On October 4, the Sanya New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Work Headquarters held a press conference.
Yin Chengling, deputy mayor of Sanya City, introduced that on October 3, two new asymptomatic infections were added to Sanya City.
Among them, case 1 is a person who came to Qiong from low-risk areas in other provinces; case 2 is a close contact of case 1.
After gene sequencing and comparison, the strain involved is the evolutionary branch of the new coronavirus Omicron variant BA.5.2, which is highly homologous to the virus sequences circulating in other provinces.
