(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Chinese disease control expert: Beijing is expected to lower the level of public health incident response within ten days

　　China News Agency, Beijing, July 14 (Xinhua) As of 24:00 on July 13, Beijing has not confirmed new cases of new coronary pneumonia for 8 consecutive days. At present, all high-risk areas in Beijing's new crown epidemic have been cleared. Wu Zunyou, chief expert in epidemiology of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters from China News Agency on the 14th that there should be no new cases in Beijing, and the level of public health incident response is expected to be adjusted within ten days.

　　Wu Zunyou said that the virus must continue to infect talents to spread in society before they can survive. There is no new source of local cases. "If you don't give it (virus), will it starve to death?"

　　Wu Zunyou said that there are no high-risk areas in Beijing, and medium-risk areas have fallen below a certain percentage, and the corresponding response levels may also be adjusted. "It is estimated that within a week to ten days, within ten days, it is estimated that the possibility of adjustment (to level 3) is relatively large."

　　He also pointed out that for the introduction of sporadic cases, including the possibility of local small-scale spread of the introduced cases, the public need not be too fussed to think that the epidemic will make a comeback. As the route is gradually opened, the number of imported cases will increase, but it will not have a major impact on social order, people's lives, and work.

　　"It can be said clearly that there will not be such a serious situation as Wuhan, this is the first; the second, the possibility of re-emergence such as the new development in Beijing and the aggregation and diffusion caused by the Northeast is also very small. "" Wu Zunyou said.

　　The disease control expert also pointed out that wearing masks, paying attention to hand hygiene, more ventilation and other hygiene habits can not only prevent the new coronavirus, but also prevent other respiratory diseases. Even if the epidemic is over, the people should still take normal protection.

　　Wu Zunyou illustrates that when we are with strangers in public places, we do not know the trajectory of these strangers in the past, nor do they know whether they have other risks. "So it is still important to wear masks in a closed environment and in a place with poor ventilation. To strengthen hand hygiene and maintain social distance, these measures must still be adhered to."

　　He also believes that the risk of spreading the new coronavirus through fresh food is very small. The items sold in supermarkets are mainly domestically produced, and there is no risk in selling imported goods after inspection. "Emphasis on hand hygiene cannot be overemphasized, and it is also a good protection measure." (End)
