"So far, there has been no evidence to show whether the cases are related to other local infections in the country. The city's disease control professionals are racing against time to proceed with in-depth *epidemiological *investigations and origin tracing," said Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Health Commission. 上海市卫健委主任邬惊雷表示，到目前为止，还没有证据表明上述病例是否与国内其他地区的感染病例存在关联。上海市疾控专业人士正在争分夺秒深入开展流行病学调查和溯源。 The three infected women are all friends. The first two traveled to Suzhou from Friday to Sunday, and the third joined them on the last day of the trip. 三名确诊患者均为女性，为朋友关系。其中两人从周五至周日前往苏州，第三人在行程的最后一天与二人会面。 All three have been transferred to a hospital designated for COVID-19 treatment and on Thursday were in stable and good condition, Wu said. 邬惊雷表示，目前三位患者都已转移到新冠肺炎定点医院接受治疗。周四，三位患者病情稳定，状态良好。 The first patient is a 34-year-old resident of Xiamen, Fujian province.
