The number of imported cases of Omicron subtypes BA.4 and BA.5 increased by 61, with a total of 126 cases. The Central Epidemic Epidemic Command Center stated that there is no need to extend or re-quarantine the imported cases of the new mutant strains, but the family members living with them will be arranged to be collected again. No local cases have been found so far. Experts believe that sooner or later, the new mutants will change from overseas to local, and it will be hard to stop them. It does not matter whether the border policy is tightened or loosened. The only point is that “the mask policy must not be loosened.”
Luo Yijun, deputy head of the medical response team of the command center, said that the gene sequencing of 120 cases of overseas immigration was completed in China in the past week, and BA.4 and BA.5 variants accounted for 61 cases, more than half; the entry date of the cases was between June 10 and On the 18th, the United States had the most 16 cases, followed by 7 cases in France, 6 cases in Germany, and 6 cases in Singapore. At present, there are 126 cases of overseas immigration, of which 107 are BA.5 and 19 are BA.4.
Recently, some people were diagnosed with the disease after returning to Taiwan. They learned that it was BA.5 after they were released from quarantine. The family members were asked to test PCR again. Luo Yijun explained that arranging the inspection of contacts is part of the expansion of monitoring. Due to the time required for gene sequencing, the public may not be notified until after the quarantine is lifted. Please do more inspections for the family members who live with you. At present, no infection has been found to the local area. As for the individual case, there is no need to renew or extend the quarantine.
Huang Gaobin, deputy director of the China Affiliated Medical Infection Control Center, believes that because BA.4 and BA.5 are highly infectious, it will be a matter of time before they enter the mainland, and border policies alone will be difficult to stop them. The current focus of epidemic prevention is “masks must not be loosened.” , the current policy should be maintained and masks must still be worn when going out.
The new crown pneumonia epidemic has slowed down, but recently there have been flu epidemics in Fujian, Guangdong and other places in the mainland. Su Yiren, the former director of the Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, also reminded that there will be a double test of “new crown and influenza together” this year. Zhuang Renxiang, a spokesman for the command center, pointed out that since February last year, there have been no severe cases of influenza in China, and there has been no influenza epidemic in the community, but it may still be affected by immigration from abroad; there are still 3+4 quarantine regulations for entry, and the mask policy has not yet been loosened , all help to prevent the occurrence of influenza epidemics.
