China News Service, Shenzhen, July 10 (Zhu Zuying) The official WeChat account of the “Shenzhen Release” released a message on the 10th that 16 patients in the “5.21” epidemic in Shenzhen have been cured and discharged and have been “cleared”.
Among the 4 patients in the "6.14" epidemic, 1 has been discharged, and the other 3 cases are in stable improvement. They have been "cleared" for severe illness and will be discharged one after another in the near future.
It is reported that the "5.21" and "6.14" epidemics respectively involved two variant strains of the new coronavirus, Alpha and Delta. A total of 20 cases of new coronavirus infections were reported, including 8 confirmed cases. None There were 12 cases of symptomatic infection.
In accordance with the “four concentration” principle of centralized patients, centralized experts, centralized resources, and centralized treatment in Shenzhen, all infected persons are admitted to the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and Shenzhen Third People's Hospital as soon as possible.
According to Liu Lei, director of Shenzhen Third People's Hospital, from a clinical point of view, Alpha and Delta are more violent. In the past, patients may become severely ill in a week or so. Alpha shortened the course of the disease to four or five days, and Delta only took three days. The new coronavirus last year was more "friendly" to children, and was generally asymptomatic, but this time children infected with the two variant strains will also have fever and pneumonia; the elderly are relatively sick, especially those with underlying diseases; Take Delta as an example. Even though the infected are all the mutant strains of Delta, the way of infection is different and the genotype is different.
This is a challenge to the prevention and control of hospital sense.
Liu Lei said that there were not many severe cases this time, thanks to the large-scale active screening of nucleic acid testing and joint prevention and control, early detection of infected persons, early intervention and treatment, timely cutting off the source of infection, and controlling the development of the disease.
