Hubei disease control experts remind: Regarding Omikon BA.2.76 mutant strains, you should understand these

Author:Changjiang Daily Time:2022.09.06

At present, most of the new crown epidemic occurred in Wuhan, Xiaogan, Huanggang and other places in Hubei Province. Hubei Disease Control experts will take you to understand Omikon BA.2.76 mutant strains, so as not to panic, not afraid, scientific response, and precise prevention and control.

1. The characteristics of Omik Rong BA.2.76

01

Strong infectious, fast transmission speed

BA.2.76 Mutant strains are currently the most contagious and fastest transmission. It can enter the host cells in about 2 minutes, and quickly present the index copy in the upper respiratory tract. Virus particles can infect the virus to another individual in less than 24 hours. It can spread a generation in less than 2 days.

02

The virus toxicity is relatively low, and the symptoms of infected people are not severe

Most infected people have no obvious clinical symptoms, and asymptomatic infection accounts for relatively high. Symptom patients are mainly deficient symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and sore throat. This also leads to the increase in the difficulty of early discovery and early control of cases, which can easily cause diffusion and spread, and increase the difficulty of prevention and control.

2. How to do a good job of personal protection

01

wear mask

Wearing a suitable mask is still an effective way to block virus transmission, and it is also applicable to the Omikon mutant strains. When taking the elevator, when taking public transport, you should wear a mask when entering a densely personnel public place. When you seek medical treatment, it is recommended to wear a disposable medical surgical mask or the above -class mask. The mask needs to be replaced in time, and the cumulative wearing time for each mask does not exceed 8 hours.

02

Wash your hands frequently

Hand washing is one of the simple and effective measures to prevent infectious diseases. After your hands are dirty, wash your hands; wash your hands before meals; after returning home, after taking care of the patient, after coughing or sneezing, after cleaning, after contacting the courier, after contacting the elevator button, door handle, etc. Or disinfection.

03

Gathe

Take off the close -range gathering of the mask is an important channel for virus transmission. Dinner and gatherings in closed public places can easily cause the spread of respiratory tract infectious diseases. It is recommended that public places can not go.

04

One -meter wire

When queuing, payment, conversation, exercise, visits, and shopping, maintain a social distance of more than 1 meter to avoid talking loudly to face to face.

05

Do a good job of personal health monitoring

When there are symptoms of suspected new crown pneumonia, such as fever, cough, short respiratory and other symptoms, timely monitor body temperature and take the initiative to see the doctor. Especially in recent days, the epidemic areas and communities that have been reported in the epidemic situation must be reported to the local village (neighborhood) committee or medical and health institution.

06

Nucleic acid amplification testing

After the infection of the virus, the length of the individual's incubation period has certain individual differences. From exposure to the exposure to the virus to detecting positive, some people need 1 day, and some people need longer to effectively find those who are infected with new crown virus hidden in the community. Multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing is needed. For the health of your and your family, please take the initiative to cooperate with nucleic acid testing to achieve "inspection should be checked."

07

Cooperate with the implementation of various epidemic prevention measures

In public places, measures such as temperature testing and maintenance code should be matched. Measures such as completion of information registration, flow adjustment, nucleic acid screening, community inspection and isolation control in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention requirements.
