"I still have a lot of confidence that the COVID-19 pandemic will end at the end of this year." On the 15th, in the connection with CCTV News "Relativity" reporter Zhuang Shengchun, Zhang Wenhong, director of the National Infectious Disease Medical Center and director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said that in principle, after the next year, whether it is the level of herd immunity, or the immune barrier established through vaccines, and then to the listing of new crown treatment drugs, it means that "this may be the last 'cold winter'".

Whether it's Delta or Opmiqueron, it's just that the virus has mutated. Zhang Wenhong has said that if the new crown regroups with other coronaviruses, the situation may be worse. In the connection, Zhang Wenhong further explained: "So far, this is still a very low probability event. I believe that the experience we have accumulated in the process of dealing with COVID-19, no matter what kind of mutation the virus will occur in the future, we humans will still be able to cope with it. ”

In the video connection, reporter Zhuang Shengchun also raised the question of netizens to Zhang Wenhong: When the girl said that she was afraid that she would not be able to return home because of the epidemic this year, how to comfort her and cheer her up?

"Tell her it's going to be the last winter, and we'll cheer up." We believe in China, we believe in the world, there are so many people working together, we get through this cold winter, next year's Spring Festival will no longer be so cold. ”

When asked about his New Year's wishes, Zhang Wenhong replied: "I hope that next spring festival, every family can be reunited, and every pair of long-distance lovers can hug together." ”
