The Chinese Internet is circulating, a new mutant strain called BQ.1.1 has appeared. In response, the National Health and Health Commission of China responded that the strain caused severe illnesses andThe proportion of death is lower than the early popular mutant strains.
According to a report from China CCTV News on December 13, the Health Commission said that BQ.1 is the sixth generation of Omikon BA.5 in the process of population spread.Asian branch.BQ.1.1 is the first generation of BQ.1.The pathogenic forces of these evolutionary branches were significantly weakened, and the proportion of severe illnesses and deaths was significantly lower than the early popular mutant strains.
The Health and Health Commission said that at present, China has detected 49 cases of BQ.1 and its sub -branches in local cases of nine provinces, but it has not been widely popular.After patients infected BQ.1, the severity of the clinical clinical increased compared to other mutant strains.The current popular strains in China are still mainly BA.5's sub -branches BA.5.2 and BF.7.
The Health and Health Committee said that although BQ.1 has attracted global attention, no country has reported that the disease of BQ.1 and its sub -branch infected has increased.Reports increased.A recent animal study in Japan shows that the pathogenicity of BQ.1.1 may be the same or lower as BA.5.The public should not believe the public's rumors of spreading advantages in the Asian branch BQ.1.
The Health and Health Committee reminds the public to adhere to personal protection, maintain a healthy and civilized living habits, and actively vaccinate vaccines.At the same time, China will continue to strengthen the genome mutation changes in the global popular, input and local Omecko mutant strains, and to carry out the propagation of the propagation of the strains in a timely manner.The evaluation of force provides a scientific basis for the continuous optimization of vaccine research and development and prevention and control policies.
