The first confirmed case of infection with the new crown variant strain was found in Shandong Province, and one uk import case was reported in Qingdao

On January 4, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Shandong Province completed a full-gene sequencing analysis of samples of one British imported case reported in Qingdao, which was compared with the recent high-profile sequence of British variants.
this case is the first imported case of new coronavirus VUI-202012/01 mutant infection in our province.
the first mutant strain found in our province affect the current outbreak prevention and control? How should the public respond? Dr. Lei Jie, chief expert and chief physician in the field of public health emergency management of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Shandong Province, and Ko Jin, director of the Institute for the Prevention and Control of Viral Infectious Diseases, made a detailed interpretation.
Q: What is the case of the mutant strain in our province? Ko said that the provincial CDC carried out the whole genome sequencing of the new coronavirus, successfully obtained the whole genome sequence of the case, compared with the reference sequence analysis, the input case sequence is the new coronavirus European family L2.1 type, with the recent high-profile British variant sequence (VUI-202012/01 or B.1.1.7 mutant strain) compared to the same origin of 99.99%.
Q: What is the management of the mutant strain after it is detected? Lei Jie said that for immigrants, Shandong Province to implement strict closed-loop management.
cases were immediately sent to a designated medical facility for diagnosis and treatment after testing positive during their stay in the hotel, and the whole process was under strict closed-loop management.
Q: How does the public recognize and respond? Lei Jie said that at present, all over the country to implement closed-loop management of immigration personnel, Shandong Province has also implemented a strict "point-to-point" closed-loop management, Qingdao City strictly implemented the "encryption detection" "closed-loop transport" and other measures, so that patients can be diagnosed during isolation.
, in general, people found in immigration, whether confirmed cases or asymptomatic infections, are unlikely to enter the general community, the public need not panic.
we all need to always bear in mind the four major measures of epidemic prevention and control eight attention, especially wearing masks, frequent hand washing, often ventilation, less gathering, consciously do a good job of personal protection, the formation of good living habits.
Q: Will the mutant strain affect the new crown vaccinations we're working on? On December 21, 2020, WHO experts said at a press conference that the emergence of new coronavirus strains in the United Kingdom mainly caused "two changes and three changes", of which "three unchanged" refers to the pathogenicity of the variants, the effectiveness of nucleic acid testing and the effectiveness of the vaccine unchanged.
, no effect of this variant on the immune effectiveness of the inactivated new coronavirus vaccine we are inoculating has been detected.
Q: What does it mean to find a variant of the virus? Shandong is the third province after Shanghai and Guangdong to find the mutant strain, Lei said.
The significance of the discovery of mutant strains lies in: First, the new coronary pneumonia is "preventable, controllable, treatable", the discovery of mutant strains shows that under the normal outbreak prevention and control we have the ability to through strong monitoring, timely detection of virus variants, timely research, timely improvement of response measures, which once again proved that our established monitoring system is sensitive and reliable.
is a further reminder that the current outbreak of new crown pneumonia abroad is still in a widespread epidemic state, must not be paralysed.
to the situation and development of the world-wide epidemic, we will pay close attention to the impact of new changes in a timely and targeted manner, timely and targeted adjustment of prevention and control strategies.
is to remind the relevant prevention and control departments at any time to maintain a high degree of vigilance, so that "external defense input, internal non-proliferation", always alert.
