2024-08-06 09:45
August is the hottest month in Nanjing, with high temperatures and humidity reaching their peak, which not only provides favorable conditions for bacterial reproduction, but also requires vigilance against heatstroke, a killer of high temperatures. In addition, during the summer vacation, people move frequently, and the risk of infectious diseases also increases. Nanjing CDC reminds all citizens to pay special attention to the following diseases this month: COVID-19, dengue fever, intestinal infectious diseases, schistosomiasis, and heatstroke.
COVID-19 infection
COVID-19 is a respiratory infectious disease that has become widespread. Seasonal fluctuations in the epidemic and continuous mutation of the virus are commonalities between COVID-19 and other viral respiratory infectious diseases.
Monitoring data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the detection rate of the new coronavirus in my country increased slightly in June. The number of clinical symptoms related to the new coronavirus may increase in the near future. The new coronavirus currently prevalent in my country mainly includes JN.1 and XDV variants, and their transmission, pathogenicity and immune escape abilities have not changed significantly.
