At the same time, there were more than 400 new confirmed cases in Turkey on the 7th, an increase of 166.9% from September 30.
During the National Day, the epidemic situation intensified in many places
From October 1st to 24:00 on October 7th, the total number of new infections in the country was 7,468.
Except Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the remaining 31 provinces and cities had new infections during the National Day.
2 The cumulative number of new infections within a week was less than 10, with 7 new cases in Jiangxi and 1 new case in Qinghai. The number of new infections in
15 is all within 100. The number of new infections in the Yangtze River Delta region increased compared with last week.

The number of infections in Hohhot increased suddenly
On October 6, the number of new infections in Inner Mongolia exceeded 600 in a single day. Judging from the growth trend of new positive infections, the epidemic in Inner Mongolia is on the rise.
This round of epidemic in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region mainly occurred in Hohhot City. As of 18:00 on the 8th, there were 395 high-risk areas in Inner Mongolia, 354 of which were in Hohhot.
According to the Hohhot Municipal Health Commission, the epidemic is fierce and has obvious characteristics of rapid and covert transmission. New cases have increased rapidly in a short period of time, making the epidemic prevention and control situation severe and complex.
According to genetic sequence testing, the infection strain of the first confirmed case of this epidemic in Hohhot City belongs to the BF.7 evolutionary branch of the new coronavirus Omikron variant strain.
According to the official WeChat account of Hohhot Bus , starting from October 5, all buses in Hohhot will be temporarily suspended.
The epidemic situation has rebounded in Xinjiang
Judging from the number of new infections in a single day, The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has recently experienced a rebound of the epidemic situation.
html On September 26, the number of new infections in a single day in Xinjiang had dropped to 8, but since then the number of new infections in a single day has increased again. On October 7, the number of new infections in Xinjiang was 348, close to the peak on August 23.According to reports from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, nucleic acid detection has become the biggest shortcoming in prevention and control work. First, the processing speed of positive infected persons cannot keep up with the spread of the epidemic. Second, a considerable number of nucleic acid sampling personnel in some places are non-professionals. Third, some nucleic acid sampling personnel were infected due to improper protection.
This round of epidemic in Xinjiang has also seen spillover into many provinces. At present, Xinjiang insists on "no leaving Xinjiang unless necessary", reduces the flow of people, and comprehensively investigates spillover risks.
8 The number of new infections increased slightly
In addition to the above two places, the number of infections in 8 other places is also on the rise.
On October 7, there were 23 new infections in Shanghai in a single day, an increase of 10 cases compared with the peak in September.
Most of the current epidemic in Shanghai is related to the spillover of epidemics from other provinces . The investigation of related risk places and risk personnel involves 16 districts in the city, including students and teachers from some universities.
On October 7, the number of new infections in Shanxi Province was 62 in a single day, an increase of 49 cases compared with the peak in September. The current epidemic in Shanxi Province involves cases related to Xinjiang, and two primary school students were infected at the same time.
The newly infected people in Hubei Province are all closed-loop control personnel who returned from outside the province. On October 7, the number of new infections in Hubei Province in a single day was 108, an increase of 63 cases compared with the peak in September.
On October 7, there were 52 new infections in Gansu Province in a single day, all of which were discovered during control testing and key population testing.
Since October 1, there have been a total of 161 local infections in Chongqing. According to the Chongqing Municipal Health Commission, so far, Chongqing has dealt with 39 epidemic cases during the National Day holiday, all of which were imported cases from outside the city.
On October 6, there were 50 new infections in Shaanxi Province in a single day. Most of the patients involved in this round of epidemic were imported from outside the province.
This round of Sichuan Province involves imported epidemics from outside the province. On October 6, there were more than 90 new infections in Sichuan Province in a single day.
During the National Day, epidemics occurred in many places in Guangdong Province. In addition to imported epidemics, a case of accidental exposure of personnel in high-risk positions occurred in Guangzhou. Experts determined that the epidemic was caused by accidental exposure of personnel in high-risk positions engaged in ship production operations.
According to the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission , as of the 7th, the city has reported a total of 69 infected people in this epidemic, which are highly clustered and are all in the same transmission chain, and have not caused social spread.
Overall, population movements during the National Day holiday have led to an increase in the number of infections in many places. The increase in new infections in many places is due to imports from outside the province, and most of them were found among centralized control personnel.
However, the subsequent development of Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places is uncertain. The situation of epidemic prevention and control in my country remains severe and complex, with frequent clusters and related epidemics occurring in many places in the country. Citizens and friends still need to take precautions when going out and reduce travel across provinces and cities.
