On May 21 this year, there was a case of local transmission of the delta variant of the new crown virus in Guangzhou.
For the first time, the Guangzhou laboratory summarized the infection characteristics, transmission laws, and clinical characteristics of Delta virus, providing an important reference for the prevention and control of the virus and policy formulation; the concept of "close connection" and the "yellow code" system have been updated in our community prevention and control strategies , To carry out precise tracking more accurately, and provide a reference for other cities in China and even the global screening

Respect science, respect the law
Respect science, respect the law Recently, the research team led by Zhong Nanshan has made new results: by comparing patients with domestic vaccines and non-vaccinated patients, it is found that the domestic inactivated vaccine has a protective effect on the Delta strain, and the overall protection rate is close to 60%, which is against moderate symptoms.
The results of this research strengthened people's confidence in domestically-made inactivated vaccines and conveyed a firm belief in fighting the epidemic
In 2003, during the fight against SARS, Zhong Nanshan and his research team worked day and night, and finally worked out a set of effective treatment methods in a short period of time, which contributed to reducing the mortality rate and improving the cure rate
Today, in the face of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and constantly mutating strains, Zhong Nanshan still insists on using the power of science and technology to treat diseases and save people
During the epidemic prevention and control period, he and his team led the development of 41 new coronary pneumonia emergency clinical trial projects, and published more than 50 SCI articles in internationally renowned academic journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, and took the lead in completing 3 new coronary pneumonia-related disease guidelines, 2 related works
