Zhang Zhujun added that he just learned that the patient's initial test report was L452R, which is suspected to be a Delta variant virus, which may not be related to the earlier Omicron.
She also pointed out that the patient had symptoms as early as January 11, including sore throat and cough, but had only taken over-the-counter medicine without seeing a doctor. Confirmed initial positive.
