Beijing, November 3 (Xinhua) -- Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a press conference on the prevention and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Beijing on the 3rd that the Delta variant is highly contagious, and the transmission route of the epidemic in Beijing is mainly based on family contact transmission, followed by chess and card gathering, and the two ways account for about 70%. At present, multiple families living together are all infected.
Pang Xinghuo said that in the current round of epidemic in Beijing, most infected people consciously take various prevention and control measures when they learn that they may be infected, for example, some cases take the initiative to report after learning that they and the confirmed cases are on the same train; some cases learn that their husbands are sub-close contacts, take the initiative to report to the unit and consciously monitor home health. Consciously implementing individual prevention and control responsibilities is very important for epidemic prevention and control.
Pang Xinghuo said that the current epidemic prevention and control situation in Beijing is still severe and complex, and the epidemic prevention and control is at a critical moment, so it is necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance, strictly implement various prevention and control measures, and go all out to prevent the occurrence of new clustered epidemics and prevent community transmission. As of 16:00 on November 3, Beijing has reported a total of 39 local cases in this round of the epidemic, including 38 confirmed cases and 1 asymptomatic infected person.
