一 | The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that the new BA.2.75 sub-lineage of the Omicron variant of COVID has been detected in India.,"In Europe and America, BA.4 and BA.5 are driving waves. In countries like India, a new sub-lineage of BA.2.75 has also been detected, which we're following," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press briefing on Wednesday.,He said that new COVID cases reported worldwide have spiked by nearly 30 percent.,Experts say the BA.2.75 variant includes new mutations in the spike protein, in addition to mutations that are already present in the Omicron variant.,This allows it to evade several antibodies and can infect people who have been vaccinated or infected previously. The detection of BA.2.75 has led scientists across the globe to dive deep into the research to learn more about the new variant and the possibility of another COVID wave.,In India, the BA.5 sub-variant has been detected in the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Telangana, Delhi, Haryana, Gujarat, and the Ladakh union territory as well.,WHO Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan said in a video posted on Twitter that there has been an emergence of a sub-variant called the BA.2.75, "first reported from India and then from about 10 other countries.",Swaminathan said there are still limited sequences available of the sub-variant to analyze, "but this sub-variant seems to have a few mutations on the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein. So obviously, that's a key part of the virus that attaches itself to the human receptor.","So we have to watch that. It's still too early to know if this sub-variant has properties of additional immune evasion or indeed of being more clinically severe. We don't know that," she added.,Last week, Dr. Shay Fleishon, an Israeli scientist, claimed that a new coronavirus variant had hit 10 Indian states and sparked concerns of a fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.,The current daily positive test rate is, however, is around 4.32 percent, down from around 16-17 percent in January 2022, the peak of the first Omicron wave.。 8月26日，国新办举行“开局起步‘十五五’”系列主题新闻发布会，工业和信息化部相关负责人介绍全力抓好“十五五”规划实施、加快推进新型工业化有关情况。 发布会上介绍，“十四五”期间，我国制造业规模和质量不断迈上新台阶。制造业规模持续增长，规模以上工业增加值年均增长5.9%，全部制造业增加值由2020年的26.5万亿元增长至34.7万亿元，占GDP比重保持在25%左右。产业发展向新、向智、向绿成效显著，比如，工业机器人年产量从21.8万套上升至77.3万套，累计建成504家卓越级智能工厂，国家绿色工厂产值占制造业总产值比重提升至22%。 (央视新闻客户端 总台央视记者 孙蓟潍 杨子清)。
