The infection rate of the Guangzhou population exceeds 85%

On January 18, Guangzhou City held a press conference on market supply and security work during the Spring Festival. Zhang Yi, deputy director and spokesperson of the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, reported that from the monitoring situation, the recent epidemic of new coronavirus infection in Guangzhou has entered the end of the epidemic, and the outpatient and emergency departments of medical institutions and fever clinics have basically returned to the normal level of diagnosis and treatment. More than 85%. The prevailing strain is still Omicron BA.5.2, and the XBB strain has not been detected in local infected persons. | Related reading (Global Times)

Since the epidemic was released at the beginning of last month, major cities have experienced a wave of infection. Now the wave of infection has almost passed, and several cities are reviewing the specific situation of this wave of infection. However, just like looking at the data of other cities, I am also a little suspicious when I see the data related to the epidemic in Guangzhou. After the cancellation of normal nucleic acid testing, there is no unified reporting system for infected people. The infection rate of the population exceeds 85%. Is it accurate? And, the same is true for the detection of popular virus strains. Is it regular sewage virus detection like Hong Kong? Or was it detected by other means? If the XBB strain was not detected, does it mean that it has not yet become popular in China? These are all questions to be answered.
