[Commentary] From 0:30 on April 30, the first-level response mechanism for public health emergencies in Beijing was adjusted to two levels, and the corresponding prevention and control strategies were adjusted. What changes will be brought about by the downgrading of the emergency response level of public health emergencies in Beijing? Fu Hua, a professor at the School of Public Health at Fudan University, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Service that this means that the overall epidemic prevention and control situation in Beijing can be controlled, and the people's living order can gradually return to normal.

After the downward adjustment, it shows that the whole prevention and control is a positive and positive signal. After it is reduced to second level, then many of its original strict prevention and control measures will gradually relax. Now, for example, if they return to Beijing in a low-risk area, do not quarantine for another 14 days. Many activities of the citizens may have to be gradually relaxed, for example, the control of traffic operations is also slowly being degraded, such as some public places, including libraries, museums, art galleries, etc. , Slowly and orderly opening.
[Commentary] Fu Hua said that with the downgrade of response levels, the resumption of production and the resumption of the market will continue to progress steadily. However, in this process, the risk of possible spread of the epidemic cannot be ignored.

Generally speaking, this risk is getting slower and slower, but we should also be soberly aware that we do not yet fully understand the details of its spread, especially for some The presence of asymptomatic infected persons. Regardless of whether it is Beijing or other cities, after its level is lowered, in fact they are in the epidemic, such as the prevention and control of the epidemic, such as the relevant departments, this string in this regard will not be put down. I think there are two at present, one is personal protection, and there is another main responsibility for you to open those places. I think they should (continue) to do it.
[Commentary] Does the downgrade of emergency response level mean that the public ’s self-protection can be gradually lifted? Fu Hua said that although the current domestic epidemic prevention and control situation is generally improving, there is still a risk of spread, and the public should not completely relax their vigilance.

The epidemic has not completely ended like this. Then, lowering the response level does not mean that you have canceled the prevention and control measures, but only changes in the prevention and control situation. For the people themselves, then I feel that regardless of the level, your self-protection is still very important. For example, washing hands frequently, there is a social distance, for example, in areas where the crowd may be dense, you need to wear masks, advocate to use public chopsticks and spoons when eating, etc. I think these good habits Still have to keep it.
[Explanation] Fu Hua also pointed out that although self-prevention and control need to be adhered to, they do not need to be too nervous to avoid excessive psychological burden.

We need to have this kind of consciousness, but we can't break this string too tightly, and we can't turn it into a panic and this kind of psychological burden. I think we must also balance these two aspects. In the first three months, everyone stayed at home completely. The weather in Beijing is now very good.
