          ‘Striking’ coronavirus mutations found within one family cluster, Chinese scientists say

          11:30pm, 3 Feb, 2020

          While the effects of the mutations on the virus are not known, they do have the potential to alter the way the virus behaves.

          Researchers studying a cluster of infections within a family in the southern province of Guangdong said the genes of the virus went through some significant changes as it spread within the family.

          Viruses mutate all the time, but most changes are synonymous or “silent”, having little effect on the way the virus behaves. Others, known as nonsynonymous substitutions, can alter biological traits, allowing them to adapt to different environments.

          Two nonsynonymous changes took place in the viral strains isolated from the family, according to new study by professor Cui Jie and colleagues from the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai...
          ..
          It is not clear yet what the mutations mean for patients. Qiu Haibo, a member of the national expert panel advising the government on the fight against the virus, said on Sunday that so far there was no evidence that mutations could cause “repeated infections”....

                  To fight coronavirus spread, the U.S. may expand ‘social distancing’ measures. But it comes at a cost
                  By Shraddha Chakradhar @scchak
                  February 3, 2020

                  Canceling large public gatherings. Asking students to stay home from school. Closing down borders.

                  Many places around the world have already implemented such drastic steps in response to the new coronavirus outbreak that originated in China and has spread to at least 27 territories outside mainland China. If the U.S., which has 11 cases so far, begins to see sustained human-to-human transmission, health officials may also have to rapidly step up their own use of “social distancing” measures to prevent further spread...

                        2020-02-04 00:55:33 Beijing Youth Daily

                        Beijing reports 41 cluster cases

                        无 There is no contact history of Hubei within 14 days before arriving in Beijing. No 14-day supervised medical observation is required.

                        Yesterday, a press conference on the prevention and control of pneumonia in a new coronavirus infection in Beijing was held. Relevant persons in charge of Beijing Municipal Health and Health Committee, Municipal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Chaoyang District, Haidian District, and Xicheng District responded to hot issues. Chen Bei, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, said that for those who have no contact history in Hubei within 14 days before Beijing, they do not need to conduct 14-day supervised medical observation on the premise of ensuring that their own body temperature is normal and that they have cohabitation history After the daily temperature measurement is normal, normal work can be performed.

                        At the press conference, Chen Bei responded to the question of how to resume work by the public, according to the relevant regulations of Beijing, the return of returnees to Beijing is divided into two categories-one is to leave Hubei within 14 days or People from Beijing who have a history of close contact with Hubei personnel. After such personnel arrive in Beijing, they should conduct supervised medical observation for 14 days under the guidance of the community. During this period, you cannot work temporarily, and you can also work through the Internet. At the end of the observation period, relevant personnel can resume normal work.

                        The second is that within 14 days before arriving in Beijing, people from non-Hubei areas who have no contact history with Hubei people. They do not need to conduct 14-day supervision on the premise of ensuring that their body temperature is normal and the health of their families and co-residents. Sexual Medicine Observation. Chen Bei emphasized that such personnel can go to work under normal daily morning and evening temperature measurements. After arriving at work, you must also strengthen your own protection. Work units also need to provide well-ventilated and health-protected working conditions to "do both production and epidemic prevention." At the same time, Chen Bei said that returnees should use remote office work as far as possible to prevent and control their work. If you do not have the conditions to work remotely, you should work as flexibly as possible to reduce the density of people and better block the spread of the epidemic. Employers should come up with detailed plans to minimize centralized office situations. While enterprises understand the workplace environment, they also need to understand the collective dormitory and living conditions of employees.
