In this round of epidemic, the genetic sequencing results of positive infected persons in Changzhou belong to the Omicron variant (BA.2 evolutionary branch), the virus spreads hidden, highly contagious, and spreads extremely fast, It is very easy to form community transmission, and standardized wearing of masks is still the most effective way to do personal protection.
Recently, outside the gate of Sanhekou Middle School in Changzhou, because a parent who picked up the child from school did not wear a mask, the virus spread rapidly within a certain range, and more than 30 people were infected. Changzhou once again reminds the general public that they must adhere to the standard wearing of masks in daily life, consciously do a good job in personal protection, actively cooperate with epidemic prevention and control measures, minimize the gathering of people, and make the city of Changzhou temporarily “quiet” , to control the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible.
