The last zero diagnosis was last Friday, and it was cleared again today after one day.
Cases of unknown origin are even counted to a 17-year-old girl who was diagnosed with Alpha virus strain on June 5.
According to sources, the authorities tested his pet Chinchilla for the virus and the result was negative.
Lin Wenjian, Director of the Centre for Health Protection, explained in the Legislative Council that the sequence of the virus genes of Taiwan and Shenzhen patients has been obtained. The sequence of the girls is not similar to that of the two places. They also compared the gene banks of imported cases from the end of last year to the present, the Department of Health, the University of Hong Kong and The University of Science and Technology has not found the source of the teenage girl’s infection, and the World Health Organization’s gene bank is nowhere to be found, that is, local, inland, Taiwan, and international evidence can not tell the ins and outs of the teenage girl’s infection.
Respiratory system specialist Liang Zichao said that the transmission chain of the Shenzhen case was clear and single, but the Taiwan case was caused by crew members and involved four or more virus strains. This reflected a multi-source import, which caused a rapid outbreak in Taiwan. Not all species may be detected immediately, so the relationship between the source of infection of the 17-year-old girl and the Taiwan case cannot be ruled out.
He also said that cross-family transmission has not occurred in the girl’s diagnosis for more than a week. Even if the confirmed infections are sporadic infections, the source of the girl’s infection has never been found. It is not appropriate to relax social distancing measures at the moment. At least two more observations are needed. week.
