The intensity of coronavirus activity has increased
The detection rate of the new coronavirus in the mainland in June
There was a slight increase
On July 10, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention released the national epidemic situation of novel coronavirus infection in June 2024. The report shows that the proportion of influenza-like cases in outpatient (emergency) visits in sentinel hospitals across the country fluctuated slightly, and the positive rate of influenza-like cases increased slightly from 6.2% in week 23 (June 3-June 9) to 7.2% in week 26 (June 24-June 30). Judging from the reported data, the proportion of the new coronavirus JN.1 variant XDV has increased.
Hu Yang, chief physician of the respiratory department of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, said that he has received six or seven confirmed cases of new crown in the ward since July, including an elderly man in his 80s who was diagnosed with pneumonia due to severe lung inflammation and new crown positive; The remaining three patients were admitted to the hospital for other illnesses and unexpectedly tested positive for COVID with worsening symptoms during treatment. Hu Yang said bluntly, "Since July, the number of new crown patients admitted to the outpatient clinic has indeed increased compared with some time ago. ”
The XDV variant was proposed for the first time
At present, the new coronavirus circulating in mainland China mainly includes JN.1 and XDV variants. Compared with the JN.1 variant, the transmissibility, pathogenicity and immune escape ability of the XDV variant were not significantly changed.
In response to the XDV variant, Hu Yang told reporters that although the detailed characteristics of the XDV variant still need to be discovered, at present, the XDV variant can still be prevalent in a high-temperature environment, but from the perspective of the relatively mild symptoms of outpatients, there is no need to panic too much, and normal protection can be done.
However, some patients with chronic underlying medical conditions are still at high risk of infection and progression to severe disease. Hu Yang reminded that for the elderly, especially those with chronic diseases, the new crown virus is still a more threatening pathogen than the influenza virus, and we must pay attention to preventing infection.
