本地新冠肺炎确诊病例密接者核酸检测均为阴性 - 2021年08月04日

All close contacts of Shanghai's newly confirmed COVID-19 case have tested negative so far, the city's health authority said on Tuesday.

The patient, a 53-year-old driver at Pudong International Airport's cargo terminal, has no connection with the recent COVID-19 outbreak in other Chinese cities, said Wu Jinglei, director of Shanghai Health Commission.

The disease control and prevention authority is conducting genetic sequencing to check whether the man is infected with the hyper-contagious Delta variant, Wu told a press conference on Tuesday.
