COVID Delta variant to dominate within months 德尔塔将成全球主要流行毒株



COVID Delta variant to dominate within months



The highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19 is expected to become the dominant strain of the virus over the coming months, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.

Delta, which was first detected in India, has now been recorded in 124 territories – 13 more than last week – and already accounts for more than three-quarters of sequenced specimens in many major countries, the WHO said.


"It is expected that it will rapidly out-compete other variants and become the dominant circulating lineage over the coming months," the UN health agency said in its weekly epidemiological update.

Of the three other coronavirus variants of concern (VOCs), Alpha, first detected in Britain, has been reported in 180 territories (up six from last week), Beta, first detected in South Africa, in 130 (up seven) and Gamma, first detected in Brazil, in 78 (up three).


According to SARS-CoV-2 sequences submitted to the GISAID global science initiative over the four weeks to July 20, the prevalence of Delta exceeded 75 percent in several countries.

Those included Australia, Bangladesh, Botswana, Britain, China, Denmark, India, Indonesia, Israel, Portugal, Russia, Singapore and South Africa.


"Growing evidence supports the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant as compared to non-VOCs. However, the exact mechanism for the increase in transmissibility remains unclear," said the WHO.


德尔塔将成全球主要流行毒株

世卫组织网站最新数据显示,截至欧洲中部时间20日18时42分(北京时间21日零时42分),全球确诊病例较前一日增加390026例,达到190671330例;死亡病例增加6424例,达到4098758例。

世界卫生组织20日发布的全球疫情周报分析显示,鉴于新冠变异病毒德尔塔毒株在传播方面的优势,预计这一毒株将很快超过其他变异毒株,在未来数月成为全球主要流行毒株。

China to Back Shanghai’s Trial of Free Use of Yuan



China's central bank will support Shanghai to pilot the free exchange of renminbi and explore the free flow of capital to facilitate cross-border trade and investment, an official said on Tuesday at a press conference introducing Shanghai's further opening-up.

The People's Bank of China will back up Shanghai's trial in the free use of RMB, further facilitate the free flow of enterprises' trade and investment funds, and explore the free flow and free convertibility of capital in its Lingang Special Area, said Wang Xin, director-general of the PBOC's Research Bureau.


Wang noted that the free convertibility of RMB and the free flow of capital should meet anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and anti-tax evasion regulatory requirements.

The RMB is convertible for trade purposes under the current account, but it is not freely convertible under the capital account, which covers portfolio investment and borrowing.


Some say the financial hub Shanghai, especially, should do more in this respect. The move will be conducive to foreign investors who have a growing willingness to hold RMB financial assets, as Shanghai is becoming a center for RMB assets allocation, pricing and risk management.

央行:支持上海在人民币可自由使用方面先行先试

央行研究局局长王信表示,下一步,人民银行将一如既往支持上海国际金融中心建设,支持上海进一步完善金融市场体系、产品体系、机构体系和金融基础设施体系,强化全球金融资源的配置功能。同时,支持上海在人民币可自由使用方面先行先试,在符合反洗钱、反恐怖融资、反逃税和展业三原则的要求下,进一步便利企业贸易投资资金的进出,探索临港新片区内资本自由流入流出和自由兑换,助力上海成为新发展格局下联通国际市场和国内市场的重要枢纽和桥梁。
