　　On July 23, 6,83095 people (parts) were sampled for nucleic acid testing in the city. Up to now, the city's total cumulative sampling is 2,309,537 people. It can be said that the closed management in the past few days has played a vital role in cutting off the spread of the virus, curbing the occurrence of clustered epidemics, and effectively controlling the epidemic.

If the previous prevention and control measures are easily adjusted at this time, the effectiveness of the current epidemic prevention and control may be lost. In the next step, Urumqi will continue to make every effort to improve nucleic acid detection capabilities, strengthen epidemiological investigation and traceability, and go all out to treat patients.

　　[Explanation] It is reported that in order to accelerate the full coverage of nucleic acid testing, nearly 7,000 nucleic acid sampling personnel, 10 nucleic acid testing teams set up and supported by the National Health Commission, and 24 nucleic acid testing institutions are mixed and organized to carry out nucleic acid testing, fighting the epidemic day and night in Urumqi. The front line of prevention and control.

　　Most of the newly confirmed cases reported in the past two days were converted to confirmed cases after testing and consultations on previously asymptomatic infections, not newly infected cases. With the continuous advancement of nucleic acid testing, sporadic cases and asymptomatic infections will still be screened out, some of which will turn into confirmed cases. Therefore, on the one hand, the general public should not panic; on the other hand, be positive Cooperate to implement various prevention and control measures.
