天津又增20例！中国首次正面迎战奥密克戎

North China's Tianjin municipality reported 20 new domestically transmitted COVID-19 cases from 9 pm Saturday to 9 pm Sunday, local authorities said Sunday.

Two of the 20 cases were identified as asymptomatic cases, said the municipal headquarters for COVID-19 prevention and control. All patients were transferred to municipal hospitals for further diagnosis and treatment.

1月8日24时，天津市疾病预防控制中心完成天津市新增2例本土病例新冠病毒全基因组测序。经分析比对，并经中国疾控中心确认，2例本土病例新冠病毒均属于VOC/Omicron变异株（BA.1进化分支），属于同一传播链，与天津市已发现的境外输入病例奥密克戎变异株序列均不能确认为同一传播链。

The first two cases, a 10-year-old student and a 29-year-old employee at an after-school tutoring center, were identified on Saturday morning. Genome sequencing showed that they have contracted the highly transmissible Omicron variant, according to the city's disease control leading task force.

中国工程院院士张伯礼表示，此次天津疫情是奥密克戎变异株首次在我国本土社区传播，该病毒确实传染性很强，但症状并不明显，隐匿性也强，更容易多点散发或集中暴发。同时，此次天津疫情也表现为中小学生等低龄感染群体比例较高，这也是奥密克戎变异株表现出的新特点，值得我们高度警惕和应对。

天津市通报，截至1月8日21时，在密切接触者中检出18例新冠病毒感染者，目前均已转运至定点医院实施隔离救治。感染者主要涉及病例所在托管机构、学校学生及家长。天津市疾控中心副主任张颖表示，这起疫情有可能在社区里已持续传播一段时间，不排除会在封控区、管控区、防范区之外出现其他的感染者。

Zhang Ying, deputy director of the city's disease control and prevention center, said at a news briefing on Saturday that the virus had spread in Tianjin through three contacts. "Transmission in communities has likely existed for some time and more positive cases might emerge," Zhang said.

天津市疫情防控指挥部就全面加强离津管理发布通告：严格落实离津管理。广大市民群众非必要不离津，确需离津的，自1月9日24时起，须持有48小时内核酸检测阴性证明和健康码绿码。

Residents in Tianjin are asked not to leave the city unless necessary. People who have to leave the city must hold negative nucleic acid test certificate and green health code within 48 hours. The regulation will take effect from the end of Sunday.

Citizens with fever are not allowed to leave Tianjin or enter Beijing, the Chinese capital neighboring virus-hit Tianjin, until the risk of infection has been ruled out.
