Milan district health officials said at a press conference on Wednesday that they tested passengers on two flights, one from Beijing and one from Shanghai.

CDC said it took the latest measures to slow the spread of the new crown virus in the United States during the surge in the number of cases in China.
These data are critical to monitoring the rise of the epidemic and slowing down the new variant virus , CDC will continue to monitor the situation and adjust relevant practices as necessary.
In addition, the CDC announced that the voluntary inspection and monitoring program for passengers targeting variant viruses will be expanded to seven major airports in the United States. Currently, at least 30 countries have implemented this program to monitor new variant viruses.
Japan and South Korea tightened control over Chinese immigrants
Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio announced on the 27th that starting from the 30th, all people departing from China must be quarantined when they arrive, and those who test positive must undergo genome analysis at designated facilities. seven days.

"Increasing international concern about the ongoing surge in Covid-19 cases in China and the lack of transparent data, including virus genome sequence data from China. "Without this data, it is increasingly difficult for public health officials to ensure that they Ability to identify any potential new variants and take swift action to reduce spread. "
外交部回应
对此，中国外交部发言人汪文斌主持例行记者会上表示：当前，需要各方科学抗疫，携手共进，保障各国人员安全往来，维护全球产业链The supply chain is stable and promotes the recovery of healthy growth of the world economy. China has always believed that the epidemic prevention measures of various countries should be scientific and appropriate, and should not affect normal personnel exchanges. We have also noticed that many countries have expressed positive attitudes towards China's formulation of temporary measures for the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel , looking forward to the further recovery of personnel exchanges between China and foreign countries, and the further improvement of the degree of facilitation.There is a big difference between the popular covid in China. Recently, it has been circulating on the Internet. Is the virus strain of 2020 coming again?
In this regard, Hubei released an official Weibo message, and Yang Xiaobing, director of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Institute of Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the monitoring data showed that the current Amicron mutant strain that is prevalent in Wuhan is still BA .5. 2. Since October, all the viruses detected in the collected samples are BA.5.2 mutant strains, and have not found other types of strains.
Yang Xiaobing introduced that Wuhan has been sampling and monitoring at two sentinel hospitals, Wuhan First Hospital and Wuhan Children's Hospital, once a week, with 20 samples of throat swabs each time. In mid-December, the number increased to 40 each time, and this week, Jinyintan Hospital was added as a sentinel hospital for sampling. Surveillance data show that the mutated strain of Omicron that is prevalent in Wuhan at this stage is still BA.5.2. From October to now, all the viruses detected in the collected samples are BA.5.2 mutant strains, and no other types of strains have been found.
Affected by various factors such as cold weather, in this epidemic, many people developed symptoms after virus infection, mainly fever, cough, muscle aches, dry throat, nasal congestion, diarrhea, etc., and upper respiratory symptoms were obvious. also has lung inflammation, but compared to the number of people who are sick, the proportion of who has lung inflammation is relatively small.
Although pneumonia is no longer the main symptom, the health hazards caused by it have also been significantly reduced. However, experts say still need to pay attention to , new coronavirus infection is still one of the pathogens that cause lung inflammation. If the infection does not recover for a long time, and cough, fever, chest tightness and other aggravated symptoms occur, seek medical treatment in time to prevent it from becoming severe.
