[NewTangDynastyBeijingtimeJuly292021]The outbreak in Nanjing has spread to 15 provinces and 26 cities. Wang Hesheng, director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention of the Communist Party of China, rushed to Nanjing a few days ago to guide the prevention and control of the epidemic. Some experts pointed out that the Nanjing epidemic has spread to many places, and the source of infection is difficult to stop.
The mainland official media “The Paper” reported on July 29 that after combing through the circulation information notified by the health committees of various places, it was found that in nine days, the local epidemic in Nanjing had spread to 15 provinces and 26 cities across the country. Related infections have been reported in Beijing, Guangdong, Liaoning, Anhui, Sichuan, and Hunan.
With the rapid spread of the epidemic, senior CCP officials rushed to the affected area, but no effective response measures have been seen so far.
Jiangsu Satellite TV reported on the 28th that in the morning, the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee’s Leading Group for Epidemic Responses held a meeting to deploy epidemic prevention and control. Wang Hesheng, deputy director of the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China and director of the National Disease Control and Prevention Bureau, Lei Haichao, working group leader and deputy director of the National Health Commission, and working group experts attended the meeting to guide epidemic prevention.
More than two months ago, the vice-ministerial National Bureau of Disease Control was officially listed in Beijing, and Wang Hesheng served as the first director. During the outbreak in Wuhan last year, he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and Party Secretary of the Provincial Health Committee.
The Nanjing epidemic is continuing to heat up. The latest news released by the Nanjing Center for Epidemic Prevention and Control on the 29th indicated that there have been 171 local confirmed cases in Nanjing (78 cases of light type, 86 cases of normal type, and 7 cases of heavy type).
Nanjing currently has 42 medium-risk areas and 4 high-risk areas. Since the 29th, the entire Lukou Sub-district of Jiangning District has been adjusted to high-risk areas.
Ding Jie, deputy director of the Nanjing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reported on the 27th that the virus spread in Nanjing is a mutant strain of Delta, which has the characteristics of rapid spread and strong infectivity.
Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, warned that in the same space, in the same unit, in the same building and in the same building, those who had been with these infected cases four days before the onset of illness were all close contacts.
The epidemic has spread to Beijing. Xu Hejian, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and director of the Municipal Government Information Office, said at a press conference on the 29th that it is necessary to strictly control the entry of personnel from medium and high-risk areas into Beijing and strictly prevent the import of overseas epidemics.
In a performance in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, about 2,000 spectators had a trajectory intersection with 4 infected people from other provinces, and these 2,000 people were all classified as high-risk groups.
Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Fudan University, posted on Weibo on the 29th, “If there are more cases that are not directly related to (Nanjing) Lukou Airport, it indicates that the scale of the epidemic will expand and it may be necessary to take measures. More decisive measures”.
At present, according to reports from outside Jiangsu Province, the infected people who have been to Lukou Airport on their trajectory are mostly mild and asymptomatic infections, which makes the spread of the virus more insidious and puts forward a new test for epidemic prevention.
A public health expert told Xinhuanet, “Symptoms are open flames, which are easy to detect and extinguish; but mild and asymptomatic are dark fires. It is difficult to find how long and how far the virus has spread.”
A public health expert from the mainland who did not want to be named told China News Weekly on the 27th that the Nanjing epidemic has spread to many places and the source of infection is difficult to stop. He believes, “Nanjing is actually closed now, but it is still a bit late.”
