On the same day, 7 cases of asymptomatic infections were added, and 1 case was confirmed, and 114 cases of asymptomatic infections are still under medical observation.

On the 21st, 11 new local cases were added, with the exception of 9 in Beijing and 2 in Hebei, both of which were close contacts of new-market related cases.
Seven new confirmed cases imported from abroad were reported by Shanghai, Shaanxi, Tianjin and Liaoning. Three cases in Shanghai were from India (2 cases) and the United States (1 case, transited from the UK); two cases in Shaanxi, imported from Pakistan; one case in Tianjin and Liaoning, respectively, from Spain and Belarus.
The recent epidemic associated with the new market in Beijing has become the focus of epidemic prevention and control in mainland China, but imported cases have continued to grow in recent times. Chinese officials and several experts have stated that while the global epidemic continues to spread, foreign defense Importation is still an important task for China's epidemic prevention and control.
Beijing's epidemic spread has been curbed to increase to 43 high-risk areas
There were 9 newly confirmed cases on the 21st in Beijing, and the number of daily cases has dropped to single digits for the first time in the past week.
According to official announcements, Beijing first discovered confirmed cases associated with the new-origin market from June 11, and the number of newly confirmed cases on the 13th and 14th rose to a high of 36 cases, and then entered a trend of volatility decline (27th on the 15th Cases, 31 cases on the 16th, 21 cases on the 17th, 25 cases on the 18th, 22 cases on the 19th, 22 cases on the 20th, and 9 cases on the 21st). As of 24:00 on the 21st, Beijing has reported a total of 236 confirmed cases in the past 11 days, and 22 cases of asymptomatic infections still under medical observation.
At a news conference on the 22nd, Beijing Municipal Government spokesman Xu Hejian said that at present, Beijing has successfully figured out the spread of the epidemic and the important risk points in the shortest time, curbed the spread of the epidemic and made good progress. The situation is clear, but the epidemic prevention and control situation in the capital is still grim and complicated.
Tiancun Road Street, Haidian District, Beijing, and Xiaohongmen District, Chaoyang District were upgraded to medium-risk areas on the 22nd. So far, Beijing has 39 medium-risk areas. In addition, there are 4 high-risk areas in Huaxiang and Xincun streets in Fengtai District, Xihongmen and Huangcun Towns in Daxing District.
Tianjin's "special" case infection source is still initially associated with the new market
Tianjin announced on June 22 that the latest findings of the virus tracing of newly confirmed local cases on June 17 said that combining the epidemiological history and gene sequencing results, the preliminary judgment is that people are passed from person to person.
The Tianjin Center for Disease Control stated that through multiple investigations, a chef at the hotel where the diagnosed case was working was positive for serum IgM. The chef has visited Beijing many times recently, but this person has not shown any symptoms so far. There have been intersections at work. At the same time, the Tianjin CDC conducted a full-throughput high-throughput sequencing and sequence analysis of the new coronavirus genome of the respiratory tract specimens of the confirmed cases. The China CDC reviewed and confirmed that the virus sequences of the relevant cases in the new market in Beijing were identical and belonged to L Genotype European Family Branch I.
A new "special" local confirmed case was added in Tianjin on the 17th. The 22-year-old patient was a kitchen assistant in a hotel western restaurant. He reported that he had no history of going out 14 days before the onset of illness. It is undoubtedly similar to the case and the contact history of the confirmed case. Tianjin’s previous close contact with the patient and environmental samples were negative, and the source of the infection was once a mystery, which caused great concern from the outside world.
Expert: Beijing epidemic is not the "second wave" This week may enter a "stabilization period"
At a summer summit on the 22nd, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Shanghai Huashan Hospital Infection Department, pointed out that the recent Beijing epidemic was only a rebound in some areas, not the "second wave" of the epidemic. Regarding the "second wave" of the epidemic, Europe and the Americas should be more concerned globally. The former faced repeated challenges in the economic restart after the initial control of the epidemic, while the latter's epidemic spread was not effectively controlled.
Wu Hao, an expert from the National Health and Health Commission's Expert Committee on Disease Prevention and Control, believes that the Beijing epidemic will enter a "stabilization period" this week, and the number of newly diagnosed people every day will remain at a certain number. However, these cases are mainly the gradual presentation of the results of early nucleic acid detection, and the onset is within the scope of control.
Wu Hao said that there are now no cases in some areas, which does not mean there is no virus, and there may be asymptomatic people. This requires the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, and the emergence of an environment suitable for the survival of the virus, such as the elimination of some related markets such as farmers' markets, so as not to appear the next "new place".
