There have been no new local cases in Hangzhou City for 3 consecutive days and Ningbo City for 4 consecutive days.
All cases in Dongguan, Guangdong are still in the same transmission chain. The sequencing results of a specimen from a case in Dongxing, Guangxi are the evolutionary branch of Delta
On the 22nd, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, was newly diagnosed with a local case, a 7-year-old boy. It was found in the daily nucleic acid test of key populations in the closed area that the nucleic acid test results were negative for 6 consecutive times.
Dongguan City notified on the 23rd that as of 24:00 on the 22nd, a total of 24 local confirmed cases were reported in the Dongguan epidemic. The gene sequencing results were all delta variants, which belonged to the same transmission chain.

The sequencing result of the first specimen is the Delta evolutionary branch, and the sequencing of other newly discovered cases is underway.
At present, the local area is rapidly and accurately carrying out epidemiological investigations, implementing nucleic acid testing for all employees, strengthening environmental destruction in key areas, strictly implementing grid prevention and control measures, and striving to control the epidemic within an incubation period.
Four nucleic acid-positive persons in Henan were investigated for the occurrence of Xi'an epidemic-related cases in Shanxi
On the 22nd, Shenqiu County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province added 4 local positive persons (2 confirmed cases and 2 cases of asymptomatic infection), who belonged to Xi’an self-driving returnees.
