The proposal of "Chinese New Year in situ" still requires detailed measures

　　On January 10th, the Chongqing Catering Chamber of Commerce issued an initiative to 1987 member companies, more than 70,000 catering companies and nearly 1 million catering industry employees in the city, "Chinese New Year in Chongqing, and implement online New Year greetings."

(See "Chongqing Morning News" on January 10)

　　In the past few days, many places such as Hebei, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hunan have issued notices advocating that migrant workers do not return to their hometowns and spend the New Year at the place where they work if they are not necessary; those who do need to return home must strictly abide by local nucleic acid testing, filing, isolation, etc. Prevention and control requirements.

As the Spring Festival approaches, there may be more and more places advocating "Chinese New Year in situ", but the advocacy alone is not enough, and precise measures are needed.

　　The proposal to "Celebrate the New Year in situ" is because the domestic pressure on epidemic prevention has increased, and reducing the circulation of people can reduce the risk of virus transmission and infection.

The starting point of "Chinese New Year in situ" is the overall situation, and the goal is to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible.

Therefore, people should understand and support such initiatives as "Chinese New Year in situ", non-essential non-returning home, non-essential non-going out, non-essential non-gathering and other initiatives, and try to cooperate.

　　Of course, the advocacy of "Chinese New Year in situ" is not mandatory, and relevant places must also take into account the necessity of some people to go home, and make forward-looking plans for such situations as much as possible to improve relevant epidemic prevention measures.

　　After the proposal of "Chinese New Year in situ", relevant supporting work must be done.

For example, companies need to give some care and care to employees who "celebrate the New Year on the spot", and some places have already made arrangements for this. On January 7, Zhejiang issued the "Notice on Encouraging Retaining Employees to Stable Production and Ensuring High Quality of the Economy" ", list ten major measures to encourage localities and enterprises to retain employees and stabilize production during the Spring Festival, ensure the smooth flow of the industrial chain and supply chain, and promote a high-quality economic "good start."

Among them, encouraging companies to take measures such as issuing "retention red envelopes", improving dining conditions, and arranging cultural and tourist activities, is impressive.

Of course, the functional departments can also consider organizing related activities so that workers who "Celebrate the New Year on the spot" can also relieve their "homesickness" at the work site.

　　From another perspective, some people "Celebrate the New Year on the spot" means that their relatives far away from home will more or less regret it.

In this regard, the local functional departments should do their best to comfort, especially to ensure the needs and safety of special groups such as left-behind children and empty-nest elderly.

　　As for those who are “necessary” to go home, the relevant parties cannot stop them by “one size fits all” and misinterpret the policy. They can provide convenience for the way home by rationing masks, disinfection supplies, and strengthening nucleic acid testing and inspection links.

In this way, the "New Year's Day" can be considered complete.
