Chinese mainland the physical condition of the first case of Aomi Kerong infection? Where does it come from? Expert interpretation

On December 13, the Tianjin Municipal Epidemic Prevention and Control Command announced that the Tianjin Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention carried out whole genome sequencing and sequence analysis of the new coronavirus imported from outside Tianjin on December 9, as well as the review of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, all of which confirmed the detection of the New Coronavirus Semicron variant (B.1.1.529 evolutionary branch). So, which asymptomatic infected person did the mutant strain originate from? What is the situation of other people on the return flight? Is there a possibility that the asymptomatic infected person will infect other people? With the increasing pressure of "overseas import", what measures are the relevant departments in Tianjin still taking? On these issues of concern to everyone, the reporter of the general station also had an exclusive interview with Gu Qing, director of the office of the Tianjin Municipal Covid-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters and director of the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission, today.

In which cases of the Omikejung variant was found in infected people? What is the current physical condition of the case?

Gu Qing, director of the office of the Tianjin Municipal Covid-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters and director of the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission: The Aomi Kerong variant found in Tianjin this time is also the first time that Chinese mainland detected. It is an entry personnel from Europe, who had a normal body temperature when entering Tianjin and declared no abnormalities. After the customs quarantine inspection and sampling, the whole process of closed-loop management is transferred to the centralized isolation medical observation point in Xiqing District. On December 9, the nucleic acid test result of the new crown virus was positive, that is, he was transferred to Haihe Hospital by 120 ambulance. The case is an asymptomatic infected person who currently has no symptoms such as cough and fever, and is now being isolated in a designated hospital for new crown pneumonia in Tianjin.

In order to prevent the spread of the Aomi Kerong variant virus in the hospital, Tianjin has also specially designated a special ward for people infected with the Aomi Kerong variant virus, and a special medical team will treat them.

Is there any infection in the passengers on the same flight as the case? Will it spread more widely?

Gu Qing, director of the office of the Tianjin Municipal Covid-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Command and director of the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission: As an overseas entry person, there may be positive infections on the flight, so we will pay more attention to the flights taken by the infected people in Omicron. During the 14-day quarantine at the isolation point, the staff will pay more strict attention to the health status of each passenger and pay more attention to the nucleic acid test results of each passenger. At the same time, the monitoring and supervision of isolation points and the elimination of killings will be strengthened, and the environment and personnel contacted by cases in the process of health surveillance will be supervised in real time. So far, in our nucleic acid testing of the flight's arrivals, no other infected persons have been found.

Closed-loop management is to prevent the spread of the epidemic. The closed-loop management measures for inbound personnel are to check health identification cards, check body temperature, and investigate vaccination history and epidemiological history from the landing of the aircraft. After the investigation, all those with suspicious symptoms such as respiratory tract or fever will be transported to the designated hospital through the 120 closed-loop transfer vehicle in time. For passengers who have no symptoms and the health identification card is normal, we will use a special transportation bus to directly transfer the closed loop to the isolation point for single-person isolation. At the same time, the environment through which the inbound personnel pass will be strictly eliminated.

As an important port city, what measures is Tianjin taking to "prevent foreign imports"?

Gu Qing, director of the office of the Tianjin Municipal COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters and director of the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission: Tianjin mainly strengthens supervision at 4 key passes. The first is the airport and seaport, that is, the entry of port personnel and the entry of goods. Second, the isolation point, because it is isolated by the entry personnel, is a high risk, so the isolation point is strictly supervised and controlled. Third, the hospital to prevent hospital feeling, because once the infection in the hospital, it will affect the patients and the majority of medical staff, but also will have a serious impact on the diagnosis and treatment of the society. Fourth, investigation, that is, once there are inbound personnel and other local epidemic areas in Tianjin, we will conduct a comprehensive investigation and co-investigation of these personnel, with the purpose of early detection.

Finally, there is also an important one, through the vaccination of a wide range of people to form an effective immune barrier, which is also a major measure of our group prevention and control. As of December 13, Tianjin had received a total of 28.398 million doses of covid-19 vaccine, with 94.9% of the first doses of vaccination and 93.9% of the whole vaccination rate of people over 12 years old.

The joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council has made important arrangements for the prevention and control of the epidemic in port cities. Tianjin has also formulated 19 measures and 58 requirements in accordance with the national work deployment instructions and for its own specific actual situation. For staff in key positions and high-risk industries, we have increased the frequency of nucleic acid testing.

In the face of the Aomi Kerong mutation, what precautions should the masses take?

Gu Qing, director of the office of the Tianjin Municipal COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters and director of the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission: Although this virus strain will continue to appear mutated, the prevention methods and measures for this disease are basically the same. As the masses of our broad society, we should cooperate with the government and various local management departments to implement prevention and control measures, which is the most crucial. Once there is fever and respiratory symptoms, do not take transportation, to the fever clinic as soon as possible to go to the fever clinic; when conducting epidemiological investigations on you, you must realistically explain your travel history of the first 14 days to the epidemic prevention personnel truthfully, there can be no concealment, etc., these are the need for the masses to actively cooperate, but also take the initiative to do a good job in the new crown virus vaccination, so that the whole society is carrying out epidemic prevention and control, are actively participating, I think the entire epidemic prevention and control situation in our country will be better and better.
