New Crown Epidemic|Xiao Jieheng: Omicron “BA.1” and “BA.2” viruses cause mild symptoms (19:34) – 20220118 – Hong Kong News – Instant News

In addition, Xiao Jieheng said in an interview with the Hong Kong TV program “Millennium” that the spike proteins of “BA.1” and “BA.2” have 10 different mutations, but he believes that the current testing in Hong Kong will not leak relevant cases. He pointed out that “BA.2” has recently entered Asian countries and has been circulating in the Philippines and Nepal, and the imported cases from the Philippines in Hong Kong last week all contained the BA.2 variant virus.

Regarding the 9 cases of first-generation transmission of Pakistani women infected with Omicron BA.2, Xiao Jieheng is worried that the chain of transmission caused by the cases is more than before, and it is difficult to contain them. He also said that yesterday (17th), there were two preliminary confirmed cases of unknown origin. “Preliminary inspection has the opportunity to carry the BA.2 variant virus.” As for the school where the Pakistani woman’s son is studying, some classmates were infected with the virus because they were in the same classroom during the exam. Xiao Jieheng said that if he wore a mask properly, he would not be “stricken”. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate whether the students remove their masks and drink water during the exam. .
