Original Title: Chengdu Epidemic Press Conference: 1 Transmission 13 Special Cases Appeared, Elevator Tested Positive
As of 24:00 on November 8, 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.
On November 9, Chengdu held a press conference to report on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
Chengdu has investigated 2,757 local close contacts, 9097 close contacts, and the current nucleic acid tests are all negative
According to Liu Xiaoliu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chengdu Municipal Committee, since the first case of the epidemic was reported in Chengdu on November 2, a total of 23 local confirmed cases have been reported so far. Due to the wide range of activities of the first case and other local confirmed cases, and the long stay in dense crowds and spaces, the spread of the virus is extremely easy. The prevention and control situation this time is extremely complicated.
After the outbreak, Chengdu set up a special team to carry out accurate flow of all cases. As of 24:00 on November 8, there were a total of 2,757 people in close contact with the local government and 9,097 people in close contact with each other. So far, nucleic acid tests have all been negative.
Chengdu has launched nucleic acid testing in key areas and has completed nucleic acid testing for 2.365 million people
According to Liu Xiaoliu, Chengdu started on November 5, some nucleic acid testing in key areas and random inspections of personnel in key industries. By November 6, a total of 2,306,500 nucleic acid tests have been completed.
From 18:00 on November 8th, nucleic acid testing was started in Chenghua District and surrounding key areas. Until 6:00 on November 9, the existing test results were all negative.
A Chengdu case linked to 10 infected people tested positive in elevator
It was introduced at the press conference to delineate the risk level and scope and resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic. According to the trajectory of the case, and the dynamic analysis and judgment of the provincial and municipal expert groups, 10 medium-risk areas such as Dingfeng Shui’an Huijing Community, 11 closed control areas such as Shouchuang Jiaozi No. 1 and 11 control areas such as Dongyuan East District of Science and Technology were designated. .
According to reports, the cases found in this round of the epidemic have a fast infection rate, and individual cases have a long infection chain. There are 10 cases related to case 6, and the infected persons are all family members, colleagues and neighbors of the same building unit of the case. From the perspective of the flow of research, there is no temporal and spatial intersection between some cases and case six, and their living environment such as elevators has detected a number of positive samples. This suggests that the source of infection is complex, and public spaces such as elevators and office spaces are at greater risk of transmission.
In order to cut the chain of infection as quickly as possible, Chengdu has “yellowed” people who may be at risk, implemented personal health monitoring reminders, reduced unnecessary flows, and passed nucleic acid screening to find potential cases and reduce the risk of transmission.
A total of 23 confirmed cases have been reported in this round of the epidemic in Chengdu, and 13 special cases have been reported
As of 24:00 on November 8, 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 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 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. 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 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 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.
