A novel virus fusion research team (CEVI fusion research team) led by the Korea Chemical Research Institute has discovered antibodies that can fight the new coronavirus (COVID-19), Yonhap News Agency said on April 4. The team said that the structure of the stinger protein of the new coronavirus is very similar to that of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and SARS, and has confirmed that the neutralizing antibody of the latter can bind to it. The research team analyzed the structural information file of the neocoronavirus stinger protein published on the bioscience preprint website "bioRxiv" and predicted that two neutralizing antibodies of SARS and one neutralizing antibody of MERS could bind to the neocoronavirus stinger protein, which is expected to contribute to vaccine development. The above findings were published in bioRxiv on the 27th of last month. The research team also obtained the novel coronavirus strain from the Department of Disease Management and successfully obtained ribonucleic acid (RNA) last month.

The focus of the prevention and control of the new coronavirus will shift from exported cases to imported cases in the future. As there are lots of international exchanges in Guangdong, it is necessary to strengthen the measures of border inspection and border detection, and to adopt quarantine measures for those who come to China.
