Win the battle of epidemic prevention and control
On May 27, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on "It is urgent to grasp the situation of epidemic prevention and control."
At the press conference, relevant experts answered questions from the media on the national epidemic situation, vaccination, disinfection and sterilization, campus epidemic prevention and control and other issues of public concern.
Lei Zhenglong, deputy director and first-level inspector of the National Health Commission's Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, said that in recent days, the national epidemic situation has continued to decline steadily, and the number of new local infections in the country has dropped to less than 600 every day. The epidemic situation in Shanghai is stable and improving. The number of newly infected people in Beijing has dropped significantly in the past two days.
Japan's new local infections
has dropped to below 600 cases
Lei Zhenglong, deputy director of the National Health Commission's Disease Control Bureau and first-level inspector, introduced at the press conference that in recent days, the national epidemic situation has continued to decline steadily, and the number of new local infections in the country has dropped to less than 600 every day.
At present, the number of newly reported infections in Shanghai has dropped below 500 for 4 consecutive days, and the epidemic continues to be stable and under control. The epidemic has rebounded in some key places; the number of newly reported infected people in Beijing has dropped significantly in the past two days, and 8 districts and counties have reached a stable social level. It still exists locally, and it is necessary to strengthen the investigation and isolation.
Recently, some of the border counties in Jilin have reported local cases, and the source of infection is unclear. The epidemic has gradually spread from the border areas to the inland areas, and spillover has occurred. It is necessary to attach great importance to the risk of importation and strengthen various measures to prevent importation.
Tianjin is currently showing a multi-point clustered epidemic, and the risk of community transmission still exists.
The Linshui epidemic in Guang'an, Sichuan has entered the final phase, and there have been no reports of non-control personnel infected for several days, and the epidemic risk is controllable.
The epidemic situation in Henan is basically stable, the entire Zhengzhou city has achieved social zero, and there are still small-scale epidemics in some parts of Xuchang.
Lei Zhenglong said that the National Health and Health Commission will continue to guide all localities to further implement the requirements of the "Four Mornings", upgrade prevention and control capabilities, improve the efficiency and quality of response and disposal, compact the "quartet" responsibility for epidemic prevention and control, and implement key places and key groups of people. , The prevention and control measures of key units, scientific and precise policies, resolutely prevent simplification, one-size-fits-all, layer-by-layer overweight, and make overall plans for epidemic prevention and control and social and economic development.
Acquired by natural infection alone
Immunization is a dangerous choice
Lei Zhenglong introduced that as of May 26, a total of 3,375,898,000 doses of the new crown vaccine have been reported nationwide, with a total of 1,289,584,000 people vaccinated, and 1,255,732,000 people have been vaccinated throughout the course. It accounts for 91.47% and 89.07% of the total population of the country.
In response to the claim that "Omicron will acquire natural immunity after infection", Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that in fact, the new coronavirus is mutating and evolving, especially the recently popular Omicron mutation In fact, we are still in the process of continuous understanding.
After being infected with the virus, in theory, there will be natural immunity, but I think this is not the choice we should make at the moment.
On the one hand, the Omicron variant can also cause severe illness and death, especially among chronically ill people and the elderly. If you don’t get vaccinated and get immunity from natural infection, I think this may be a Dangerous choice.
Second, since the application of the new coronavirus vaccine, we have seen that its effect on preventing severe illness and preventing death is still very clear.
In addition, the Omicron variant has undergone a considerable mutation, and in this case, there is still great uncertainty about immunity from natural infection.
In response to the question of whether it is necessary to wait for the official application of the Omicron vaccine before vaccination, Wang Huaqing said that the current research on the Omicron strain vaccine is to hope that we can add a means in the process of responding to the new coronavirus in the future.
Although the Omicron variant vaccine has entered clinical trials, it will take time to determine its findings.
In addition, the mutation and evolution of the virus has also increased uncertainty. The current Omicron epidemic is still relatively serious in the world, especially in some countries.
In this case, especially for the elderly, we have also been emphasizing that, including for those with underlying diseases, if you do not complete the full vaccination and booster vaccination, once the epidemic occurs, it will bring more Severe cases will also increase the burden of medical treatment.
The top priority is to complete the vaccination as soon as possible, and to complete the booster vaccination as soon as possible.
Is the abnormal reaction related to the vaccine?
It needs to be comprehensively analyzed and judged by the expert group
At the press conference, some media asked questions that there was a discussion that some people who got leukemia after receiving the new crown vaccine believe that the disease is related to the vaccination. In this regard, Wang Huaqing said that some symptoms and diseases appeared after the vaccination, including the leukemia you mentioned just now. , whether it has anything to do with the vaccine, we have to do two things in the judgment: the first is to standardize the process.
The second is to have a basis for judgment.
In terms of process, after vaccination, when it is suspected that there are symptoms and related diseases related to the vaccine, a report should be made and reported to the vaccination unit.
