More than 2,000 new infections in a single day in Jilin, the official response to the surge in infections

　　As of 24:00 on March 12, Jilin Province has reported a total of 2,052 local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and a total of 1,527 asymptomatic infections of the new coronavirus.

　　On the 13th, a press conference held by Jilin Province introduced that on the 12th, the number of confirmed infections in the province increased significantly. It is difficult to detect in the early stage, and it is easy to form community transmission.

　　On the other hand, it reflects that some areas are facing the situation of rapid increase of the epidemic situation, and the medical resources expansion capacity is insufficient, resulting in limited centralized admission and treatment in a short period of time.

The emergency response mechanism in some areas is not perfect, the understanding of the characteristics of the Omicron virus and the severe and complex epidemic situation is insufficient, and the research and judgment are inaccurate. There are still gaps in terms of what should be separated, what should be treated, and what should be managed.

　　In addition, Zhao Qinglong, director of the Emergency Office of the Jilin Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that the subtype of Omicron BA.2, which caused the epidemic in Jilin, was about 30% more infectious than the previously prevalent BA.1, and its replication in bronchial tissue The titer was 70 times that of the delta variant.

　　He said that there are about 50 nucleotide mutation sites in the Omicron variant, of which more than 30 mutation sites are located on the spike protein of the virus. The spike protein is the key for the virus to infect human cells, and mutations can increase The ability of the virus to bind to human cells increases the spread of the virus, and its infectivity is 37.5% higher than that of the delta variant.
