[1 Transmission and 13 Special Cases in Chengdu]Chengdu City held a press conference to report: As of 24:00 on November 8, Chengdu has reported a total of 23 confirmed cases in this epidemic. 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 investigation and laboratory genetic sequencing, it is still caused by a variant strain of Delta new coronavirus, which is the same source as the Northwestern epidemic virus strain. The first case and the early recurring cases are mostly young people, with a wide range of activities and many contacts. In addition to participating in official activities, they also involve bars, restaurants, gyms and other places, which are likely to cause 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 great challenges to our epidemic prevention and control work. In the face of a complex and severe epidemic situation, various professional teams are carrying out flow traceability, site sealing and nucleic acid testing around the clock, fighting the virus and fighting 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 also rationally recognize the arduousness and complexity of this anti-epidemic work. Because the early cases have a large range of activities and a wide range of contacts, and most of the cases have a low Ct value (meaning a high viral load), the risk of transmission is relatively high, and it is not ruled out that there are still new cases in the future.
Remind the people of the city 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 change 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. After returning to the green code, you also need to continue to do self-health monitoring for 14 days. (Headquarters reporter Jia Yichao and Zheng Yi)
