Can this round of the epidemic be “managed”?
On April 2, the Suzhou Centers for Disease Control and Prevention introduced at a press conference on the epidemic that the city discovered the evolutionary branch of Omicron BA.1.1, and no new coronavirus genomes with the same height were found in multiple databases. source sequence.
For example, a mild confirmed case was found in Changshu City, Suzhou on March 28. The virus infected by it was sequenced and compared to the evolutionary branch of VOC/Omicron variant strain BA.1.1. No highly homologous sequences of the 2019-nCoV genome were found in the local and imported case databases and the global 2019-nCoV GISAlD database.
Suzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that in a highly responsible attitude to citizens, in order to eliminate risks as soon as possible and cut off the chain of transmission, Suzhou City promptly Epidemiological investigation and gene sequencing have been carried out for each case, but epidemiological investigation and gene sequencing are scientifically rigorous and complex tasks, and it takes a certain amount of time to analyze and compare. Prevention and control work, relevant information will be released to the public in a timely manner to respond to social concerns.
From 0 to 24:00 on April 2, Suzhou added 1 new local confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia and 15 new local asymptomatic infections.
From March 10 to April 2, Suzhou City reported a total of 4 local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, all of which were isolated and treated in designated hospitals; 165 local asymptomatic infections , all were quarantined for medical observation in designated medical institutions.

The “new branch” may “follow itself”< /p>
A virology expert from the national data platform said in an interview with Science and Technology Daily, “This round of local epidemic has been going on for more than a month. According to the mutation rate of the new coronavirus, 2 It is normal to have about a few mutations.” The expert said, but it does not mean that the new coronavirus will become a powerful mutant as soon as a new branch appears. Only the more “adapted” viruses are likely to survive, and even if they survive, they will It may or may not develop into a mainstream strain.
“If you go back to the delta strain, you will find that it has many branches AY.1, AY.2…AY.133, but only a few finally become mainstream. One.” The expert explained that a large number of branches “follow themselves” in the process of popularity.

Can this round of the epidemic be “managed”?
Recently, my country’s local clustered epidemics have shown the characteristics of many points, wide areas and frequent occurrences, and the epidemic prevention and control work still faces severe challenges. Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that many countries in the world have already “lyed down”. The most concerned issue of the Chinese people is that the multi-distribution and localization caused by the Omicron variant at the current stage Can the large-scale local epidemic be effectively controlled? my country’s epidemic prevention and control experience has proved that with effective government administrative measures and the active cooperation of the general public, the goal of precise prevention and control and dynamic clearing can be achieved. Even if there is a local outbreak of the epidemic, it can still be quickly controlled. live.
“Therefore, I believe that even in the face of the Omicron variant, as long as effective measures are taken, it can still be prevented and controlled. Everyone Be confident.”Zhang Boli said.
No.3
Is the new crown case still infectious?
Zhang Boli introduced that a small number of new crown cases have returned to positive, but they are no longer contagious, which has been recognized by most experts around the world. Up to now, the phenomenon of re-positive cases infecting others has not been found. He said that in the treatment of patients with new coronary pneumonia, the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine will further reduce the rate of recovery. Effect.
No.4
What other suggestions are there for epidemic prevention and control?
“The increase of asymptomatic infections should not be taken lightly.” Zhang Boli said, “Western medicine has no symptoms, while traditional Chinese medicine has syndromes”, and we should actively pay attention to asymptomatic infections, especially those who are older , People with high-risk factors such as underlying diseases, weak physique, obesity, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. One is asymptomatic, but it is still contagious; the other is asymptomatic today, and some patients may develop symptoms in two or three days. Therefore, it is advisable to adopt the treatment strategy of “preventive treatment and truncating the disease”, and treatment according to TCM syndromes can promote the conversion of nucleic acid to negative.
He said that mild cases cannot be ignored, and the key is early intervention. The new version of the plan points out that light patients will be managed in centralized isolation, which means that patients with mild symptoms can go to the shelter or hotel for isolation and observation instead of going to the hospital. Not going to the hospital can prevent mildly ill patients from running on medical resources, but it is not without treatment, especially for the above-mentioned high-risk groups, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine has a definite curative effect.
“Epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, ventilating frequently, and avoiding gatherings still need to be adhered to.” Zhang Boli emphasized that these effective epidemic prevention measures will last a long time. Time to hold on.
