The local confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia is the wife of the confirmed case on October 19. She currently lives in Hengfu Middle Street, Fengtai District.
The whole genome sequencing results showed that the strain was a delta mutant.
Confirmed case: the wife of the confirmed case on October 19, currently living in Hengfu Middle Street, Fengtai District.
On October 19, as a close contact, a centralized isolation medical observation was carried out.
On October 20th, he felt throat discomfort, no obvious symptoms such as cough, fever, etc., and the nucleic acid test result was positive.
On October 21, he was transferred to a designated hospital for isolation and treatment. Based on the results of epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and imaging examinations, he was diagnosed as a confirmed case on the same day, and the clinical classification was mild.
At present, epidemiological investigations, laboratory tests, and close contact tracking have been carried out, and measures such as containment, control, and control of relevant areas have been taken level by level.
Up to now, Beijing has identified 128 people in close contact with the epidemic, and relevant control measures have been taken.
The whole genome sequencing results of the laboratory of the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the strain is a Delta mutant strain, which has low homology with the virus genomes of previous local and imported cases in this city. After a preliminary comparison and analysis by experts from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, The results show that the virus has high homology with the cases reported in Gansu, Shaanxi and other places recently, and belongs to the same transmission chain.
Pang Xinghuo reminded that since two tourists were found to have tested positive for nucleic acid in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province recently, many provinces, cities and regions including Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Hunan, Guizhou, Ningxia, Hebei and Beijing have reported multiple related cases. The source of infection is not yet available. It is clear that the spread is fast and the situation is grim.
Once again remind citizens and friends to increase their awareness of protection and do a good job of personal protection.
