Middle disease control: healthy adults have a lower chance of reinfection within 3 to 6 months after being infected with COVID-19.

The State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference today. Responsible comrades of relevant departments and bureaus of the State Administration of Control and Chinese experts of disease control attended the press conference to introduce the 10th edition of the prevention and control plan. The public is worried that if the XBB strain begins to spread in China, will it lead to the second round of novel coronavirus infection? Chen Cao, a researcher at the Institute of viral Diseases of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention: recent studies have shown that, especially in the United States, the proportion of people infected with COVID-19 is also very high. From the recent data of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, the number of novel coronavirus infection, the number of severe cases, including the number of deaths, did not show a significant increase. The reinfection rate of XBB, including XBB.1.5, needs further dynamic observation. Everyone should not panic about novel coronavirus's variation. We must be responsible for our own health and do a good job in personal protection.

21st Century Economic Reporter:

The public is worried that if the XBB strain begins to spread in China, it will lead to a second round of novel coronavirus infection. Thank you.

Chen Cao, researcher, Institute of viral Diseases, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention:

Recently, XBB has attracted a lot of attention. Recent studies have shown that one of the evolutionary branches of XBB is XBB.1.5, which has a strong immune escape ability, especially in the United States, the proportion of COVID-19 infection is also very high. From the recent data of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, during the epidemic of XBB, the number of novel coronavirus infection, the number of severe cases, including the number of deaths, did not show a significant increase. Therefore, the reinfection rate of XBB, including XBB.1.5, needs further dynamic observation.

Here, I would also like to remind the general public that they should not panic or belittle novel coronavirus's variation. They must be responsible for their own health. First of all, they must wear masks, do a good job in personal protection, pay attention to hand hygiene, wash hands frequently, and live a regular life. At the same time, do not trust some unconfirmed network reports, and maintain a good personal mentality.

In fact, from the data we monitor and study, JianAfter being infected with novel coronavirus, healthy adults have a relatively low chance of reinfection within 3 to 6 months. What needs to be paid attention to is that some high-risk people at risk of reinfection, such as people over the age of 65, patients with underlying diseases, and people without a history of COVID-19 vaccination, can be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine six months after being infected with novel coronavirus.
