What are the characteristics of Omik Rong BA.5 sub -branch?Jiangsu Disease Control expert: Infectious and immune escape ability has increased

Bao Jiajun was interviewed by Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu Journalist

Recently, Omikon BA.5 Asian branches have become the main popular plants in the world, and have triggered a local clustering epidemic in my country. What are the characteristics of Omik Rong BA.5 sub -branch? What should individuals and units pay attention to the prevention and control of the epidemic in the near future? Why actively cooperate with nucleic acid testing? In response to hot issues, on the 10th, a reporter from the Yangtze Evening News interviewed Bao Jiajun, an expert in the Jiangsu Provincial Health and Health Commission's New Crown Pneumonia Prevention and Treatment Expert Group (Public Health), Director of the Provincial Disease Control Center, Director of the Provincial Disease Control Center, and chief physician.

Question 1: What is the current epidemic situation? What are the characteristics of Omik Rong BA.5 sub -branch?

Answer: From an international point of view, the worldwide epidemic reports have signs of slowing out of epidemic reports, but in general, the overseas epidemic is still at a high level, and the number of new diagnosis cases is about 1 million cases. At the same time, many countries have relaxed domestic prevention and control and entry management. On the one hand, the number of cases of discovery has declined, and on the other hand, it will increase the risk of epidemic transmission.

The continuous mutation of the new coronal virus has brought new challenges to the prevention and control of the epidemic. Recently, Omikon BA.5 Asian branches have become the major popular plants in the world. This new mutant plant has enhanced infectious and enhanced immune escape ability. It has caused local gathering epidemic in my country and has severe and complicated situations.

Question 2: In the current epidemic situation, how do individuals do well?

Answer: To prevent the spread of the epidemic, everyone needs to work together to build a social defense line. Everyone is the first responsible person of their own health. Here I call on everyone to achieve the "three initiatives":

The first is to take the initiative to do personal protection. In contrast to the "Code of Citizen's Basic Conduct", continue to maintain good health habits, pay attention to maintaining a social distance of more than one meter in person -intensive places, dining civilizations, strengthening exercise, and regular scouts. Special reminder that once there are symptoms such as fever, dry cough, sore throat, fatigue, etc., do not buy the medicine to "carry it" by yourself. In the previous epidemic, we found that some positive infected people had this behavior. It is necessary to go to the hot kidney medical treatment in time. This is to be responsible for yourself, others, and society.

The second is to actively cooperate with prevention and control measures. Recently, there is a history of residential area in the area of ​​local epidemic, especially those who intersect with newly -added confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections. Wait for health management measures. It is necessary to pay close attention to the official information of the official epidemic, domestic epidemic dynamics, and the changes in the risk of epidemic affairs in various places. Do not believe in rumors, do not spread rumors, always maintain vigilance, strict prevention, and support prevention and control measures.

The third is to actively vaccinate the new coronary vaccine. Omikon's mutant strain has fast transmission, short latent period, and strong hidden. At present, the effect of new crown virus vaccine is still significant for preventing severe illnesses and death. Actively vaccinate the new crown virus vaccine and inoculate the needle. In particular, eligible elderly friends who meet the conditions must complete the vaccination as soon as possible and build an immune barrier.

Question 3: How do the unit do a good job of preventing and controlling the epidemic?

Answer: We have always emphasized the implementation of the "Quartet responsibility" of the epidemic prevention, that is, we must implement the four -party responsibility of the territory, department, unit, and individuals, and establish a common prevention and control system for the whole society. In terms of epidemic prevention and control, the unit must do the following:

The first is to do a good job of personnel management. It is necessary to establish a round -trip registration system for employees on business trips and tourism, and make timely investigations of employees in the history of intermediate and high -risk areas, and cross -track employees with trajectory with infected people. To carry out employee health monitoring, if the health code is abnormal, we must take relevant prevention and control measures as soon as possible.

The second is to strengthen the management of the place. Strengthen ventilation and cleanliness and cleaning and disinfection. Reduce clustering activities, encourage the peaks to eat, and try to use paperless office.

Finally, make emergency response. It is necessary to formulate a plan in conjunction with the actual formulation of the unit to reserve epidemic prevention materials. Once the confirmed cases, suspected cases, and asymptomatic infections occur immediately, do a good job of temporary management and control immediately, and cooperate with relevant departments to do well in personnel transport, nucleic acid testing, and flow traceability.

Question 4: Is it necessary to participate in nucleic acid detection?

Answer: Nucleic acid testing is an important means of discovering new cases of new coronary pneumonia and asymptomatic infections in time, and it is also the requirements for the prevention and control of the epidemic. Due to the strong spread, concealment, and low pathogenic force of the new coronal virus Omikon, some positive infections have no symptoms or symptoms after infection, and it is difficult to detect, but it has a certain amount of infectiousness. The infectious infection of positive infections is relatively low in early onset. If you can find and take isolation measures through nucleic acid testing at this time, the risk of epidemic transmission will be greatly reduced, and the cost of prevention and control and social impact will be greatly reduced. If you do not participate in nucleic acid testing, once the new coronal virus is infected, it is easy to cause the epidemic spread. This is how many clustered epidemic spread in the past.

It is also very convenient to do nucleic acid detection now. Many places will regularly organize regional nucleic acid testing. Here I still call on everyone to do a good job of preventing and controlling the normalized epidemic and local epidemic treatment. ", Responsible for the health of yourself and his family. This is also the requirement of the new version of the "Code of Citizen's Basic Conduct".

Question 5: Summer is the peak tourist season. If you really need to travel, what should you do to protect it?

Answer: At the current peak of summer tourism travel, people flow and gather frequently, and the potential risks of clustering epidemic and spreading and spread across regions have increased.Please pay close attention to changes in the situation in the epidemic situation. It is not necessary to go to high -risk areas and areas where local epidemics occur.If you really need to go out, you must do a good job of personal protection. When taking public transportation and traveling to tourist attractions, pay attention to gathering less, handing your hands frequently, wearing a mask scientifically, and maintaining a social distance.Yangtze Evening News/Zi Niu News Profile reporter Lu Yanlin
