Gao Fu, former director of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the cities represented by Beijing, Henan, Jiangsu, and Anhui have passed the peak of cities. The second wave of epidemic peaks will appear in remote rural areas.
Gao Fu, also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently accepted an exclusive interview with China News Weekly and published on Thursday (January 19).
When he was asked during the interview, when the large -scale population flow during the Spring Festival, a new response would be made when a new peak of infection occurred.
Gao Fu said that the peak of the infection of the city has passed with provinces and cities represented by Beijing, Henan, Jiangsu, and Anhui.In Beijing, there is still some crowded in the hospital recently, but the number of patients in the diagnosis has declined compared to the early epidemic.Some counties and rural areas have also passed the peak of infection.
He pointed out that the main popular virus strains in China are now two branches of BF.7 and BA 5.2. If there are regions with a high infection rate, the probability of repeated infection in the population in the short term is very small.However, for areas that have not yet entered the peak of infection, such as some remote rural areas, due to the return of the people during the Spring Festival, there may be a peak of infection.
Gao Fu said that this wave of infection will not be higher than the first wave of peaks after the adjustment of the epidemic prevention policy.However, the new peak of infection is likely to appear in the lack of medical medicine, and less than 10%of the remaining domestic domestic vaccination is not completed. Medical extrusion will occur in these areas.Basic diseases, high -risk people.
He believes that the rural rural infection peak will continue until March.There are more appeals during the Spring Festival, and everyone may pay more attention.As soon as the Spring Festival, when everyone relaxes the awareness of prevention and control, there may be a small peak in infection from February to March.
