98 Xi’an Health Commissions in high-risk areas in Mainland China apologize to the people of the city
As the number of cases in Henan continued to increase at a high level, 116 new cases were diagnosed locally in Mainland China on the 6th. After falling to double digits (41 cases) on the 4th, the number exceeded 100 again for two consecutive days (132 new cases were confirmed locally on the 5th) .
As of 19:00 on the 7th, there are 98 high-risk areas in Mainland China, including 16 high-risk areas, namely Henan (12, all in Xuchang and Yuzhou), Shaanxi (3, all in Xi’an), and Guangxi ( 1 in Dongxing City, Fangchenggang). There are 82 medium-risk regions, distributed in Zhejiang, Henan and Shaanxi provinces.
At a press conference held on the 7th, the Xi’an Municipal Health Commission apologized to the people of the city. Zhang Bo, deputy director of the Xi’an Municipal Health Commission, said that the current round of the epidemic is fierce. Xi’an is a city with a population of tens of millions, and various outstanding problems have occurred. Due to failure to consider comprehensively, fail to provide adequate and good medical security services, and fail to deal with the contradiction between epidemic prevention and control and the people’s demand for medical treatment, “we are deeply guilty and apologize to the people of the city.”
Xi’an has reported a total of 1,913 locally diagnosed cases in this round of epidemics, currently basically blocking community-level transmission
There were 57 newly diagnosed local cases in Xi’an on the 6th, and a total of 1913 local confirmed cases have been reported in this round of the epidemic.
Chen Baozhong, director of the Xi’an Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced on the 7th that the current round of the epidemic in Xi’an originated from the Delta strain imported on the Pakistan flight on December 4, 2021. The virus load is high and the risk of transmission is high. The epidemic is different. According to the current genetic sequencing results of some confirmed cases in Xi’an City, it is shown as a source, but due to the hidden characteristics of the spread of the virus strain, some infection routes have not yet found clear evidence of transmission.
During the rapid rise of the epidemic, Xi’an has pressed the city’s “pause button” on the basis of more than 300 closed and controlled areas in response to a certain scale of community transmission and spillover cases of the epidemic; During the peak period, the prevention and control measures will be further tightened, and large-scale nucleic acid screening will be carried out at the same time; when the epidemic situation declines, the scope of nucleic acid screening will be gradually reduced, precise prevention and control will be implemented, and community transmission will be blocked.
Chen Baozhong said that at present, Xi’an City has basically blocked the spread at the community level and the goal of clearing the society has basically been achieved. It is believed that Xi’an City will soon be able to resume normal production and life.

The Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission introduced at the press conference that day that according to preliminary epidemiological investigations and nucleic acid testing, the source of the epidemic is not yet clear, and it is still necessary to wait for the results of viral genetic testing, combined with epidemiological traceability investigations, etc. Further study and judge.
According to reports, as of now, Shenzhen has not found any other positive cases among the tracked close contacts, sub-close contacts, key populations, and general contacts. At present, the epidemic is considered to be controllable in general, but as follow-up investigations deepen Development, does not rule out the possibility of other positive cases.
On the 6th, Shanghai added 3 cases of asymptomatic infections. One case was a close contact of an imported asymptomatic infection reported on January 3; the other two were close contacts of an imported asymptomatic infection reported on January 4 with three exceptions.
At present, 34 close contacts of the above-mentioned asymptomatic infections in Shanghai have been traced, and centralized quarantine and observation have been implemented. Terminal disinfection has been carried out on places where asymptomatic infected persons have been active. (Finish)
