　　Urumqi Mayor Yasheng Sidike said at a press conference held in Xinjiang on the 24th that Urumqi raced against time and went all out to carry out the city's free nucleic acid testing. On July 23, the city completed 6,83095 nucleic acid samples. Up to now, a total of 2,309,537 people have been sampled in the city.

　　According to him, the nucleic acid tests for residents in Tianshan District and Shayibake District have been completed, Shuimogou District has basically been completed, Midong District, Economic Development Zone (Toutunhe District), High-tech Zone (New Urban District), Daban District, Urumqi Nucleic acid testing in the county and the Ganquanpu Economic and Technological Development Zone is proceeding intensively and orderly.

"I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the general public friends"

　　Urumqi Mayor Yasheng Sidike said that after the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia, Urumqi immediately launched an emergency response plan and adopted strict control measures. The general public fully understands, actively cooperates with various epidemic prevention and control measures, supports the epidemic prevention and control with practical actions, minimizes the chance of personnel movement and cross-infection, and gains valuable time for conducting epidemiological investigations, nucleic acid testing, and epidemic control .

　　"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. The general public friends have given us great understanding, support and cooperation. We are deeply moved. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the general public!

　　Yasheng Sidike said that as the scope of nucleic acid testing continues to expand, sporadic cases and asymptomatic infections have emerged one after another. According to domestic and foreign experience and epidemiological rules, asymptomatic infections will still have a considerable number of cases after the incubation period. Converted to a confirmed case. Therefore, completing the city's free nucleic acid testing in the shortest time is a very important and critical task for the current epidemic prevention and control. The expert group of the State Council and experts from the autonomous region and Urumqi City are also making further assessments of the development of the epidemic based on the results of nucleic acid testing and epidemiological investigations. 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.

　　He said that 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. I hope that citizens and friends will continue to cooperate with the prevention and control work, unite and work together, and resolutely use the shortest time to win this epidemic prevention and control battle, so that Urumqi will return to normal production and life order as soon as possible.

Strengthen services to ensure the work of nearly 7,000 nucleic acid sampling personnel

　　Yasheng Sidike also said that since the outbreak, in order to speed up the full coverage of nucleic acid testing, nearly 7,000 nucleic acid sampling personnel, 10 nucleic acid testing teams and 24 nucleic acid testing institutions set up and supported by the National Health Commission have mixed Organize to carry out nucleic acid testing and fight day and night on the front line of epidemic prevention and control. Nucleic acid testers wore airtight protective clothing, took samples in a high-temperature open air environment, raced against the virus against the clock, and laid a solid foundation for Urumqi to win the fight against the epidemic. "I express my deep respect to them. !"

　　According to him, Urumqi has further strengthened its service guarantee work in order to let the frontline staff of nucleic acid testing devote themselves to their work.

　　One is to improve the working conditions of nucleic acid testing personnel. Set up shade tents for the samplers, set up relatively comfortable resting places, improve working conditions, regularly distribute heatstroke prevention and cooling beverages, mung bean soup, etc., and reduce working time through shifts.

　　The second is to strengthen the overall deployment of protective materials. Strictly implement the safety protection measures for medical personnel, and make every effort to ensure the supply of medical masks, protective masks, protective clothing, goggles and other protective equipment for front-line personnel in nucleic acid testing to ensure the safety of front-line personnel.

　　The third is to strengthen the logistics support for front-line personnel. Provide clean and convenient dining services and a safe accommodation environment for front-line personnel, formulate reasonable dietary supplements, provide high-calorie, high-protein, and high-vitamin meals, and arrange private transportation to ensure commuting. For front-line personnel who feel unwell or have difficulties at home during work, arrange to return as soon as possible and actively provide assistance.

　　The fourth is to allocate a full-time service guarantee team. Equip each nucleic acid testing team with a full-time service guarantee work team composed of city, district (county), street (township), and community (village) leaders to fully coordinate and implement the division of labor and material allocation for each link of nucleic acid testing , Provide a strong organizational guarantee for nucleic acid testing.
