[17:21] Ou Jiarong said that recently, more cases of BA.4 or BA.5 could not be found, and it is believed that transmission has begun in the community. Now I hope that the case will be found and sent to isolation as soon as possible, and the family will be quarantined.

For the time being, no secondary infection has been seen in the cases, and they are all new infections. We will pay close attention to them. Scientific data shows that the current BA.4 or BA.5 cases have stronger transmission power than before, but they have not caused serious or increased chances of death.

However, there is preliminary evidence that BA.4 or BA.5 have escaped, and the protective power of previous infection may not be against it, but preliminary evidence shows that injections can prevent it.

BA.4 or BA.5 cases account for a small fraction of daily positive cases, less than one percent, but will watch to see if the proportion will increase.
