Chinese mainland the First Ofilon variant was detected
According to Tianjin Daily, the Tianjin Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted whole genome sequencing and sequence analysis of the new coronavirus on respiratory specimens of asymptomatic infected people imported from outside Tianjin on December 9, and after review by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, it was confirmed that the New Coronavirus Omiljung variant (B.1.1.529 evolutionary branch) was detected. It is reported that this is the first time that the new coronavirus Olmi kerong variant has been found in the Chinese mainland.
Will Omi kerong break through the defensive line and spread locally?
Chinese mainland detected the Omikejung mutant strain for the first time, whether it will spread locally has become the most concerned issue for everyone.
Wu Hao, a community prevention and control expert of the Comprehensive Group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and dean of the College of General Medicine and Continuing Education of Capital Medical University, said in an interview that it is not a surprise to find the Aomi Kerong mutation in the mainland, but at present, China's local is very safe, and this time the Omi kerong mutation was found at the entry isolation point, indicating that the current epidemic control and monitoring network is very sensitive.
Wu Hao said that the mutation of the new crown virus is a normal state, and China's current strategy of "dynamic clearance" is to be prepared for a long-term battle with the new crown virus, with more emphasis on accurate prevention and control, and to integrate the prevention and control of the epidemic and normal economic production and life. According to the current epidemic prevention and control policy, even if the Aumi kerong mutation is transmitted locally, we can extinguish it as soon as possible and reduce the impact of the epidemic on production and life.
Is the vaccine still effective against Opmi kerong?
The Omiljung variant is still a new coronavirus, and although its amino acids add up to mutations, vaccines are effective and can reduce the rate of severe illness and death. In order to cope with the impact of the new crown virus Semikron mutation strain, domestic scientific research institutions and related enterprises are urgently working.
On December 11, Kexing Bio released the news that on December 5, it obtained a nasopharyngeal swab sample of the infected person with the Aomi Kerong variant strain, and cooperated with the team of Professor Qin Chuan of the Institute of Medical Laboratory Animals of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences to carry out virus isolation and whole gene sequencing, and has successfully isolated the Aomi Kerong mutant strain and obtained the sequencing results.
On December 13, the official website of Zhifei Bio said that for the Aomi Kerong variant, the recombinant new crown vaccine can still provide good protection.
An epidemiological expert said that in addition to the dynamic zeroing policy, China has two hands to prepare for vaccine prevention and control measures, one is to change the strain, and the other is to strengthen the needle. Replace the strain or strengthen the third needle on the original basis, which effect is better, which method will be chosen? Such a study is currently under way.
Domestic new crown drugs are effective for Omexjong!
On December 8, the official website of the State Drug Administration released the news that the registration application of the new coronavirus neutralizing antibody combination therapy drug amphavir monoclonal antibody injection (BRII-196) and romizumab injection (BRII-198) was approved in an emergency. Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said: "BRII-196 and 198 antibodies are very effective for treating patients with a relatively large viral load, and it should be said that this is the most effective so far.
On December 12, Tengsheng Bo Pharmaceutical issued an announcement: the data show that the approved drugs have maintained the effectiveness of "Omi Kerong" and other widely concerned new coronavirus variants, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Delta+, etc.
What should we do in the face of the menacing Amy Kerong?
1. Wear a mask
For the prevention of the Omikejung variant, wearing a mask is still an effective way to block the spread of the virus. Even if the full vaccination and vaccination of the booster injection have been completed, masks are still required in indoor public places, public transportation, etc.
2. Do a good job of personal health monitoring
If there is a history of travel in medium- and high-risk areas, or a history of contact with confirmed people, it is necessary to take the initiative to report, actively isolate, and do a good job of personal health monitoring. When there are suspected symptoms of new crown pneumonia, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath and other symptoms, timely monitor body temperature and take the initiative to seek medical treatment.
3. Reduce non-essential entry and exit
The Opichron variant has been detected in mainland China, indicating that the risk of importation has always existed, and the Current Opichron variant has spread to 63 countries and regions. Therefore, it is recommended that you minimize travel to high-risk areas and strengthen personal protection during travel to reduce the chance of contracting the Aumechjong variant.
