21 provinces have been affected by the epidemic, the risk of overlapping respiratory infectious diseases has increased, the pressure of foreign defense input continues to increase, and many places across the country have ushered in a substantial cooling… Multiple factors have “struck” to prevent and control the current new crown pneumonia epidemic in China Increase the difficulty. Experts have already judged that the epidemic prevention and control situation in this winter and spring will be more complicated than last year.
Against this background, what is the current situation of the epidemic in Mainland China? How to prevent elderly patients from becoming severe and critical? How to classify and implement policies to treat children infected with infections? The State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism press conference on the 13th gave answers to relevant content.
The epidemic in mainland China this winter has spread to 21 provinces
What is the current situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Mainland China? Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the National Health Commission’s Disease Control Bureau, said that the overall epidemic situation across the country has stabilized. The epidemics in many provinces affected by the epidemic in the early stage have been effectively controlled, and the spread of the virus has been successfully blocked.
He further introduced that the epidemics in Heihe in Heilongjiang, Shijiazhuang in Hebei, Zhengzhou in Henan, and Chengdu in Sichuan are gradually being brought under control. The epidemic situation in some areas such as Dalian in Liaoning, Beijing, Shangrao in Jiangxi, and Dehong in Yunnan still needs attention. The number of people infected with the Beijing-Jilin-related epidemic is limited, and investigations and control measures of risk sites and risk groups are being carried out in an orderly manner.
The current round of the epidemic in Mainland China involves many provinces. The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism Comprehensive Team also promptly dispatched a front work group to guide the orderly implementation of nucleic acid testing in areas where the epidemic occurred, quickly investigate populations at risk locations, strengthen the isolation and control of key personnel, and strengthen medical treatment and infection prevention and control.
Wu Liangyou also stated that the epidemics in Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Hubei, Hunan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guizhou, Chongqing and other provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are basically controlled around the incubation period. At present, in key areas such as Dalian, Heihe, Chengdu, Shijiazhuang, Shangrao, Ruili, and other key areas, there are still working groups sent by the comprehensive team of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council to guide the handling of the epidemic.
66 severely ill patients have turned mild or cured and discharged
According to the current understanding of new coronary pneumonia, the elderly and people with basic diseases are high-risk groups of severe and critical illness. In the current round of the epidemic in Mainland China, the proportion of severely ill patients is relatively high, and related medical treatment is also a key task.
Guo Yanhong, Inspector of the Medical Administration of the National Health Commission, said that as of 24:00 on November 12, the current round of epidemic involved 21 provinces, with a total of 1,379 cases of infection, and more than 300 cases have been cured and discharged; there are a total of critically ill patients. Of 85 cases, after careful treatment, 66 cases have been converted to mild or cured and discharged.
For example, the total number of severely ill patients in Gansu has reached 28. After active treatment, 25 patients have been converted to mild or cured and discharged. The number of severely ill patients in Inner Mongolia has reached 24, and 22 have been converted to mild or cured and discharged. There are currently 12 severe cases in Heilongjiang. Because the outbreak occurred in a relatively short time and the treatment time was relatively short, the current 6 cases were converted to mild cases or discharged.
“For the treatment of severe illness, we have adopted homogenized and standardized treatment and expert guidance, as well as’one person, one policy’, and the treatment effect is still very good.” Guo Yanhong said that there are still 19 severely ill patients receiving treatment in the hospital. “The overall condition is still very stable.”
She also pointed out that for the elderly, especially those with basic diseases, the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism dispatched a team of experienced experts in time to rush to designated hospitals to guide the local medical team in accordance with the “one person, one policy” and multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment. , To provide support for patients; on the other hand, to focus on early management of patients with severe disease tendency, while strengthening the monitoring of early warning indicators, to maximize the implementation of measures before patients turn serious or become critical.
Half of children between the ages of 3 and 11 have started vaccinating
Several cases of child infections occurred in the new crown pneumonia epidemic that occurred in Putian, Fujian some time ago. In recent confirmed cases reported in Zhengzhou, Henan and Xinji, Hebei, many of the infected were minors at school. The medical treatment of juvenile patients with new coronary pneumonia and the prevention and control of campus epidemics have once again attracted attention from all parties.
Talking about the characteristics of children with new coronary pneumonia, Guo Yanhong pointed out that first, the treatment methods and drug dosage are different from adults, and second, most children have relatively mild symptoms, mostly mild and common. “During the treatment process, we specially dispatched pediatric experts to guide, and at the same time specially organized a children’s medical team to undertake the specific work of children’s diagnosis and treatment.”
Guo Yanhong said that for children’s diagnosis and treatment work, on the one hand, it is symptomatic support, on the other hand, it is to maintain adequate rest and nutritious meals, and pay special attention to the care and psychological support of children. For children with some symptoms, such as fever and cough, Chinese patent medicines are generally preferred to improve symptoms. She also introduced some special arrangements in the treatment process to strengthen the humanistic care for the children.
On the other hand, vaccination is a powerful measure to deal with the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Many places in China are carrying out new crown virus vaccination work for people aged 3 to 11. Wu Liangyou said that at present, 84395,000 people have been vaccinated for people aged 3 to 11, and they will strive to complete the entire vaccination work for this group by the end of December.
Wang Dengfeng, director of the Office of Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Education and director of the Department of Sports, Health and Art Education, also pointed out that at present, more than 95% of the new crown vaccination for students over 18 years old has reached more than 95%, and half of the 160 million people aged 3 to 11 have started vaccination. He also pointed out that for children between the ages of 3 to 11 and 11 to 18, the new crown virus vaccine vaccination policy is consistent with the overall national policy, that is, “the premise of informed, voluntary and consent.” (over)
