Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, January 17 (Reporter Geng Pengyu) Russia’s “Vector” National Science Center for Virology and Biotechnology announced on the 17th that the mutant new coronavirus Omicron strain has the shortest survival time on ceramic surfaces, and the virus is infectious It disappeared within 24 hours.

To assess the infectivity of the Omicron strain, the agency’s researchers conducted experiments on metal, plastic, ceramic plates, and distilled water under the same relative air humidity (30 to 40 percent) and temperature (26 to 28 degrees Celsius). A comparison experiment was performed on the viability of the Omicron strains. The results showed that the Ormicron strain lost its activity the fastest on the ceramic surface and was undetectable in less than 24 hours.

The agency said that the dynamic changes in the activity of the Omicron strain were generally not different from other mutant new coronavirus strains previously discovered, so the use of disinfectants is still an effective way to prevent infection.

According to the Russian TASS news agency, from January 10th to 16th, more than 150,000 new confirmed cases of new crown were reported in Russia, an increase of 35.3% over the previous week. The new cases were mainly concentrated in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Moscow Oblast. The Russian government believes that the sharp increase in the number of newly confirmed cases is mainly related to the spread of the Omicron strain.
