Two more cases of the British variant of the virus invaded Taiwan, and a total of 4 people have been infected with the variant of the virus. Chen Shizhong, the commander of the Epidemic Command Center, said that today two cases of the British variant of the virus were detected from 216 people with a history of British travel. For the case of 793 British men in their 30s and the case of 799 British men in their 70s, there are still 7 people left to take the test. There are currently 4 cases of the British variant of the virus in Taiwan, which are cases 791, 792, 793 and 799, of which 799 were severe and used a respirator.

Zhang Shangchun, the coordinator of the command center’s expert advisory group, said there have been 13 confirmed cases of British immigration since November last year, but most of them are mild cases. Only one case was seriously ill. The patient was in his 70s and was infected with the variant of the virus. There are many risk factors, such as old age, cardiovascular disease and obesity, that can be the cause of serious illness, but the patient is currently in a stable condition. Chen Shizhong also said that the severe illness in this case was not caused by infection with a variant of the virus, but by other risk factors.

Mutant virus epidemic has caused international panic The World Health Organization recently announced that there are 4 mutant viruses in the world, namely D614G, Cluster 5, B.1.1.7 and 501Y.V2. The Epidemic Central Command Center recently conducted a virus sequence analysis and quarantine on people with a British travel history since December 13. Commander Chen Shizhong announced that two other people infected with the virus variant, cases 793 and 799, will be quarantined. It was discovered during the period, so there is no need to worry too much.

Chen Shizhong said that as of December 23, the command center required all entries to the UK to be quarantined and pursued for 10 days – that is, people who had a travel history in the UK between the 13 and on December 22, they organized an inspection, and a total of 216 inspections were carried out. People, 3 of them, cases 787, 791, 799, plus one case (case 342) who entered the country for diagnosis on April 3 and returned abroad after recovering (case 342), 3 + 1 positive test, new confirmed coronary pneumonia, all have been to the hospital Also, there are 198 people testing negative for treatment and 7 are waiting to be picked up. In a test, 4 people in cases 791, 792, 793 and 799 are variants. It appears that the ones that need to be detected have been detected.

Is case 342 a second degree infection? Spokesperson Zhuang Renxiang explained that this case is old. He was diagnosed on April 3 of last year. He went to the UK in July and returned to Taiwan. He knew he had been diagnosed, so he had not been tested again. When the home quarantine period expired, the command center put it back on the list instead of re-inspecting it for the infection. Zhang Shangchun said that the yin and yang of the case takes a long time, two or three months are possible The March global pandemic has lasted more than half a year, and the number of repeated infections is in the single digits.

Regarding the cultivation of the virus, Chen Shizhong said that a total of 31 strains (Great Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Poland, Indonesia and the mainland) have been cultivated. Among them, 18 did not have mutations and 4 had mutations, namely cases 791, 792, 793 and 799. All were discovered during the centralized quarantine, so they were still safe. The other 3 strains had very low virus levels and 6 had to be cultured. The number of people infected with the mutant virus increased by 2 for a total of 4 people.
