(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) A local case of Omikron infection appeared in Tianjin. The whole area of Yuzhou in Henan is a medium and high risk area
China News Agency, Beijing, January 9. Comprehensive news: The National Health Commission of China notified on the 9th that 165 new confirmed cases were reported in mainland China on the 8th, including 73 imported cases and 92 local cases (56 in Henan, 30 in Shaanxi, 3 cases in Tianjin, 2 cases in Zhejiang, and 1 case in Guangdong).
There were 46 new asymptomatic infections, all imported from abroad.
As of 24:00 on the 8th, there were 3,392 confirmed cases in mainland China, a total of 4,636 deaths, and a total of 103,619 confirmed cases.
There are 1,048 confirmed cases imported from abroad, with a total of 11,628 confirmed cases and no deaths.
The outbreak of local cases infected with Omicron in Tianjin may have caused community transmission
Three new local cases were confirmed in Tianjin on the 8th.
The city's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on the 9th that it has completed the whole genome sequencing of 2 new local cases of the new coronavirus.
After analysis and comparison and confirmed by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the 2 local cases of the new coronavirus belong to the Omicron variant (BA.1 evolutionary branch), which is the same transmission chain, but it is the same as the imported cases in Tianjin. The sequences of the Mikron variant cannot be identified as the same transmission chain.
Since the above two cases have no recent travel history outside Tianjin, the source of their infection has attracted much attention.
The Tianjin Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that the traceability of the epidemic is currently in full swing.
According to reports, from 18:00 on the 7th to 21:00 on the 8th, Tianjin detected 20 positive cases among close contacts.
Judging from the relationship between these cases and the chain of transmission, the virus has been circulating for at least three generations.
That is, these cases may have been circulating in the community for some time before they were detected.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that more positive infected persons will be found in the follow-up area outside the control area, control area and prevention area.
Zhengzhou-Yuzhou The source of the epidemic is unknown, and the whole area of Yuzhou is a medium-high-risk area
Henan Province added 56 local confirmed cases on the 8th, including 39 cases in Xuchang City, 11 cases in Zhengzhou City, 2 cases each in Luoyang City and Anyang City, and 1 case each in Shangqiu City and Hua County.
In this round of epidemics, the cases in Yuzhou and Zhengzhou in Xuchang ranked the top two in Henan Province.
The Henan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention said on the 9th that at present, the gene sequencing of some infected people found in various places has been completed. The results show that the Yuzhou-Zhengzhou epidemic virus gene sequence has high homology and should be the same transmission chain.
However, the specific source of infection is unclear, and subsequent samples are still being sequenced faster, more evidence is collected, and experts are organized for argumentation.
As of 24:00 on the 8th, Yuzhou City, Xuchang City has reported more than 100 local confirmed cases in this round of epidemic.
Yuzhou City issued a notice saying that from January 9, except for the identified high-risk areas, all other areas of Yuzhou City will be adjusted to medium-risk areas.
The medium- and high-risk areas are based on townships (streets), and all are subject to closed management, restricting the flow of people, and preventing the spread of epidemic risks to the greatest extent possible.
Shenzhen cases belong to the same transmission chain, Ningbo Beilun local confirmed cases increased to 38
On the 8th, Guangdong Province added 1 local confirmed case, which was reported in Shenzhen.
Shenzhen announced on the 9th that another confirmed case was found in the investigation of the key populations of the "0107" epidemic.
From January 7th to 9th, Shenzhen has reported a total of 4 local confirmed cases, all of which belong to the same transmission chain, are related to each other, and the transmission chain is clear.
The Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission stated that relevant departments in Shenzhen and the district have comprehensively checked the activity trajectories and personnel contacts of the 4 cases within 14 days, and have tracked 767 close contacts and 548 secondary contacts, all of which have been controlled as required.
At present, control measures have been implemented in the work and residence of all cases, and environmental nucleic acid sampling and terminal disinfection have been carried out in key places such as dining places, activity venues, and transportation vehicles. No other positive cases have been reported so far.
According to reports, the epidemic in Shenzhen was discovered during the routine testing of key practitioners, which was discovered earlier, and the scope of activities and contacts of the case were traceable and controllable.
According to the epidemiological investigation, nucleic acid detection and virus gene detection results, it is preliminarily determined that this outbreak is an imported related outbreak.
On the 8th, Zhejiang Province added 2 new local confirmed cases, both of which were found in Beilun District, Ningbo City, and were found during routine testing in isolation places.
As of 24:00 on the 8th, Ningbo Beilun has reported a total of 38 local confirmed cases in this round of epidemic.
New local confirmed cases in Xi'an hit a 20-day low, Beijing woman detained for fabricating and spreading false information about the epidemic
Xi'an reported 30 new local confirmed cases on the 8th, hitting a new low since December 20, 2021.
The new cases that day were all isolated and controlled personnel, and there were zero new cases at the community level for many consecutive days.
As of 24:00 on the 8th, a total of 1,989 local confirmed cases have been reported in Xi'an this round of epidemic.
The National Health and Medical Commission said on the 8th that the epidemic situation in Xi'an has shown a dynamic downward trend recently, the risk area is gradually decreasing, the community cases tend to be dynamically cleared, and the prevention and control work has achieved initial results.
Beijing Chaoyang Police reported on the 9th that in response to the Internet rumors that "overseas entry personnel refused to implement epidemic prevention measures to go out without authorization, resulting in the closure of parts of Sanlitun", after investigation by the police, this is a rumor.
