The Delta variant was confirmed after the Shandong Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted whole-genome sequencing analysis on the samples of an imported asymptomatic carrier in Shandong.
The asymptomatic carrier has been under closed-loop management since entering China from South Korea on July 16. The patient is being observed at a designated hospital.
