According to data from the National Health Commission, as of November 19, the number of newly confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in my country has been single digits for 4 consecutive days. What is the current situation of the epidemic? What are the precautions for the prevention and control of the epidemic in winter and spring? The State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism has made the latest research and judgment.
There is still one place that needs to be vigilant against repeated epidemics
“As of now, eight of the provinces affected by this round of local epidemics have no new local confirmed cases for more than 14 consecutive days.” National Health Commission spokesperson Mi Feng at a press conference on the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the 20th Said that the current round of the epidemic across the country has entered the tail-down stage as a whole.
“Except for Dalian City, Liaoning Province, other provinces have recently reported sporadic cases in a few places. The cases mainly come from centralized isolation points and risk control areas.” Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the National Health Commission’s Disease Control Bureau, introduced the general trend of the epidemic in Dalian. In a stable situation, the number of cases has decreased significantly, and the risk has continued to decline. However, there is still a risk of community transmission in some areas, and it is necessary to be vigilant against repeated epidemics.
Guo Yanhong, Inspector of the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission, said that as of the morning of the 20th, more than 40% of patients in this round of the epidemic have been cured and discharged.
The coverage rate of the whole vaccination population reached 76.3%
Wu Liangyou introduced that this epidemic can be brought under control in a relatively short period of time thanks to my country’s higher coverage of the new coronavirus vaccine. As of the 19th, my country’s new crown virus vaccination has covered 1.225 billion people and completed the entire vaccination process for 1.076 billion people. The population coverage rate reached 86.9% and 76.3% respectively. The immunization was strengthened to 65.73 million people in order to block the spread of the new coronavirus and prevent severe illness. Occurrence plays an important role.
Improving nucleic acid detection capabilities is a key support for epidemic prevention and control. Guo Yanhong introduced that through the mobilization of testing forces in the autonomous region and the country, Ejina Banner can complete the nucleic acid test of all employees in less than a day, and lock the scope of infection in the shortest time. In addition, by mobilizing the detection force of 345,000 tubes, Dalian’s nucleic acid detection capacity has increased to 600,000 tubes per day in a short period of time.
Wang Dengfeng, director of the Prevention and Control Office of the Ministry of Education and director of the Department of Sports, Health and Art Education, said that at present, the education system of most provinces across the country has implemented regular, irregular, and partial or full nucleic acid tests. For logistics staff, regular nucleic acid tests are needed.
Strengthen the construction of prevention and control capacity in port areas
“Recently, newly diagnosed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the world have rebounded for 5 consecutive weeks, and the pressure on China’s foreign import prevention has continued to increase.” Mi Feng said that it is necessary to continue to consolidate and implement existing prevention and control measures, strengthen the prevention and control capacity building in port areas, and protect them. External defense enters the first line of defense.
“You cannot relax the paralysis, and all localities still have to tighten the string of epidemic prevention and control.” Wu Liangyou said that the National Health Commission and the National Bureau of Disease Control have selected more than 300 experts from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and local disease control agencies. A national circulation expert team has been formed, and a working mechanism for sub-district counterparts has been established.
“We will comprehensively and systematically summarize the experience and lessons of this epidemic, highlight precise prevention and control, insist on catching the early and catch the small, continue to promote the vaccination work, and go all out to do a good job in the prevention and control of the winter and spring and the upcoming New Year’s Day and Spring Festival. “Wu Liang said.
