?Why is the epidemic in Hohhot growing rapidly?

On February 19, the Hohhot City New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters held a press conference and stated that after analysis, the current epidemic in Hohhot City was proactively screened by personnel at a garbage transfer station in Xincheng District. It was found that after in-depth epidemiological investigation, it was initially determined that the imported epidemic was caused by Liang Moumou and Dong Moumou visiting relatives in Wuchuan County, Hohhot City and Damao Banner, Baotou City. Two wedding banquets (***23 tables, 165 people) caused the spread of the epidemic.

?“The reason why there were so many confirmed cases in a short period of time during the Hohhot epidemic was mainly because there was a wedding banquet in the early stages of the epidemic. There were many people in such an occasion and protective measures were generally not in place. Moreover, cases were only discovered nearly 10 days after the wedding banquet was held, and some areas that thought they had no new cases were still slack on the epidemic," an infectious disease expert from a tertiary hospital in Beijing told reporters.
