On January 17, Zhuhai held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control. From 15:00 to 24:00 on January 16, Zhuhai added 3 new locally confirmed cases, as of 24:00 on the 16th, Zhuhai had a cumulative total of 12 confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia and 1 case of asymptomatic infection. The newly confirmed cases were detected among close contacts under centralized management, and the main scope of activity was in Nanping Town, Xiangzhou District.
Circulation traceability found that all cases are currently in the same chain of transmission. Gene sequencing is 100% homologous to imported cases from other provinces. The cases of early onset were engaged in customer service work of a certain enterprise, and they were often exposed to overseas imported goods. According to the current on-site epidemiological investigation and laboratory testing, experts have judged that the epidemic is not excluded from being caused by exposure to contaminated inbound items. Further traceability of the flow is still being stepped up.
Huang Yun, deputy director of the Zhuhai Municipal Health Bureau, said that at present, all confirmed cases in the city are admitted to designated hospitals with negative pressure wards, and in strict accordance with the "four concentrations" principle of "concentrated cases, concentrated experts, concentrated resources, and centralized treatment", we will do a good job in the medical treatment of confirmed cases. In the treatment, it was found that the clinical manifestations of the Aumequeron strain were very different from the Delta strain, and the symptoms after the Infection of Themi kerong were relatively mild, the transmission was strong, there were more young people, and there were fewer lung lesions.
Yang Jian, chief physician of the Respiratory Department of Zhuhai People's Hospital, said that the infectivity and replication rate of the Omilon virus are much higher than those of the Delta virus, and they are more insidious and unpredictable, so the difficulty of preventing "Omi kerong" is much higher than that of the Delta virus.
"Omi kerong" does not have specific clinical manifestations, it has a certain intersection with the symptoms of influenza, alpha strain, and Delta strain. Therefore, for ordinary people, it is relatively difficult to distinguish the symptoms of "Omi kerong". Therefore, for people with "top ten" symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, decreased sense of smell (taste), nasal congestion, runny nose, conjunctivitis, myalgia and diarrhea, it is strongly recommended to go to the fever clinic in time, and even if there is no clear clinical manifestation, people from medium and high-risk areas and prevention and control areas should also be checked in time.
