People cross a road amid the Covid-19 outbreak, in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, on Dec 31, 2022.HONG KONG – The world should "calm down" about the possibility of new Covid-19 variants circulating in China, leading Chinese scientist George Gao said.
"The world should completely calm down from the fear that there are new variants or special variants circulating ," Gao, professor at the Institute of Microbiology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and former head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention , told Reuters. The study analysed 413 new Covid cases in Beijing from Nov 14 to Dec 20, 2022 and found all were likely caused by existing strains. It found that 90 per cent of the majority-locally acquired infections were due to the above two sub-variants.
Many countries put in place Covid testing requirements for Chinese travellers in the wake of its large outbreak, citing concerns that new variants could emerge and a lack of data, thoughGao said China was continuing widespread viral genomic sequencing, and would identify any new variants if they emerged.
