As the winter temperature gradually turns colder, the epidemic prevention and control work is also facing great challenges, and the epidemic has spread in many places in China in recent days, causing a high degree of vigilance. According to the National Health Commission, on December 2, 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported 96 new confirmed cases, including 16 imported cases and 80 local cases, distributed in Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Yunnan and other places. As of 24:00 on the 2nd, there were 972 confirmed cases, and more than 30,000 close contacts were still under medical observation.
The sporadic rebound of the epidemic in China is mainly affected by the epidemic outside China. Recently, the new crown mutation virus Omikejong has struck strongly, the global epidemic situation has become tense again, many countries have quickly opened "first-level alert", and the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries have immediately issued travel bans, resulting in a sharp increase in the pressure of China's "foreign defense import". The genetic sequencing results showed that there were 32 mutations in the Omiljung spike protein, while Delta had only 9 mutations. How fast does the strain spread? Oliveira, director of the South African Center for Epidemic Response and Innovation, said that in two weeks, Omicron has become the main epidemic strain in South Africa.
Test results from the Omiljung infection case in Belgium and Hong Kong, China, showed that the number of cycles required for viral genetic material was small, indicating that the viral load in the case was high and highly contagious. 2021 is coming to an end, in the face of the heart-wrenching epidemic situation, many people are worried about whether they can go home for the Spring Festival this year. Not long before, Li Lanjuan, a 74-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that the coronavirus has more than 29,900 bases, and there are currently more than 30 mutations, which is not too big, so don't panic. She said that through two years of fighting the epidemic, China has successfully established a set of effective experience in foreign defense imports, and China is neither careless nor panicked.
Academician Li Lanjuan stressed that it is necessary to continue to adhere to the normalized prevention and control strategy of "external prevention of import and internal prevention of rebound" in China, and at the same time strengthen the monitoring of mutated strains. People do not need to be particularly worried, they must actively cooperate with the epidemic prevention work, insist on not leaving the country unless necessary, reduce unnecessary travel, and actively vaccinate against the new crown. Li Lanjuan's judgment is indeed correct, and xu Wenbo, director of the Institute of Viral Disease Prevention and Control of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, recently introduced that the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Hong Kong, China, etc. have monitored the import of the Olmi Kerong variant, but other provinces and cities in China have not yet found the variant.
