During the second and third levels of alert, the epidemic could be brought down. However, more than 35% of the people in the country have been infected, and the actual number may even be higher. Coupled with the protection of the vaccine coverage rate, the epidemic is still stable.

Zhuang Renxiang explained that the "low community epidemic period" will last for a period of time until a new mutant strain rises to a certain extent and becomes the mainstream, and then picks up and develops a new wave of epidemics. It is just who the next mainstream strain is and when it will be. To be further observed.
