A low-risk area does not mean no risk! Official response to issues such as scenic spots gathering, mask production capacity, etc.
Client of Sino-Singapore Jingwei on February 25th. On the 25th, the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference on the scientific prevention and control of accurate strategies and grading of epidemic prevention and control. It was introduced at the conference that places outside Hubei Province and Beijing were classified into low-risk areas, medium-risk areas, and high-risk areas based on the severity of the epidemic. In addition, the official also responded to the phenomenon of “scenic gathering” and the problem of mask production capacity.
Outside Hubei and Beijing, divide high, medium and low risk areas by county level
Ou Xiaoli, director of the Social Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the current situation of epidemic situation varies from place to place and needs classified guidance and precise policy. The division, grading, and accurate resumption of work and production are based on the severity of the epidemic in places outside Hubei Province and Beijing, and are divided into three categories: low-risk areas, medium-risk areas, and high-risk areas.
Implementation of external defense strategies in low-risk areas . Comprehensively restore production and living order, remove road access restrictions, help enterprises solve problems and problems in terms of labor, raw materials, capital equipment, etc., and should not set conditions for resuming production and resume production, and should not use the forms of approval, filing, etc. as an excuse to delay resumption of work Delivery time.
Medium-risk areas implement external defense input and internal defense proliferation strategies. The orderly restoration of normal production and living order as soon as possible, the orderly return of staff to the organization, and guidance of the employment enterprises to strictly implement the requirements of disinfection, ventilation, temperature measurement, reduce the density of personnel, reduce the concentration of personnel, strengthen personnel protection, eliminate hidden dangers, and achieve epidemic conditions The prevention and control and the resumption of production and production of enterprises continued to advance.
High-risk areas implement internal non-proliferation, external defense output, and strict control strategies. Ou Xiaoli said that we must continue to concentrate our efforts on epidemic prevention and control. After the epidemic situation is effectively controlled, the scope of resumption of work and order will be expanded in an orderly manner. Of course, there is a premise here. The high-risk areas must also ensure the normal operation of epidemic prevention and control, public utility operations, the needs of the people's lives, and other important national economy and people's livelihood enterprises.
How often is the adjustment more scientific and reasonable?
The joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council requires that provinces and jurisdictions make dynamic adjustments to the lists of low, medium and high risks. How often is it reasonable to make adjustments?
He Qinghua, first-level inspector of the CDC of the National Health and Health Commission, said that the dynamic adjustment of district classification required by the State Council is based on comprehensive research and judgment of the epidemic situation in various provinces and counties. The counties that meet the adjustment conditions are adjusted in a timely manner.
"The epidemic situation changes every day. The situation yesterday and today is changing. It should be said that as the epidemic situation changes, the risk level can be adjusted and announced at any time. " He Qinghua also emphasized that in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the number of cases remained unchanged. When the risks of sustained and steady decline and the spread of the epidemic are effectively controlled, provinces and cities should promptly reduce the level of emergency response by region or terminate the emergency response.

Are high and medium risk areas closed?
Are high- and medium-risk areas adopting closed community management and closing entertainment venues and scenic spots?
He Qinghua said that it must be judged according to the level of epidemic risk in this county. In the middle-risk area, the existing case epidemiological investigation and epidemic situation analysis should be used as clues, and the places and personnel for prevention and control management should be reasonably determined according to the space and personnel scope of their production and living contacts, and detailed management should be implemented. For example, if there is an outbreak in the school, it must be accurate to the class; if it is in the factory, it must be accurate to the workplace and the workplace. In the village, households are used as units to implement targeted prevention and control strategies. In addition to the above measures, high-risk areas should also restrict personnel gathering, and adopt closed-loop management and other control measures to restrict personnel access.
Can mask productivity meet your needs?
According to Ou Xiaoli, from the perspective of supply, through the joint efforts of all parties , the production capacity of masks across the country has been greatly improved compared to the initial period of the epidemic. At present, the daily output of masks nationwide has exceeded 54 million, which is almost three times higher than that at the end of the Spring Festival holiday, which has partially eased the tension. The daily output of medical N95 masks has exceeded 900,000, and it is expected to reach 1 million per day at the end of the month, and the total can basically meet the needs of the frontline medical care.
Ou Xiaoli said that in the past month, we have quickly organized the resumption of production of masks throughout the industrial chain to achieve capacity expansion and do an "addition" of mask production. Actively coordinated and solved the supply of raw materials, auxiliary materials, and production equipment in the production of masks, focused on solving many difficulties such as labor, logistics, and capital, and basically realized the full operation of the entire industrial chain. The capacity utilization rate of masks across the country has reached about 110%.
From the perspective of demand, the demand for masks in this epidemic has exploded, which will inevitably cause inequality between supply and demand. It is foreseeable that with the orderly advancement of work and production and the gradual restoration of living order, the demand for masks other than N95 will also increase rapidly, and the contradiction between supply and demand will increase. It is unrealistic to reach the "how much and how much" of masks right now. Therefore, it is necessary to use masks scientifically as needed to reduce unnecessary waste.
"We noticed that some people wear N95 masks at home every day, and some people do not reach one or two people a day, and they also change a mask in 4 hours. This is too 'local', it is completely unnecessary. Here we are I call on everyone to protect themselves while shouldering the responsibility of using scientific masks sparingly. Every time a waste is reduced, others are more healthy. "Ou Xiaoli said.

National Health Commission: Low-risk areas do not mean that there is still no protection
Some media reported that recently, in Sichuan, Guangdong and other individual regions, people took off their masks, drank tea together, queued up in front of restaurants, and traffic jams in scenic spots. Some netizens believe that being in a low-risk area means that you can return to the state before the outbreak. Does it indicate that the requirements for residents' protection have been reduced?
He Qinghua emphasized that low-risk areas do not mean that there is no risk. Some areas have just been adjusted from high-risk and medium-risk levels to low-risk levels. Residents in these areas usually need to take personal protection. On the one hand, to reduce unnecessary crowd gathering, it is recommended to wear masks in crowded places, and to adopt partitioned operations and scattered meals when returning to work and production. If you need to wear a mask correctly and work as short as possible when working in a closed place, and do a good job of self-health monitoring, you are now in the winter-spring alternation season. After returning to normal production and life, people in low-risk areas will inevitably have headaches and colds. Once you have cough and fever, you must not only wear a mask, but also go to a designated medical institution as soon as possible. (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)
