The number of local infections in mainland China is increasing day by day, the number of local infections is declining, and the overall epidemic situation is developing rapidly

  On the 28th, 3,561 new local cases were confirmed in mainland China, coming from 30 provinces.

Among them, 7 provinces had more than 100 new cases: Guangdong 1168 cases, Beijing 957 cases, Chongqing 209 cases, Sichuan 177 cases, Henan 164 cases, Yunnan 144 cases, Shanxi 135 cases, 16 provinces reached double digits, 7 provinces Each digit is added.

  There were 34,860 new local asymptomatic infections that day, still distributed in 31 provinces.

Among them, more than 500 new cases were added in 18 provinces: 8,583 in Chongqing, 7,725 in Guangdong, 3,429 in Beijing, 1,406 in Sichuan, 1,335 in Shanxi, 991 in Xinjiang, 900 in Shaanxi, 809 in Jilin, 808 in Shandong, and 791 in Tianjin. , 730 cases in Qinghai, 697 cases in Hebei, 682 cases in Henan, 623 cases in Hubei, 609 cases in Gansu, 566 cases in Yunnan, 542 cases in Liaoning, 541 cases in Heilongjiang, and another 10 provinces with more than 100 new cases each.

  According to official data, on the 28th, there were 38,421 new local infections (confirmed + asymptomatic cases) in mainland China. The number of daily local infections exceeded 30,000 for 6 consecutive days, but declined after rising for 8 consecutive days.

  Chinese officials stated on the 28th that the current national epidemic situation is developing rapidly in general, and the epidemic has spread to a wide range of areas. There is a risk of a large-scale rebound of the epidemic in some places, and some places are facing the most complicated and severe situation in the three years since the fight against the epidemic.

The pathogenicity and virulence of the Omicron mutant strain are significantly weakened

  On the 28th, 957 new local confirmed cases and 3,429 asymptomatic infections were added in Beijing (including 16 asymptomatic cases converted to confirmed cases and 30 suspected cases corrected to confirmed cases). Potential.

490 of the above-mentioned infected persons were social screeners.

From 00:00 to 15:00 on the 29th, Beijing added 2,126 new cases of local infection, of which 191 cases were screened out from the social side.

  The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that the current epidemic situation in Beijing is still in a period of rapid development, and among the new cases, the proportion of screening cases in risk areas has increased.

In addition, a number of recent clusters of epidemics have involved key prevention and control areas such as urban-rural fringe areas, overpopulated villages, and bungalow areas, warning everyone to fully understand the complexity, difficulty, and repetition of fighting the epidemic.

  Beijing recently reported that the main strain of the current round of the epidemic in the city is the subclade of Omicron BF.7, which has a stronger ability to escape immunity and spread faster.

There are also reports on the evolutionary branches of the Omicron mutant strains in many places.

After continuous mutation and evolution, the virulence and pathogenicity of Omicron has attracted the attention of the outside world.

  The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention responded on the 29th that international and domestic surveillance data confirmed that the Omicron mutant strain and its evolutionary branches BA.1, BA.2, and BA.5 series, including BF.7, BQ.1, and recombinants The pathogenicity and virulence of XBB are significantly weaker than that of the original strain and Delta and other mutant strains, and the proportion of severe disease and death is significantly lower than that of the original strain and the mutant strain of concern. It may be related to factors such as the improvement of the population's vaccination immunity and timely intervention and treatment.

The daily increase in the number of infections in Guangzhou continues to decline, and multiple districts dynamically adjust social prevention and control measures

  On the 28th, Guangdong Province newly confirmed 469 local cases (another 699 cases were transferred from asymptomatic infections) and 7725 cases of asymptomatic infections.

Among them, 286 cases were confirmed in Guangzhou, and 6993 cases were asymptomatic infections. The number of local infections increased slightly for 7 consecutive days.

  Guangzhou City reported on the 29th that 7,279 new cases of local infection were added in the city on the 28th, of which 98 cases were found in the society.

On the 28th, 5,428 cases were discharged from hospitals (cabins) in a single day in the city, and a total of 32,669 cases were discharged (cabins) in this round of epidemic.

  According to reports, 6,932 new cases were added in Haizhu District of Guangzhou that day, which is still the "epicenter" of this round of epidemic; the epidemic in Tianhe District is developing rapidly, and the risk of social transmission continues to increase, and the epidemic in a few areas shows a trend of local cluster outbreaks in the region; Panyu District The clustered epidemics in five towns and streets continued to develop, and the number of cases increased rapidly and spread to the surrounding areas.

At present, the overall situation is intertwined with local aggregation and point-like distribution. The prevention and control of the epidemic is facing dual pressures from the local and imported, and the task of prevention and control is very arduous.

  In order to effectively block the spread of the epidemic, multiple districts in Guangzhou have recently adjusted and strengthened social prevention and control measures and nucleic acid testing strategies based on the situation of epidemic prevention and control in their jurisdictions to minimize the flow of people and reduce the risk of epidemic spread.

Chongqing's zero-clearing campaign has achieved remarkable results, and Sichuan has seen an increase of more than 1,000 cases for 8 consecutive days

  On the 28th, Chongqing City newly confirmed 209 local cases and 8583 cases of asymptomatic infections. The number of daily local infections has dropped significantly from the previous day (238+9447).

At present, there are more and more epidemic-free communities and epidemic-free communities in the city, and the social zero-clearing campaign has achieved remarkable results.

However, the city's epidemic situation is still in a period of high volatility, the development of the epidemic situation in the affected districts and counties is clearly differentiated, the prevention and control is in a state of stalemate, and the overall situation is severe and complicated.
