Recently, Aomi Kerong has been fierce, and both Tianjin and Henan have faced the battle head-on, of which Henan currently has two chains of transmission, facing Delta and Omiljung at the same time.
How good is Omicron? How should ordinary people do a good job of protection on a daily basis? The reporter interviewed Professor Sheng Jifang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, doctoral supervisor and chief physician of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine.
"At present, compared with the Delta virus strain, Omilon is more contagious and more widely contagious. Relatively, its incubation period is also relatively short, and the intergenerational transmission time is only two or three days. ”
Previously, Zhejiang also had cases of imported Aomi Kerong from abroad, Sheng Jifang said that from these cases, the patient's symptoms are relatively mild, mainly manifested as upper respiratory tract problems, including cough, pharyngeal pain, fever is not obvious, will be accompanied by olfactory failure and so on. "Most of these patients have returned from abroad, are younger, and have also been vaccinated, so they are all mild. This also shows from another perspective that vaccination is very effective in preventing COVID-19, whether it is the Delta variant or the Ami kerong strain, in preventing severe diseases. ”
This time, the epidemic in Tianjin has affected the youth group, and there are rumors that the youth group is more susceptible to Aomi Kerong. Previously, there were also foreign media reports: Omicron has a serious threat to children under 5 years old, and the most common way to manifest itself is "wheezing".
In this regard, Sheng Jifang said that this actually involves personal protection issues, not that children are susceptible to Aomi Kerong, it should be said that people of all ages are susceptible. If the protection is not right, any group of people may be caught.

Earlier, Zhang Wenhong, director of the National Center for Infectious Diseases And director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said in an interview with the media that some self-media said that the "big flu" caused by Omicron was a lack of scientific basis, and he believed after studying the medical images of Omilon infected people that this mutant strain "will bite people". A country and region need a strong immune barrier and medical resources to defend itself against the threat of Omicron. At the same time, Omikeron has become the main strain of poison spread in many parts of the world.
Sheng Jifang also said that at present, the strategy and method of preventing the Delta virus strain are still effective in preventing Theomilon. Ordinary people who meet the vaccination conditions should try to get as many as possible, including a third booster injection. In daily life, personal protection should be done: wear masks, wash hands frequently, reduce gatherings, etc. Overseas returnees and those engaged in the international supply chain should strictly implement epidemic prevention regulations, and if imported cases are found, they should cut off the transmission chain as soon as possible and do a good job of closed-loop work.
In the treatment of Aomi Kerong, earlier, China's first new crown antibody drug led by Professor Zhang Qi of Tsinghua University was approved for marketing. It has been reported that the drug is infused intravenously, 40 minutes before and after the entire infusion process, which can reduce hospitalization rates and mortality by 80%.
Sheng Jifang said that this drug is mainly suitable for patients with severe disease or patients who have progressed to severe disease. At present, the traditional treatment method of using new crown pneumonia for mild patients is still effective. "At the moment, new drugs need to address accessibility issues."
