There are both objective reasons for the strong infectivity and fast transmission speed of the Omicron BA.5.2 variant strain, and it also exposes the laxity in some areas. The problems of paralyzing the mind and the inadequate implementation of various prevention and control measures, especially the lack of nucleic acid detection capabilities, have become the biggest shortcoming.
