(Fighting new crown pneumonia) Plugging loopholes, preventing imports, blocking rebound, China's epidemic prevention and control remains "serious"

China News Agency, Beijing, February 28th: ​​Blocking loopholes, blocking input and preventing rebound China's epidemic prevention and control is still "serious"

The rate of severe illness has decreased, the rate of cure has increased, the fluctuation of new cases has decreased, and the number of discharged patients has increased day by day ... Recently, the epidemic situation of new crown pneumonia in China has shown a better trend. However, with the development of the epidemic, changes in domestic and foreign situations have also put forward new requirements for China's epidemic prevention and control.

The epidemic is still fluctuating

The National Health and Medical Commission reported on the 28th that, except Hubei, 9 new cases were diagnosed nationwide on the 27th, although it was down from 24 on the 26th, but still higher than the 5 on the 25th. Beijing, which has had no new confirmed cases for several consecutive days, saw a sharp increase in 10 confirmed cases on the 26th, and the epidemic data in many provinces often fluctuated.

In addition to the complexity and uncertainty of the epidemic, the reasons for this situation are also caused by some weak links.

According to the Beijing Health Commission, the newly confirmed cases in Beijing on the 26th were all close contacts of confirmed cases and belonged to a cluster epidemic of units imported from other provinces. Therefore, Beijing requires comprehensive investigation of weak links, practical elimination of risk hazards, no dead spots and no blind spots.

A few days ago, the release of Hubei's Ms. Huang, who was released from prison in Wuhan, was diagnosed after she was diagnosed in Wuhan. In Wuhan, which is still in the strictest state of prevention and control, how Ms. Huang successfully arrived in Beijing and whether there are loopholes in the entire process of epidemic prevention and control have become the focus of external attention.

Global situation is severe and epidemic prevention is imported

As of 9:00 am on the 28th, Korea time, the number of newly diagnosed cases of new crown pneumonia in South Korea increased to 2,022. The latest data from other countries show that there are nearly a thousand confirmed cases in Japan, and Iran, Italy, France, Germany and other countries have surged in newly confirmed cases. According to the WHO report, as of 6 am on the 27th of Geneva time, a total of 3,474 cases of new coronary pneumonia and 54 deaths occurred in 44 countries outside China.

WHO Director-General Tan Desai said that with regard to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, it is now outside of China that is the biggest concern, calling on all countries to take prompt action to unite to respond to the critical moment of the global epidemic.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference for several days that in the face of the epidemic, it is the responsibility of all countries to protect the lives and health of their people and maintain regional and global public health security. China is willing to communicate and cooperate closely with relevant countries, explore ways to strengthen joint prevention and control, and take appropriate and necessary measures to effectively block the transnational spread of the epidemic and jointly safeguard regional and global public health security.

At present, China has strengthened the health management of immigrants in many places and strictly guarded against the risks of epidemic importation. The prevention of exportation and importation are equally important in the prevention and control of the current epidemic situation in China.

Accumulate Chinese experience to prevent epidemic rebound

Bruce Elward, the head of the WHO expert team to China, said in Beijing that the Chinese method has proven to be the most successful and effective method for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and to promote the "Chinese experience" to the world. .

At present, China is still actively exploring China's path to epidemic prevention and control. In terms of etiology and epidemiology, China isolated and identified virus strains for the first time, and shared the whole genome sequence of the virus with WHO, laying a foundation for the rapid advancement of diagnostic technology and the development of drug vaccines. Today, China is continuing to deepen its research on virus transmission pathways and provide scientific and technological support for the optimization of prevention and control strategies.

With the rapid increase in the number of patients discharged from cure, the relevant departments strengthened the analysis of discharged patients on the basis of standardized discharge case tracking management and follow-up services, summarized relatively mature diagnosis and treatment plans and technical routes, and provided follow-up treatment and related countries. Epidemic control provides experience and technical support.

At present, China is "two-line combat"-how to gradually restore normal social and economic order while reducing the spread of the epidemic while reducing the losses caused by the epidemic will also be an important part of the "Chinese experience".

The Central Steering Group said at a press conference held in Wuhan on the 28th that the current situation of China's epidemic prevention and control continues to improve, but the situation is still severe and complex, and there is still a lot of uncertainty. It is facing tremendous pressure of rebound, so it cannot be blindly Optimistic, the prevention and control work still cannot be relaxed at all. (Finish)
