"Omi kerong" is a mutated strain, its spread should not be underestimated, it is faster than previous viruses. According to local statistics, the speed of this strain spreading among the population is also noteworthy, and the pressure for prevention and control is also very high. So far, many countries and regions have reported this strain.
Stay vigilant
At present, this virus has invaded many places in China, and infected people have been detected in Tianjin, Guangzhou and Changsha. In addition, the strain spread more widely in Europe, with the UK soaring 10,000 cases within 24 hours. In response to this strain, many countries have announced new restrictions, including Germany, the Netherlands and so on.
China has accumulated very rich experience in the normalization stage of the epidemic, and as far as the current situation is concerned, it is necessary to continue to adhere to China's normalized prevention and control strategy. Li Lanjuan said that there is no need to worry too much, just need to cooperate with the government's epidemic prevention work. Do not leave the country without special circumstances and actively vaccinate.
Vaccines still work
Academician Zhong Nanshan said that although the harm of this strain is still a while before a judgment can be made. But that doesn't mean that our vaccinations are useless, because it's still essentially a coronavirus. And "Omi Kerong" and the previous new crown virus transmission law is similar, so we use the previous protection method, still has an effect.
According to the clinical observations of medical experts, patients infected with such strains have relatively mild symptoms, and almost no severe patients appear. Most patients have flu-like symptoms. Today, the spread of the virus will place a heavy burden on people's lives and livelihood problems. Therefore, for people who are unwell and at high risk, if there are travel plans, they should be postponed.
We should also have full trust in China's vaccines, which have a 59% defense rate against Delta virus infection and a protection rate of close to 100% for severe diseases.
At present, Omikeron has determined that the contagiousness is very strong. However, as for its pathogenicity, and how great the harm is, it is not clear at present, and the scope of mortality is not clear, so the pressure on medical workers in China is still very large, and there is still a lot to be done for all aspects of epidemiological monitoring. At this moment, we must not take it lightly, and we must maintain a high degree of vigilance. Starting from personal protection, reduce unnecessary activities such as going out and eating together, and reduce the burden on the country. Only a united will can get through this.
And according to the south African study, the current virus is relatively mild, and the average hospitalization period is getting shorter and shorter, so you don't have to worry too much.
