Overview of yesterday's epidemic:
epidemic.
7.5｜The number of confirmed cases has reached 2000 again, and the 4 classes of Yinghua College will be suspended due to the outbreak of the epidemic

The Center for Food Safety of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department announced that it received a test report from the Department of Health today, indicating that a surface sample of mango imported from Taiwan tested positive.
The Center for Food Safety stated that in response to the relevant test results in Macao recently, the Center strengthened the inspection.

Recently, the number of hospital admissions has increased to more than 100, and the number of hospitalized patients has doubled monthly
[16:59] Guan Huimin said no, although the Hospital Authority has made different preparations when the epidemic rebounds, I hope the public will not take it lightly. Citizens who have not received all the injections should get the injections as soon as possible, and have regular tests to confirm the diagnosis. You can make an appointment to see a doctor at a designated clinic, and will prescribe new crown oral drugs for suitable patients to reduce the chance of severe illness.
It seems like the fifth wave. If the public hospital has to admit a large number of confirmed patients, it will put a lot of pressure on the service. Therefore, the service may need to be adjusted accordingly. For example, non-emergency services such as admission examination and surgery may have to be suspended. The current epidemic situation, and be careful.

Zhang Zhujun said that the proportion of BA.4 has gradually increased. On June 21, the proportion was 0%, and the local case was close to 1%. It is obvious that the transmission rate is relatively high, and he is worried that there will be re-infection. You should pay close attention. If you feel unwell, you should get tested as soon as possible. Sometimes you think it is nothing special when you do a quick test at home and think it is nothing special. If you feel sick, you cannot rely on the quick test alone. It is more stable to see a doctor and do a formal nucleic acid test.
