So far, patients infected with this mutated new coronavirus have not found other obvious symptoms, and they have not lost their sense of taste and smell. 1. WHO urgently notified a group of new coronavirus mutant strains
On November 26, the World Health Organization issued an emergency notification, and South Africa reported the genetic sequence of a new mutant strain of the new coronavirus. Afterwards, the WHO quickly classified this mutant strain as a "mutant strain of high concern" and named it Omi-cron, whose Chinese translation is "Omi-cron".
This new coronavirus mutant strain "Omi-cron" "Cron" has spread in many countries and regions around the world. At present, the Department of Health of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of my country has found two positive cases of new coronavirus infected with the "Omicron" variant. One of them entered Hong Kong from South Africa a few days ago, and the other One case may be a cross-infection during hotel quarantine. According to the results of an on-site inspection by experts, the two people lived in two rooms facing each other on the same floor, and the other infected person was probably infected through airborne transmission. The specific situation is still under investigation, and the relevant evidence has not yet been determined. 2. Academician Zhong Nanshan responded to the mutant virus
According to experts, "Omicron" is the worst mutation currently. It is the most highly contagious and vaccine-resistant mutant strain to date, and may reduce the effectiveness of current vaccines by at least 40%. Academician Zhong Nanshan said that there is currently not much confidence in the new mutant virus. Learn more, but this virus carries a large number of mutations, which also adds more challenges to epidemic prevention work.
The "Pay attention to the indoor environment and build a community with a shared future for mankind" held on November 27. At the forum, Academician Zhong Nanshan said in his speech that vaccination is definitely very effective. At present, the number of people vaccinated against COVID-19 in our country has exceeded 76.8% of the national population. The goal of exceeding 80% by the end of this year and achieving herd immunity is just around the corner.
It is now time to receive the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Many people have already started to receive the third dose of the vaccine. If you have reached the time to receive the third dose of the vaccine, please do so as soon as possible. We are responsible for ourselves and others. Let us work hard to achieve herd immunity and build a safer environment.
The symptoms caused by this mutant strain are relatively mild, but the virus is highly contagious. Therefore, everyone must do a good job in epidemic prevention in public places.
