　　On 13th, 249 new cases were confirmed in mainland China, coming from 17 provinces. The top five are: 56 cases in Inner Mongolia, 53 cases in Guangdong, 28 cases in Xinjiang, 19 cases in Liaoning and 16 cases in Beijing; On that day, there were 1010 new cases of asymptomatic local infections from 25 provinces. The top five are: 302 cases in Xinjiang, 181 cases in Inner Mongolia, 53 cases in Shanxi, 51 cases in Heilongjiang and 50 cases in Yunnan.

　　There are more than 5,000 local infected people in Inner Mongolia, and many infected people in Guangzhou were found in community screening.

　　On the 13th in Inner Mongolia, 56 new cases were diagnosed locally and 181 cases were asymptomatic, and the number of local infections decreased for three consecutive days. On the same day, there were 35 newly diagnosed cases and 89 asymptomatic infected cases in Hohhot. As of 24: 00 on the 13th, there were 5041 cases of local infection in Inner Mongolia (974 cases were diagnosed and 4067 cases were asymptomatic), including 4351 cases in Hohhot.

　　The epidemic in Hohhot started on September 28th, and the virus belongs to the evolutionary branch of Omicron BF.7 mutant. According to Hohhot, on October 14th, the city adjusted the epidemic risk level in some areas again. At present, there are 456 high-risk areas and 168 medium-risk areas in this city.

　　On the 13th, 53 new cases were confirmed in Guangdong province and 21 cases were asymptomatic, mainly from Guangzhou (25+3) and Shenzhen (21+11). As of 24: 00 on the 13th, there are 440 confirmed cases and 203 asymptomatic cases in Guangdong province.

　　According to the report, in addition to the 12 cases transferred from asymptomatic people to confirmed cases, among the 16 new cases of local infection in Guangzhou on the 13th, 4 cases were isolated control personnel, 10 cases were found in community normalized nucleic acid screening, and 2 cases were found in the investigation of medical personnel, suggesting that the epidemic situation has a greater risk of social transmission. On the 13th, there were 32 new cases of local infection in Shenzhen, all of which were found among people in centralized isolation and home isolation, and there was no social increase.

　　Beijing officials said that the city will further strengthen the prevention and control of social epidemics, especially in key units and industries such as construction sites, supermarkets, entertainment and fitness institutions, and catering institutions. It is necessary to establish staff ledgers and strengthen epidemic prevention measures such as nucleic acid testing and health monitoring; It is necessary to do a good job in environmental epidemic prevention management and strengthen the cleaning and disinfection of key places and public goods; Key personnel such as security, express delivery, logistics, catering, cleaning, property management, etc. should carry out nucleic acid detection according to the prescribed frequency, do a good job in personal protection, and strictly implement various epidemic prevention regulations.

　　There were 49 new cases of local infection in Shanghai on the 13th, of which 47 cases were found in isolation control and 2 cases were from normalized nucleic acid screening. From July 3rd to October 13th, Shanghai reported a total of 194 confirmed cases and 1028 asymptomatic infected cases.

　　According to Shanghai’s notification, on the 14th, there were one newly diagnosed and one asymptomatic infected person in Shanghai, both of whom had recently returned to Shanghai from other provinces, and were found in the normalized nucleic acid detection. Recently, most of the sources of infection in Shanghai epidemic are imported from other provinces, involving multiple transmission chains. At present, the social risks of the epidemic in the city still exist.

　　Four Omicron variants were found in Chongqing, and the Suihua epidemic situation in Heilongjiang is still developing.

　　The Chongqing Municipal Health and Health Commission said on the 14th that there were 11 newly diagnosed cases and 13 asymptomatic infected cases in the city on the 13th, and 191 newly infected cases in the past week. Among them, 41 cases were people from outside Chongqing who returned to Chongqing and closed-loop control, and the risk of social communication was low. However, the infected people in many epidemics have social activity tracks before being isolated, and the possibility of recurring cases is not ruled out. Among them, the "October 8" epidemic in Yubei (Joy City) has reported 91 cases of infected people (including 37 Joy City staff), involving 11 districts, and the risk of social transmission is high.

　　It is reported that Chongqing CDC has sequenced 28 viral genes of infected people since October 8th, and found four branches of Omicron mutant strains: BA.5.2, BF.7, BA.2.75 and ba.2.76.. In recent days, the number of newly infected people in this city has shown a downward trend, mainly from the control population. The rapid rise of the epidemic has been effectively curbed, but the risk of hidden spread of the epidemic still exists.
