Original Title: A total of 23 confirmed cases were reported in this round of the epidemic in Chengdu, 1 transmission and 13 special cases
According to CCTV News, the reporter learned from a press conference held in Chengdu this morning (9th) that as of 24:00 on November 8th, a total of 23 confirmed cases have been reported in this epidemic in Chengdu. At the same time, due to the stronger transmission power of the delta mutant, a special case of 1 transmission 13 has also appeared in this epidemic.
According to Tang Xuefeng, deputy director of the Sichuan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, on November 2, Chengdu reported the first case of the current round of the epidemic.The case has a history of living in many places in the northwest and has a clear trajectory overlap with the confirmed case in the local area.After epidemiological investigations and laboratory genetic sequencing, it was still caused by a variant strain of Delta’s new coronavirus, which was from the same source as the northwestern epidemic virus strain.The first cases and early recurring cases were mostly young people with a wide range of activities and many contacts. In addition to participating in official activities, they also involved bars, restaurants, gyms and other places, which easily caused the spread of the epidemic.
So far, 23 cases have been reported in Chengdu, showing the characteristics of being highly contagious, clustering in the same family, in the same unit, and in the same dining and entertainment venues. At the same time, due to the stronger transmission power of the delta mutant, a special case of 1 transmission 13 has also appeared in this epidemic. Such cases pose a great challenge to Chengdu’s epidemic prevention and control work. In the face of a complex and severe epidemic situation, various professional teams are carrying out flow traceability, site closure and nucleic acid testing day and night to fight the virus and compete for time with the epidemic. With the unremitting efforts of staff on all fronts, although the number of new cases in these two days is relatively large, all cases have a clear source and are on the same transmission chain, indicating that the epidemic is generally controllable. But at the same time, we must be rationally aware of the arduousness and complexity of this anti-epidemic work. Due to the large range of activities and wide contact of early cases, and the low Ct value of most cases (meaning high viral load), the risk of transmission is relatively high.It is not ruled out that there are still new cases in the future.
Remind Chengdu citizens that they still cannot relax their vigilance against the epidemic and strictly perform personal protection. Check the official trajectory information, and report to the community, unit or hotel where you live if there is any trajectory overlap. Pay attention to the changes of your own health code,If a yellow code appears, you need to accept two nucleic acid tests within three days, with an interval of more than 24 hours, as required. After returning to the green code, you also need to continue to do self-health monitoring for 14 days.
