Will I get the “Guangzhou strain” if I’ve been infected with the “Beijing strain”? Experts say: the risk is relatively low
Read Time:44 Second
Recently, the “Beijing strain” and “Guangzhou strain” have been compared from time to time, so if people who have been “Yang Kang” in Beijing go to the south, will they be infected with the local strain? The risk of infection is relatively low,” said Zhang Detao, director of the Institute of Infectious Disease and Endemic Disease Control at the Beijing CDC. “Although the strains prevalent throughout the country are not identical, the strains prevalent throughout China are still mainly BA.5.2 and BF.7, both of which are subbranches of Omicron BA.5. From the current point of view, the higher level of antibodies produced by infection with BF.7 has a certain cross-protective effect on BA.5.2 variant strains. Therefore, the risk of re-infection with BA.5.2 is relatively low after a recent infection with the BF.7 variant. “
