Yuan Guoyong's team analyzes the connection between the third wave of COVID-19 and Kazakhstan in the Philippines
[12:10] Hong Kong has ushered in the third wave of the novel coronavirus pneumonia since the beginning of July. A study conducted by a team from the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong analyzed the genes of 32 local patients from July 7 to 14 and found that 29 of them were infected. The gene sequence is similar to the sequence of 4 imported cases from the Philippines, and the gene sequence of another family of three is the most similar to the imported case from Kazakhstan. It is believed that the third epidemic is not related to the invisible transmission chain left over from the previous case, but is imported Case triggered.
The study also found that genetic mutations unique to Hong Kong patients are also difficult to find in GISAID (Global Viral Gene Database). The team believes that there are still important differences between local cases and imported cases, and the unknown connection between the two remains to be studied.

New Coronary Pneumonia | Zeng Qiyin is worried about the quality of self-sampling
[10:36] The third wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong continues. The government recently announced the launch of voluntary universal community testing.
