All visitors from Beijing are isolated? Don't let the "territorial policy" work independently
"From 0:00 on July 4, people from low-risk areas in the city will no longer be required to hold negative nucleic acid test certificates." Seeing this news, many Beijing residents who were "home" due to the epidemic could not help but relax. Tone. As Beijing's recent epidemic has been effectively controlled, many people are looking forward to resuming the necessary movement of people and releasing the travel needs that have been suppressed by the epidemic.
Despite Beijing's relaxation of the requirements for personnel from low-risk areas to leave Beijing, some places have not changed their prevention and control policies in time. According to the "Legal Daily" report, after Beijing issued the above notice, many other places in the country did not change the local prevention and control measures. Some places even require that, even if they hold a negative nucleic acid test within 7 days before leaving Beijing, they must be quarantined or isolated at home and monitored for health. Experts commented that the implementation of the "local policy" by each local government has caused great inconvenience to public life and economic organizations to resume work and resume production.
Facts have proved that since the discovery of the "Mr. Xicheng" as the first confirmed patient, Beijing's treatment has been timely and effective, and the epidemic has been controlled within a short period of time. There have been "zero new" reports for several days. The evaluation by domestic and foreign media is different from the previous comprehensive blockade adopted during the outbreak of Wuhan. The measures taken by Beijing this time are more targeted, and their measures are more worthy of reference by other countries when they resume work and restart.
With the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, people do not want to see a rebound, but they cannot be overly optimistic and take it lightly. Once a local epidemic situation occurs again, how to implement precise control and control, strike a balance between prevention and control and maintain daily social order, so as not to allow people's normal production and life to be unnecessarily disturbed should be the focus of improving the level of epidemic prevention in the future.
In some places, the prevention and control of personnel from epidemic areas by adopting the "separate politics" approach undoubtedly violates the principle of precise control. At present, passengers departing from Beijing have to ask the relevant departments of their destinations to understand the relevant control policies. Sometimes, even in the same place, different levels and different departments may give different answers. After making a lot of calls, the exact policy explanation may not be obtained. According to reports, after Beijing’s relaxation of control over Beijing, some Beijing residents must report to the community in order to return to their hometown, submit information such as Beijing’s address, local address, ID photo, Beijing health code, ticket, and action track, and even Provide a photo of the property certificate. These practices leave people with travel needs at a loss.
On the one hand, some places are "one size fits all" for people from the epidemic-risk areas, and policy changes are slow, making it impossible to adjust to changes in risk in a timely manner; The "local approach" is still used to implement control.
Epidemic prevention and control is a test of the local governance system and governance capabilities. If we do not raise the level of governance, we still follow the traditional governance ideas, which not only hinders the travel of business travellers, but also troubles local development. According to the worst-case scenario, if there is a local epidemic in these places, people certainly do not want people to be "indiscriminately set everywhere" when traveling. This backward thinking of prevention and control will also affect its daily governance, which is superficially strict, in fact it is just a blunt overweight and lacks adaptability in the face of emergencies.
Regarding the practice of prevention and control of "separate politics", some experts put forward suggestions that you can't prevent epidemic excessively, you must classify and classify accurate prevention and control, and you can't implement lazy politics "one size fits all. Of course, if we only rely on the communication of local governments, it is difficult to unify the different practices in various places. Only by strengthening the "top-level design" and implementing a unified management and control system at the national level can we eliminate the "information gap" of ordinary people, reduce the cost of social communication, and thus more effectively promote the resumption of production.
Preparedness is not enough. Beijing's recent response to the local rebound of the epidemic has provided useful experience for how to carry out precise prevention and control. In any case, the scene in which a small amount of epidemics occurs and economic activities are completely stopped is a price that society cannot bear. When carrying out prevention and control, various regions should continually improve methods, flexibly adjust prevention and control policies, and increase the transparency and timeliness of the release of prevention and control information, thereby improving the level of government governance modernization and truly allowing science to play a decisive role in prevention and control.
