在相距1600公里的两个污水处理厂检测到COVID-19病毒碎片后,昆州卫生官员周一(3月15日)已经向113个郊区发出了紧急警报。
据信使邮报报导,昆州当局在Luggage Point(布里斯本市中心)和Cairns北部地区的两处污水处理厂中发现了病毒碎片,前者为整个布里斯本市议会地区提供服务。
昆州首席卫生官Jeannette Young敦促居住在受影响113个郊区的所有民众,如果出现症状请尽快接受Covid-19病毒检测。她表示,由于受到海外变种病毒的威胁,昆州需要保持警惕。
Young指出,“相关症状包括发烧、咳嗽、喉咙痛、流鼻涕、疲劳、腹泻、恶心或呕吐,以及失去味觉或嗅觉。出现症状的民众马上站出来接受病毒检测是非常重要的,我们不能掉以轻心,我们仍然处于这种大流行之中。”
Young说,“我们必须通过检测系统尽快发现我们可能不知道的任何病例,以遏制任何潜在传播的可能性。我们关注海外出现的新变种毒株,这些变种比我们在昆州发现的病毒更具传染性。”
Young还表示,“这次在污水处理厂发现的病毒碎片可能与之前的COVID-19确诊病例有关,这些确诊患者虽然不再具有传染性,但仍会在之后的几个月里脱落病毒碎片。 ”
此前,Marlin Coast、布里斯本南部Fairfield和Mackay南部的污水处理厂中也发现了COVID-19病毒碎片,这3家污水处理厂覆盖了33个区。
