute of Preventive Medicine, it said, adding, the results were expected later in the day.

“After receipt of the report, the Port authorities and officials of PHO will take strict measures as per the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) regarding further action,” the release added.

The outbreak of coronavirus, known as COVID-19, in China has left 2004 people dead in the Asian country, even as the overal confirmed cases has crossed 74,000.

新冠肺炎，船员一旦感染，可能影响一条船的靠港和装卸货，尽管船舶中央空调可以采用全新风模式，来减少病毒传播，但是船舶空调的回风很难能否做到100%关闭，船舶楼梯，走道，餐厅，门把手等又很难做到很好的消毒处理。

建议大家戴好口罩，做好防护，做好船舶清洁和消毒工作，建议公司人员尽量在家线上办公，减少人员聚集。建议船舶管理公司给船舶配备感温枪，值班人员在梯口对上下船人员随时测温，做好记录。

新冠肺炎，能否象非典一样，气温升高，自然消失，现在很难说，有专家表示，新冠肺炎病毒可能长期存在。很多人认为气温高，新冠肺炎难传播，其实不一样，新加坡气温一直都是35度以上，新加坡新冠肺炎确诊人数15人上升到84人，截至2月20日22点，中国确诊74680人，日本709人，韩国104人，新加坡84人，泰国35人，马来西亚22人，越南16人，阿联酋9人，很多国家的确诊人数还在增加，大家必须做好防护。

给大家简单普及一下隔离和等待爆发期的重要意义：

为什么要隔离并等待爆发期？有些人不太明白。这个问题其实很简单，我给大家详细说一说，相信很多人就明白了。

我们首先把人群分为

A（已感染人群）、

B（被A感染的未知人群）、

C（疑似被A和B感染的人群）、

D（未感染人群）这四类。

湖北地区封省就是首先将A与所有人群隔离，保证不再传染其他人群。

但是这里面有些A（已知有大约500万在武汉和湖北以外。）分散在全国各地。这些人依据信息是容易找出来的，并且现在已经找出来很多了。但是A在旅途中会遇到从未认识的B，A不知道B的存在，B也不知道A的存在。A到达目的地后接触了C，无论接触了多少个C，通过A，这些C都能够被找到，目前也已经隔离了。于是就成了A、B、C、D四个集团和当前的现状。A被隔离，C被隔离，D在家坚守，唯独B不知道有多少还在外面。

现在最大的隐患是B，B根本找不到，没有人知道谁是B，B自己也根本不知道自己是不是B。因此，现在每个人相互隔离的目的，就是用时间来筛出B，等待14天左右的爆发。爆发期一到，B就自然被筛查出来。这样爆发的B就变成了A，被带走隔离。没有爆发的就变成了D，可以继续在家坚守阵地。而原来被隔离的C，也会出现分化，一部份变成了A，被集中隔离，一部分变成了D。

于是爆发期过后，社会上只有A和D这两种人群了。A被集中收治，变成D后回到正常社会。没有变成的继续收治，部分不幸死亡被火化安葬。所以，绝不出门，等待爆发就是为了自然的筛查。等B纷纷发病，事情自然就水落石出了。也只有等所有的B都发完病，疫情才能结束。因此，现在国家采取的所有措施都是为了减少新B的产生。
