In the Quarantine Hotel, Hong Kong revealed two cases of infection with a dangerous strain of coronavirus infection (B.1.1.529), which, presumably, broke out of Africa. This is stated on the site of the local health department.
The type of infection “Purchased” to China along with people who were in the Quarantine Hotel Regal Airport in Hong Kong. They lived in the rooms opposite each other on the fifth floor: the first patient arrived in Hong Kong from South Africa. The second infected arrived at the hotel a day before his neighbor. Both have already been sent to the hospital.
According to the Department, on the same day, another 4 cases of infections in the TEMPORARY SPECIMEN Collection Center at the airport of Hong Kong were revealed.
12 people who stayed in the neighboring rooms, now there must be an additional mandatory two-week quarantine in the center of Penny’s Bay.
The new strain has become known after reports of infecting 10 people in South Africa, Botswana and Hong Kong on November 24. British scientists suggested that the new strain will better shy away from antibodies than delta option. Many mutations at B.1.1.529 makes it possible to assume that the virus originated in a patient with a weakened immunity – in a patient with HIV or AIDS. It is assumed that it can be the most dangerous option of infection.
