At 17:00 on August 2, the Information Office of the People's Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region held the 16th press conference and answered questions from reporters on the current situation of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Urumqi and its prevention and control work. Zhong Meiwen, deputy director of the Urumqi Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, gave a detailed introduction to the epidemic prevention and control work and the elimination of the farmers’ market.
Zhong Meiwen said that the whole city's farmers' markets are operating normally. The farmer’s market is highly mobile and frequent, and is an important area for epidemic prevention and control. Urumqi attaches great importance to the prevention and control of the epidemic situation in the farmer’s market, and formulates prevention and control plans in strict accordance with the requirements of the Comprehensive Group of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Mechanism in the Agricultural Trade (Market Trade) Market. Refine prevention and control measures, implement prevention and control personnel, and further strengthen the prevention and control of the epidemic situation in the farmer's market. The main measures are as follows:
One is to implement territorial responsibilities. District (county) party committees and governments strictly implement territorial management responsibilities, and effectively supervise and implement farmers' market organizers and on-site operators to assume the main responsibility for epidemic prevention and control and food safety. At the same time, market supervision and commerce departments further strengthen supervision and guidance.
The second is to strengthen personnel management. Strengthen the access management and health monitoring of key personnel such as market managers, operators, market entry traders, and transport vehicle drivers. Only after the nucleic acid test report (negative), body temperature measurement, information registration, and vehicle disinfection can enter the venue within 7 days of the inspection, the number of people entering the venue is controlled by time periods. Strictly implement epidemic prevention requirements such as wearing masks and hand disinfection, strengthen daily body temperature spot checks, and minimize personnel gatherings and collective activities. The district (county) health and health department conducts nucleic acid tests on market managers and operators once a week, and the results are negative before they can be employed.
The third is to increase environmental management. Maintain air circulation and regular disinfection in indoor gathering places, and conduct comprehensive sanitation and disinfection of business premises and tools before opening and after closing. Strengthen the monitoring and management of the environment in key areas such as market trading places, especially cold and fresh product trading places, and frozen products. Strengthen the equipment of epidemic prevention facilities in the market, sort and dispose of garbage, and clear and transport in time.
The fourth is to strengthen supervision and management. While supervising the farmers’ market organizers to strictly implement the prevention and control measures, they should increase on-site inspections, increase the frequency of inspections, promptly discover and deal with problems in epidemic prevention and control, food safety, etc., and increase the protection of imported foods, especially meat, aquatic products, Nucleic acid sampling inspections for cold and fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables, establish and improve emergency response plans, and respond to emergencies in a timely and scientific manner.
