As for the breakthrough infection status of people over the age of 12 who have received 2 doses, according to statistics, there are still 145,621 confirmed cases, and the breakthrough infection rate is 3.63%. The vast majority were infected with Omicron, accounting for 98.6%, and 1.4% were the Delta variant first discovered in India.

The number of confirmed cases has exceeded 10% of Taiwan’s total population, and people who have recovered from the infection have come forward to share suspected “long COVID symptoms” such as shortness of breath and easy fatigue. Luo Yijun, deputy head of the medical response team of the command center, held a press conference on the epidemic this afternoon. Zhong said that the main care departments of the Chang New Crown Outpatient Clinic are the thoracic department and the rehabilitation department. Many infected cases will be complicated by pneumonia, dyspnea and embarrassment.

Luo Yijun said that the sequelae of Omicron pulmonary fibrosis are relatively few. It remains to be seen whether more patients will come back for follow-up in the future. If the recovered patients have symptoms such as shortness of breath, they can go to the outpatient clinic of the recovered patients for follow-up. Drugs that reduce the effects of pulmonary fibrosis.

The domestic epidemic continues, and some media have asked that after a long-term care institution gathers, it is necessary to wait until 7 days after the last infected person is diagnosed before accepting the case, resulting in half of the institutions being unable to accept the case, whether it can open a letter of closure , Chen Shizhong, commander of the command center, said that if the vaccination coverage rate of the institution is high and the protection is relatively strong, the restriction time can be relatively short.

In response to the suggestion by public health experts that the number of newly diagnosed cases in a single day is less than 30,000, and that COVID-19 can be compared with influenza tracking, Chen Shizhong said that in terms of the scale of the epidemic, 30,000 cases in a single day can indeed be considered controllable, because South Korea, Japan According to the analysis of the epidemic situation in New Zealand and Singapore, the epidemic situation in neighboring countries has not dropped below 1,000 cases, so I can’t say whether the epidemic situation in Taiwan may drop below 1,000 confirmed cases in a single day.

The Taipei mayoral election will take place at the end of the year. Chen Shizhong is regarded as a possible candidate for the DPP. Today, the press conference on the epidemic was once again asked about his willingness to run for the election. Chen Shizhong said that the focus is now on epidemic prevention, and now is the time when the epidemic has changed the most. I hope everything will be handled smoothly. Only then will other possibilities be considered. The current epidemic is the key battle. “We all hope that the epidemic of more than two years will come to an end.”
