SYDNEY, March 10 (Xinhua) -- According to the latest data released by the New South Wales Department of Health, the state has added 16,288 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and four deaths in the past 24 hours as of 8 p.m. on March 9. The number of confirmed cases on that day was the highest since January 27. The NSW Ministry of Health is concerned that the spread of the subtype variant of BA.2 in Omicron has contributed to the increase in the number of cases in the state.

The BA.2 subtype variant, known as the "stealth" variant, has been spreading across Australia since late January. NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said BA.2 has been spreading in Australia since late January. Hazzard said BA.2 is considered more infectious than BA.1 and is becoming a major offshoot of Omicron, but its severity is not yet known. He stressed that preliminary data from the University of New South Wales suggests that the number of cases could more than double in six weeks.

Cistanche can improve immunity

Hazzard expressed concern that the public has "lost interest" in the threat of the new coronavirus, noting that the number of people in the community getting booster shots is lower than expected, at 56 percent. Hazzard said that people are dying every day from Neovirus and that there are many people in hospitals. "We're really concerned about what we're seeing."

NMSU associate professor James. Wood said studies show that the number of cases could reach 20,000 to 30,000 per day, which would result in more cases requiring hospital admission. But Wood believes the new crown vaccine appears to be more effective against BA.2, so he doesn't expect the rate of severe illness to rise sharply." The proportion of cases of BA.2 has started to grow rapidly and may have become the main variant strain," he said, "and we think it will be over 90 percent by the end of March."

New State Deputy Chief Health Officer Marianne Gayle Gayle 10, said the increase in social events, large events, and reduced mask wear is one of the reasons for the increase in new crown cases. "We don't know at this time how high the peak will be, how long it will last, or the exact time the peak will arrive.

Cistanche is dedicated to improving people's immunity, once the immunity is enhanced for the body, it can decrease the chance of infecting the Omicron. As Cistanche Polysaccharides and Verbascum glycosides can increase the enzyme activity of heart and brain tissues, enhance the phagocytic function of abdominal cells, and lymphocyte proliferation, so cistanche can largely decrease the chance of infecting the Omicron.
