The overall national epidemic prevention and control situation has stabilized, and the daily average number of newly reported infections has dropped by 80% from the peak period – Xinhua English.news.cn

Economic Daily, Beijing, May 6 (Reporter Jiang Tianjiao) The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on the 6th to introduce the scientific, accurate and detailed epidemic prevention and control work. Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the National Health Commission’s Epidemic Response and Disposal Leading Group, emphasized that “dynamic clearing” does not mean global static management. On the contrary, one of the goals pursued by “dynamic clearing” is to avoid global static management as much as possible.

Mi Feng, spokesman for the National Health Commission, said that since May, the national epidemic prevention and control situation has generally stabilized, and the number of newly confirmed local cases and asymptomatic infections in Japan has continued to decline. Up to now, 21 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps are low-risk areas, but there is still a risk of rebound, and the epidemic prevention and control situation is still severe and complicated.

“Since mid-April, the overall epidemic situation in my country has shown a trend of continuous fluctuation and decline. During the ‘May 1’ holiday, the national epidemic situation has been generally stable.” Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the National Health Commission’s Bureau of Disease Control, said that from April 30 to May 5 Today, the daily average of newly reported infections across the country dropped by 80% from the peak period.

Wu Liangyou introduced that the number of newly infected people in Shanghai has continued to decline recently, and the situation of epidemic prevention and control has continued to stabilize; the epidemic in Jilin Province is still in the final stage, and the risks outside the isolation points and closed control areas have been basically controlled; Beijing The epidemic has been managed and controlled through regional nucleic acid screening and close inspection, and the risk of spread has been reduced.

How to better achieve scientific and precise prevention and control? Liang Wannian said that under the guidance of adhering to the general strategy of “foreign defense against import, internal defense against rebound” and the general policy of “dynamic clearing”, on the basis of continuing to adhere to effective prevention and control measures, especially for the current The prevalence of Omicron variant strains, and efforts are made to do the following aspects:

The first is to further strengthen disease surveillance. Surveillance is a very powerful means of early detection. If monitoring is done well, the sooner patients will be found, the sooner they will be proactive. In particular, the monitoring and management of key populations, places, and institutions must be done well, and antigen screening must be used effectively. + Effective combination of nucleic acid detection and diagnosis This monitoring method can detect infected persons as early as possible and prevent problems before they occur.

The second is to make relevant emergency preparations, prepare emergency plans for dealing with different epidemic scenarios, and strengthen the training and drills of relevant personnel. In particular, make preparations for makeshift hospitals, designated hospitals, isolation sites and related prevention and control materials. At the same time, it is also necessary to make preparations and relevant plans to ensure the normal life of the community during the epidemic prevention and control period, and exchange space for time.

Third, in terms of prevention and control measures, it is necessary to distinguish priorities and clarify the main direction of attack. From the beginning, community prevention and control must be given higher priority, and risk groups should be controlled within the scope of control as soon as possible. More efficient and coordinated efforts should be made to deal with the epidemic, and to ensure the coordination and linkage of nucleic acid testing, epidemiological investigation, isolation and transportation, isolation and treatment, and community management and control. In addition, various systems and various types of information should strengthen the linkage to ensure that various work requirements reach the grassroots as soon as possible.
