Many countries have been hit! The British variety novel coronavirus spread all over the world and Shenyang entered a wartime state in an all-round way! The source of the epidemic in Shunyi has been found.

The British variant novel coronavirus is spreading around the world, and patients infected with the virus have been found in Japan, France, Sweden, Ireland, Australia and Canada. Affected by this, a number of countries have launched a travel ban against Britain, and France has temporarily closed the English Channel.

As of December 30 local time, at least 14 cases of novel coronavirus variants initially found in the UK have been reported in many parts of Spain. Among them, 6 cases were confirmed in the Madrid region, and 13 suspected cases of novel coronavirus variants are being confirmed; there are also 5 cases in the Andalusia region, four people entered Spain from the United Kingdom, one person was infected because of close contact with the confirmed cases, and seven suspected patients need to be confirmed; Valencia region and Galicia region also reported 2 cases and 1 novel coronavirus variant case respectively.

A suspected case of novel coronavirus was found in Colorado on Wednesday after a case of infection with a variant of novel coronavirus was confirmed yesterday, officials from the Department of Health in Colorado said at a news conference on December 30. It is reported that the two cases that have been confirmed and suspected of being infected with novel coronavirus variant virus are members of the Colorado National Guard. At present, the two men have been quarantined. Since neither of them has a history of traveling abroad, experts say the mutant novel coronavirus may have appeared in the United States as early as November or December and began to spread.

Statistics from Johns Hopkins University show that as of 17:22 Eastern time on December 30th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases and deaths of COVID-19 in the United States had reached 19674100. In the past 24 hours, there have been 205329 new confirmed cases and 3849 new deaths in the United States.

Taiwan's epidemic command center announced on the 30th that the first case of novel coronavirus variants has occurred in Taiwan, according to Taiwanese media reports. Chen Shizhong, commander of the command center, said that there was a case of fever back in the United Kingdom, which had already been diagnosed. After genetic comparison, it was officially confirmed to be a variant case of novel coronavirus.

For the mutant novel coronavirus, the British government had previously warned that data showed that the new mutant virus spread 50% faster than other new crown virus strains. The British government had previously estimated that about 2/3 of the newly confirmed cases in the country may have been infected with the virus variant.

The good news is that a controlled study by the English Department of Public Health shows that although the mutant novel coronavirus found in the UK in mid-December spreads faster, it does not seem to make the patient more ill than other mutated viruses. The study added that the "renewal rate" was higher in patients with mutant novel coronavirus.

Pfizer said that the vaccine currently in production is still effective against new variants of the virus, but if the new virus is indeed more contagious, then the threshold needed to protect society may be raised. People may need to increase the vaccination rate to ensure that they can continue to live a normal life without interference.

Shenyang entered the wartime state in an all-round way and investigated the risk personnel in an all-round way.

On the afternoon of the 30th, a press conference on epidemic prevention and control was held in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. From 00: 00 to 24:00 on December 29th, there were two new confirmed cases of local COVID-19 and one local asymptomatic infection in Shenyang. At the press conference, Zhao Jikai, deputy secretary general of the Shenyang Municipal people's Government, said that party committees and governments at all levels attached great importance to the recent confirmed case of COVID-19 in Shenyang. In order to effectively deal with the current severe and complex epidemic situation, the state and Liaoning Province have sent a number of experts to guide and support the epidemic prevention and control work in Shenyang. Shenyang immediately launched an emergency response, fully entered a state of war, investigated all-round risk personnel, and resolutely prevented the spread of the epidemic.

At the press conference, Zhao Jikai, deputy secretary general of the Shenyang Municipal people's Government, said: strictly implement the requirements of Liaoning Provincial General headquarters Circular No. 16, strictly control the number, scale and time of large-scale conference activities, and implement closed-loop control of the whole process. Collective group worship and large-scale condolences, parties, dinners, training and other activities will be cancelled. We will further standardize the epidemic prevention and control of large-scale conference activities in the city, resolutely implement the principle of "safety first, prevention first", implement various regular prevention and control measures, enhance prevention, control and response capacity, and ensure that there are no problems in all aspects of large-scale conference activities. Reduce indoor gathering recreational activities, and in principle, the number of consumers accepted in places such as performance venues and indoor entertainment venues shall not exceed 75% of the approved number.

The local agglomeration epidemic in Shunyi has initially located the source of the epidemic.

Yesterday afternoon, at the 196th press conference on the prevention and control of the epidemic situation of COVID-19 in Beijing, Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that in view of the local gathering epidemic in Shunyi District, the city has initially locked the source of the epidemic and basically mastered the chain of transmission.

Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Municipal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a genome-wide sequence analysis of the confirmed cases of the epidemic, asymptomatic infections, and related environmental samples. The results show that the viruses of this epidemic all belong to the 2.3 European family branch of genotype L, which belongs to the same transmission chain. It has high homology with some virus strains found in Southeast Asia in November 2020, and is more likely to be imported from abroad. There is no genetic association between the virus and the previously found imported cases and local cases in China, which is not the continuous spread of the local epidemic in China in recent months, nor is it a new variant strain in the United Kingdom or South Africa.

It is preliminarily determined that the source of the infection is a new case of asymptomatic imported infection reported on December 28 (hereinafter referred to as case 1).

Case 1 is a 28-year-old man of Indonesian origin who has lived in Indonesia for a long time. He entered the country from Indonesia on November 26, 2020. He is a close contact with the same flight and row seat of a reported case imported from outside Indonesia in Fujian Province. After 14 days of isolation in Fujian and negative by nucleic acid test, he arrived in Beijing on December 10 and lived in Shunyi District. On December 26, novel coronavirus tested negative for nucleic acid and positive for serum IgM antibody; on December 27, novel coronavirus was positive for nucleic acid in his place of residence and work, and was transferred from 120 negative pressure ambulance to The Temple of Earth Hospital on December 28. Novel coronavirus was positive for nucleic acid on December 28, and was diagnosed as asymptomatic infection on the same day based on the results of epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and imaging tests.

Four new medium-risk areas were added in Dalian, and novel coronavirus of the National Pharmaceutical Group was safe after vaccination.

On December 29th, there were 3 new confirmed cases and 3 new local asymptomatic infections in Dalian, and a total of 38 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported. Recently, with the consent of Liaoning Provincial Prevention and Control headquarters, Minxin Community in Advanced Street, Shengli West Community in Guangzhong Street, Xinghai Park Community in Xinghai Street, and Dayou Tianyuan Community in Lingshui Street have been designated as medium-risk areas, and corresponding controls have been implemented.

Yesterday, Sinopharmaceutical Group China Biological Statistical Analysis, novel coronavirus inactivated vaccine phase III clinical trial analysis data showed that the Sinopharmaceutical Group China Biology Beijing Company novel coronavirus inactivated vaccine was safe after vaccination, and the protective effect of the vaccine against COVID-19 (COVID-19) was 79.34%. After two doses of vaccination, the vaccination group produced high titers of antibodies. The positive conversion rate of neutralizing antibody was 99.52%, and the results met the relevant technical standards of the World Health Organization and the relevant standards in the guiding principles for Clinical Evaluation of novel coronavirus Preventive Vaccine (trial) issued by the State Drug Administration. At present, Sinopharmaceutical Group China Biology Beijing Co., Ltd. has formally submitted a conditional listing application to the State Drug Administration.
