Cases in three places in Zhejiang were infected with the virus
Both belong to the Delta mutant strain
On the afternoon of December 12, Jiang Jianmin, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that at present, there have been local cases in Shaoxing, Ningbo and Hangzhou, and we have sequenced the whole genome of the virus, and the virus in the three places belongs to the VOC Delta variant.
In fact, it is very easy for the virus to mutate, not every time to develop in an uncontrollable direction, appealing to the general public and friends not to panic as soon as they hear that the virus has mutated, we must believe in science.
Comprehensive analysis of Delta's mutant strains compared with the original popular strains has five characteristics:
1. The transmission force is stronger, the transmission speed of Delta disease strain is fast, the onset time is shortened, the intergenerational transmission interval is short, and the average incubation period is shortened by 1 to 2 days;
2. High viral load. The lower the CT value, the higher the viral load of the patient, and the longer it takes for nucleic acid detection to turn negative;
3. More pathogenic. Delta in India and the UNITED Kingdom, the risk of hospitalization is higher, and patients may turn into severe critical illness early;
4. The clinical manifestations are similar. There is no significant difference from the original epidemic strain, and the clinical manifestations are fever, dry cough, fatigue and so on;
5. There may be immune escape, but existing vaccines still have a protective effect. Vaccination not only prevents infection, but also significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and death.
The outbreak is locked into the Delta mutation, and the spread has increased, but we have accumulated experience in prevention and control, and we believe that we will be able to defeat the virus.
A total of 107 cases of the epidemic in Shaoxing have been confirmed
Multiple positive cases were found in one supermarket
On the evening of December 12, Shaoxing City held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control to report on the latest epidemic situation.

Relevant epidemic-related sites have been strictly carried out in accordance with regulations, such as classification control and environmental eradication. The 108 cases were all found in close investigation and nucleic acid testing of all staff.

According to the meeting, from December 7, the Shaoxing City Nucleic Acid Testing Base was launched, and more than 100 nucleic acid testing personnel were dispatched from the city to undertake nucleic acid testing. Since December 11, the Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission has urgently allocated and assembled 3 air membrane cabin laboratories, which are expected to be officially put into use on the 13th.
On the evening of the 12th, the "Shaoxing Release" WeChat public account said that the epidemic situation involved in the New Chase Supermarket in Shangyu District (No. 279 Shunjie Road, Shangyu Development Zone) was serious, and a number of positive tests have been initially found, so citizens who entered and exited the New Chase Supermarket from December 2 to 9 should report to the community (village) where they live as soon as possible and implement health monitoring and nucleic acid testing measures.
