1. When will the Shenzhen epidemic end in 2022?

This round of epidemic in Shenzhen is not expected to end until the end of March 2022. Because from February 3rd to the present, Shenzhen has reported local confirmed cases almost every few days, and the most new cases occurred during the period from February 27th to March 6th, with an average of dozens of new cases every day. However, if the epidemic in Shenzhen increases significantly every day in mid-March and has not yet been effectively controlled, the end time may be extended. The following is the latest information about the epidemic in Shenzhen:

1. The latest data on the Shenzhen epidemic:

As of 5:00 p.m. on March 9, 2022, there are 326 confirmed local cases in Shenzhen. From 0:00 to 24:00 on March 8, Shenzhen added 6 new confirmed cases, 5 of which were found during the screening of close contacts under quarantine and observation, and 1 was found during nucleic acid screening in key areas.

2. Medium and high-risk areas in Shenzhen:

There are no high-risk areas, only medium-risk areas, namely, Block B of Huarui Building, Guiyuan Street, Luohu District, Shenzhen (excluding the basement shops), and residential buildings on the 6th to 23rd floors of Xianggui Building, Xiangxi Garden, No. 2026-6, Chunfeng Road, Nanhu Street; Building 18, Airongyuan, Zhaoshang Street, Nanshan District, and No. 15, Leigongling Village, Shekou Street; No. 3, Road 6, Shapu Yangyong Industrial Zone, Songgang Street, Bao'an District, and No. 234, Luotian North District, Yanluo Street.

2. Why is the epidemic in Shenzhen so serious in 2022?

1. Reason 1 for the serious epidemic in Shenzhen: The global epidemic is still in the pandemic stage

The recent epidemic in Hong Kong has also caused concern. As a port city, Shenzhen must not only ensure the supply of daily necessities to Hong Kong, but also do a good job in its own epidemic prevention and control in an open environment. The pressure to prevent external imports is enormous, and the risk of sporadic epidemics remains high.

2. The second reason for the serious epidemic in Shenzhen: This round of epidemic in Shenzhen was caused by Omicron

According to genetic testing, this round of epidemic in Shenzhen was caused by the BA.2 variant of the Omicron virus, which is more contagious. The sub-variant is 30% more contagious than the original Omicron strain, which puts higher demands on our prevention and control work.

3. The latest standards for lifting the lockdown in Shenzhen in 2022

On the morning of March 8, Shenzhen held a press conference on the epidemic. It was announced at the meeting for the first time that the following three conditions must be met simultaneously for the lockdown and control areas to be lifted.

1. Condition 1 for lifting the lockdown in Shenzhen: No new cases or asymptomatic infections in the area in the past 14 days.

2. The second condition for lifting the lockdown in Shenzhen: The last close contact in the area has been exposed for more than 14 days, or has been transferred to centralized isolation for more than 4 days and the nucleic acid test result is negative.

3. The third condition for lifting the lockdown in Shenzhen: All personnel in the area must complete a round of nucleic acid screening two days before the lifting of the lockdown, and all results must be negative.

After all the blockade areas and control areas are lifted, the management measures in the corresponding prevention areas will also be lifted simultaneously.

In general, the 2022 Shenzhen epidemic is expected to end by the end of March. The reason why this epidemic is so serious is that the global epidemic is in an epidemic stage and the patients are infected with the Omicron virus.
