New Chinese Coronavirus Outbreak Shows Signs Pathogen May Be Changing

A new batch of [/news/coronavirus/index.html coronavirus] patients in [/news/china/index.html China] are reacting differently to the coronavirus - suggesting that the pathogen may be changing. Patients in Jilin and Heilongjiang have been carrying the virus for longer and taking more time to recover than their predecessors in Wuhan, a leading doctor said. Qiu Haibo, who is part of a National Health Commission expert group, said the new patients were rarely showing signs of fever and were suffering damage to their lungs rather than to multiple organs. China has discovered a new [http://www.reddit.com/r/howto/search?q=cluster cluster] of virus cases in the two north-eastern provinces in recent weeks, [http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/raising raising] fears of a second wave. Health workers in the province of Heilongjiang, where China has found a new cluster of virus cases, spray disinfectant over a market earlier this month Speaking to state-run broadcaster CCTV, Haibo said the incubation period of patients in the north-east was longer than that of virus sufferers in Wuhan. The incubation period is the time it takes for the first symptoms to appear after someone is infected with the virus. Haibo, an expert in critical care medicine, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html tour du lịch quế lâm] said that the longer incubation period 'causes a problem' because there is more time for people to pass on the virus. 'When they gather with their families they don't care about this issue and we see family cluster infections,' the medic said. Patients in the north-east also rarely exhibited fever and tended to suffer damage to the lungs rather than across multiple organs, he said. The doctor said the virus found in Jilin and Heilongjiang was probably imported from abroad, which could explain the different symptoms. He did not say where he thought they might have come from but both Jilin and Heilongjiang border Russia. Researchers in the United States have found as many as 14 mutations in the crown-like spikes which give the coronavirus its name.

Another study by scientists at Britain's Glasgow University looked at mutations but found they were not a sign of different virus strains. Jonathan Stoye, head of virology at Britain's Francis Crick Institute, has warned that the virus is a 'moving target'. 'The virus is evolving and is changing. And we don't yet know what the consequences of those changes are,' he said. China reported five new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, down from six a day earlier. Four of the new cases were local transmissions and one was imported by a traveller coming from abroad, the health commission said in a statement. 'The epidemic situation is now fragmented domestically, but the task of preventing a rebound of the epidemic remains arduous,' said Zeng Yixin, a vice minister at the NHC, told a news conference on Friday. A health worker in protective gear takes a swab sample from a man in Heilongjiang, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] where patients are apparently responding differently from their predecessors in Wuhan Beijing's official figures have shown only a trickle of new cases since the initial wave of infections in Wuhan, with a total of 82,965 infections and 4,634 deaths. However, there has been widespread scepticism about the accuracy of the regime's figures. China has also lobbied against an immediate inquiry into the virus, theorigins of which are still not fully clear. Many of the earliest cases were linked to a wild animal market in Wuhan, but it is not yet known how the disease passed to humans. Scientists suspect the virus may have originated in bats, possibly passing to humans via a third species such as pangolins. The first case outside China was not officially confirmed until mid-January when Thailand registered its first virus patient. However, France says it has subsequently found a positive test from December, suggesting the virus was already spreading then. The World Health Organization said the French case was 'not surprising' and urged countries to investigate any other early suspicious cases.

No New COVID Sufferers 300 Asymptomatic After Wuhan-wide Tests

BEIJING, June 2 (Reuters) - The Chinese city of Wuhan, where the novel coronavirus outbreak began, has found no new cases of people suffering from COVID-19 after [http://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=testing testing] almost its entire population, and 300 asymptomatic carriers of the virus, officials said on Tuesday. Authorities launched the vast testing campaign on May 14, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html Tour Quế Lâm] and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] reached 9.9 million out of 11 million people, after a cluster of new cases raised fears of a second wave of infections. China does not count people who are infected with the virus but do not show symptoms of the disease as confirmed cases. Officials told reporters in a briefing that there had been no new confirmed cases, and said the asymptomatic carriers had been found not to be infectious; masks, toothbrushes, phones, door handles and elevator buttons that they touched had no traces of virus. The central city, capital of Hubei province, was placed under a lockdown on Jan. 23. It was lifted on April 8. Wuhan was the hardest hit Chinese city and accounts for the majority of the 4,634 deaths and 83,022 infections reported in mainland China. The cost of the city-wide testing effort was about 900 million yuan ($126 million). The northeastern city of Mudanjiang in Heilongjiang province will also launch city-wide virus testing, the local government said on its website, after finding over a dozen asymptomatic cases.
