China News Service, Beijing, October 24 (Zhang Yilin) On the 24th, the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference.
Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the National Health Commission's Disease Control Bureau, said that the epidemic has spread in a wide range and is highly contagious. The vast majority of people who have been infected across regions are related to tourist groups or self-driving tourists.
The virus in this epidemic is a delta mutant strain. The high viral nucleic acid load of respiratory samples in some cases indicates that this round of epidemic cases have a large amount of detoxification and strong transmission power, and the risk of recurring transmission among exposed populations is higher.
