Where is the source of the 2022 epidemic? In which town is it located? Attached is the latest news on the epidemic

Recently, according to the new local confirmed cases reported by Guangdong Province, they are mainly distributed in Shenzhen and Dongguan. In mid-December last year, Dongguan also had a local epidemic, but it was obviously from a different source this time. So where is the source of the 2022 Dongguan epidemic? In which town is it located? The latest news on the epidemic is as follows:

1. Where is the source of the 2022 Dongguan epidemic?

The source of the local epidemic in Dalang Town, Dongguan (the first case reported on February 24) is the Omicron variant, but whether it was caused from abroad or imported from domestic and foreign provinces will have to wait for further official epidemiological investigation to know. According to the judgment of provincial and municipal experts, the epidemic situation in Dalang is complex and severe, mainly due to the following two reasons:

1. First, the current round of domestic epidemic is complicated

Recently, many places in Inner Mongolia, Liaoning Province, Hubei Province, Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province, Jiangsu Province, and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have reported local confirmed cases, and the epidemic situation in cities around Dongguan is complicated. As a major manufacturing city, Dongguan has close foreign economic and trade exchanges and frequent personnel flows. It is currently the peak period for the return of personnel after the holidays and the resumption of work and production. The flow of people coming to and returning to Dongguan is large, making it difficult to control, making it difficult to identify the source of the epidemic.

2. The virus is highly hidden

The local epidemic reported in Dalang Town, Dongguan, belongs to the Omicron variant of the new coronavirus (BA.2 evolutionary branch) based on whole genome sequencing, which has strong transmission and concealment capabilities. The difficulty of investigating the source of the epidemic is also increasing, but the local government will immediately take necessary measures to control the epidemic as soon as possible.

2. In which town is the 2022 Dongguan epidemic distributed?

This round of local epidemic in Dongguan is mainly distributed in Dalang Town, among which Yangyong Village has a large number of confirmed cases. Yangyong Village was formed by the merger of two natural villages, Yangmeiling and Zhenggongyong. It is adjacent to Shixia Village in the east, Xinmalian Village in the south, and Caibian Village in the west. It currently has 371 registered households and a population of 1,319.