After receiving the report, the inoculation unit will conduct an investigation. This investigation is carried out by an expert group composed of experts from multiple fields to do the relevant investigation, and during the investigation process, it is necessary to collect all relevant information, including vaccination information, This may be of great concern to everyone, followed by past medical history, as well as some clinical manifestations and corresponding test results.
What kind of disease it is, it needs to collect and investigate complete relevant information.
In addition, whether it has anything to do with vaccines, that is, what we call abnormal reactions, is an expert diagnosis team composed of multidisciplinary experts, who make analysis and judgments based on the results of the investigation and the content of the investigation.
Generally, in the process of judging adverse reactions or abnormal reactions, we need to consider six aspects. In addition to the temporal correlation that the public pays more attention to, we also need to consider the biological rationality, correlation strength, the regularity of abnormal reactions, and the consistency of correlations. sex, specificity of association, etc.
Wang Huaqing emphasized that if you feel unwell after being vaccinated, especially if the symptoms last for a long time and the symptoms are relatively severe, go to the doctor immediately.
Second, if you suspect that it is related to the vaccine, the corresponding personnel need to make a judgment based on the six aspects just mentioned.
Wang Huaqing said that abnormal vaccine reactions and their diagnosis are still in the process of understanding and need to be constantly improved, but judgments must be made by an expert group composed of multidisciplinary experts.

Special candidates such as confirmed diagnosis and close contact can take the college entrance examination in the examination room at the isolation point.
On the 27th, Liu Peijun, deputy director and first-level inspector of the Department of Sports, Health and Arts of the Ministry of Education, said at the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council on the prevention and control of campus epidemics, that it is necessary to prepare for emergency response to sudden epidemics, and to guard the campus against major incidents. The bottom line of a large-scale epidemic.
In addition, the Ministry of Education and the National Health Commission issued a document on May 27 to further guide local governments to do a good job in epidemic prevention in the college entrance examination.
The notice pointed out that sufficient backup test centers should be prepared.
According to the actual situation, all localities have prepared sufficient spare test centers and spare isolation test rooms.
For candidates who are unable to go to the original test center to take the test due to the closed area, after professional evaluation, the local area will properly arrange to take the test at the alternate test center according to their specific conditions; for confirmed cases, asymptomatic infected persons, close contacts and other special candidates , after professional evaluation, you can take the test in the local hospital examination room, centralized isolation point examination room, etc.
In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the environmental sanitation and disinfection of the examination room.
Before the test, comprehensively clean and disinfect the test center, test room, aisles, door handles, desks and chairs, dormitories, etc.
During the examination period, cleaning and disinfection should be done after each subject; after the examination, a thorough environmental cleaning and disinfection should be done.
Local health departments or disease control agencies arrange a special epidemic prevention deputy examiner for each test site, who is fully responsible for epidemic-related routine work and emergency handling.
Strictly manage the classification management of ordinary examination rooms and spare isolated examination rooms.
The personnel and items of the ordinary examination room and the standby isolation examination room are strictly managed by division and classification, and do not overlap or mix.
The standby isolation examination room should be set up with special epidemic prevention channels, security check entrances, etc., and strictly implement physical isolation from ordinary examination rooms.
In addition, health screenings such as nucleic acid testing before examinations have been strengthened.
According to the actual situation, all localities have done a good job of pre-test nucleic acid testing for candidates and personnel involved in specific areas, and for screening abnormal candidates, arrange alternate test sites (sites), and do not participate in the test at the same test sites (sites) as normal candidates.
Improve and improve health screening and supplementary fast-track measures.

respond
Household disinfection must be strictly implemented in accordance with disinfection technical specifications
The media asked questions at the press conference. Recently, some places have carried out terminal disinfection on the places where the cases live or have been active, but some places have increased the number of "one person positive for the whole building to disinfect the whole building" during the implementation process. Is this reasonable?
In response, Lei Zhenglong responded that disinfection is an effective measure and means to implement "human, material, and environment" prevention and cut off the transmission of infectious diseases, and plays an important role in the process of epidemic prevention and control.
In accordance with the provisions of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, places and items contaminated by infectious disease pathogens shall be strictly disinfected.
In the process of epidemic prevention and control, professional disinfection teams are organized in various places in accordance with laws and regulations, in accordance with the new coronary pneumonia prevention and control plan and according to the results of epidemiological investigations. Terminal disinfection of environmental sites plays an important role in ensuring environmental safety.
However, we also found that in the process of disinfection, there were problems such as inadequate communication and irregular operation in some places.
In this regard, we also request to further strengthen the training, publicity and implementation of policy documents, technical operation procedures, disinfection methods, and strengthen supervision during the disinfection process.
In the process of organizing household disinfection, all localities must strictly follow the disinfection technical specifications and procedures, and at the same time, pay attention to strengthening communication before, during and after the event, so that everyone can understand and support the disinfection work, and work together to standardize disinfection.
