CCTV News: The National Health Commission reported on October 24 that from 0:00 to 24:00 on October 23, 26 new confirmed cases were reported locally. They are: 7 cases in Inner Mongolia, including 3 cases in Hohhot, 2 cases in Xilin Gol League, 2 cases in Alxa League; 6 cases in Gansu, including 5 cases in Lanzhou City and 1 case in Zhangye City; 6 cases in Ningxia, including 3 cases in Yinchuan City and Wuzhong City 3 cases in Beijing; 4 cases in Beijing, all in Changping District; 1 case each in Hebei, Hunan, and Shaanxi.

What are the characteristics of this round of epidemic, and how to contain the spread of the epidemic? The State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference on October 24, and also responded to the prevention and control situation and hot issues.
106 of the 133 infected people are related to the transmission chain of the tour group
According to the relevant person in charge of the National Health Commission, of the 133 cases of infection reported as of 24:00 on October 23, 106 were related to the transmission chain of tour groups, involving 13 tour groups or self-driving tours. The virus in this epidemic is a delta mutant. The high viral nucleic acid load of respiratory samples in some cases indicates that the virus has a large amount of detoxification and strong transmission. Most of the infected people have cross-regional travel activities, and the risk of further spread of the epidemic is still increasing.
Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the National Health Commission’s Disease Control Bureau: The entire genome sequence of the virus in the case has low homology with the previous domestic epidemic, suggesting that this epidemic was caused by a new overseas source. On the whole, the current epidemic situation is in a rapid development stage, and the number of non-tourism cases has begun to increase. It is expected that as the investigation and screening of risk groups continues, the number of cases detected in the next few days will continue to increase. The scope of the epidemic may further expand.
Ministry of Culture and Tourism: Implementing the “circuit breaker” mechanism for the management of inter-provincial tourism business activities
In order to stop the spread of the epidemic across provinces, multiple departments have strengthened prevention and control measures. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism recently issued an emergency notice, proposing 20 measures to strengthen the prevention and control of epidemics in travel agencies, A-level tourist attractions, star-rated hotels, cultural and entertainment venues, etc., especially for long-distance inter-provincial tourism.
Liu Kezhi, Director of the Market Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism: The first is to strictly implement the “fuse” mechanism for the management of inter-provincial tourism business activities. For provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) where there are high-risk regions, travel agencies and online travel companies will immediately suspend the operation of inter-provincial team tours and “air tickets + hotel” services in the province (regions, cities). Up to now, the country’s medium- and high-risk regions are distributed in five provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) including Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu and Ningxia. Accordingly, the above-mentioned five provinces (regions and municipalities) have suspended inter-provincial tourism operations. The second is to suspend the operation of special tourism train services. Starting from October 23, the operation of special tourist train services nationwide will be suspended.
Ministry of Transport: Suspend road passenger services in relevant areas
The transportation department has strengthened passenger transportation control measures. In principle, the county-level administrative regions where the medium- and high-risk areas are located are suspended to provide external road passenger transportation services, and the cross-city bus, taxi, and ride-hailing services in the cities in the medium-risk areas are suspended.
Up to now, the cities of Lanzhou, Jiayuguan and Zhangye in Gansu, Erenhot City and Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia have completely suspended road passenger services.
Weave a dense prevention and control network to block prevention and control loopholes
It is not difficult to see from the source of the virus that tour groups have become the main transmission chain of this round of the epidemic. In view of the current situation of epidemic prevention and control, how to weave an epidemic prevention net?
Beijing and other five places have suspended inter-provincial travel
According to the requirements of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, up to now, the country’s medium- and high-risk areas are distributed in five provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) including Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu, and Ningxia. Provincial tourism business activities.
Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Shaanxi: Scenic area requires 48-hour nucleic acid test to stop transmission in time
The tour group that triggered the widespread spread of the epidemic came from Shanghai and passed through Gansu and Inner Mongolia, but it was first discovered in Shaanxi. At that time, a couple in the tour group were required to hold a certificate of a negative nucleic acid test report within 48 hours when they visited the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of Qin Shihuang to enter the park. As a result, the two had a nucleic acid test, and it was this time that the test was screened to be positive.
With the continuous disclosure of the latest developments in the epidemic, some loopholes in the prevention and control of the epidemic have gradually been exposed.
Seek medical attention promptly if you have specific symptoms
One of them is that cases with symptoms are not reported and sought medical attention in time. A report issued by the Beijing police on October 24 showed that the two confirmed cases of this round of the epidemic had symptoms such as sore throat and fever. They were still eating out and inviting many people to their residences to play mahjong. At present, five people who played mahjong together have been diagnosed, and two of them have been filed for criminal investigation. The police reminded that when certain symptoms appear, they should take the initiative to go to the prescribed medical and health institutions for medical treatment.
Pharmacies respond to real-name registration of feverish personnel purchasing drugs
In addition, the failure of the pharmacies to register the real-name registration of feverish personnel in accordance with the regulations is also a loophole. In another case notified by the Beijing police, two pharmacies in Changping District had repeatedly sold antipyretic, cough, cold, sore throat and dry throat drugs to confirmed cases without real-name registration of drug sales information, which caused the risk of spreading the new crown epidemic. , The responsible person has been investigated by a criminal case.
Wang Fuyi, Deputy Director of Beijing Municipal Drug Administration: For those who purchase the “four types” of drugs, pharmacies in the city strictly follow the prescribed procedures to do real-name sales registration to ensure that the registration information is complete, true, accurate, and traceable, and report information to the epidemic prevention and control department designated by the district government in a timely manner.
Strengthen the sense of hospital prevention and control, guard the bottom line of prevention and control
At present, the circulation of Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia is still in progress, and the local notice also shows that the relevant staff of the Public Security Bureau of Ejina Banner have neglected their duties and the people’s hospital has not implemented the responsibility for epidemic prevention and control, which has led to children and their families with fever. People enter the potentially contaminated area of the isolation ward of the hospital, causing serious safety accidents. All relevant units and individuals will be criticized in a full-flag report, and will be held accountable by the Supervisory Committee of the Flag Commission for Discipline Inspection. Keep the bottom line of prevention and control firmly, the prevention and control of hospitals cannot be relaxed.
