News 1+1丨How about the flow and traceability of Urumqi? Is the epidemic basically under control? Bai Yansong connected experts to interpret for you
As of 24:00 on August 6, Xinjiang (including the Corps) currently has 643 confirmed cases, including 9 critically ill and 19 critically ill. How about the treatment of existing confirmed cases in Xinjiang? In "News 1+1" on the evening of the 7th, Li Pengxin, deputy secretary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Party Committee and commander of the Autonomous Region Epidemic Prevention and Control Command, interpreted the current situation.
Q:
The number of newly confirmed cases in Urumqi in the past week has all been below 35. Does it mean that Urumqi is basically under control?
A:
Li Pengxin: I can't say that yet. After the outbreak, the autonomous region has adopted a series of measures, especially through two rounds of screening, which can be summarized in three sentences: ①The high incidence of cases has been controlled; ②The effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control measures is further emerging; ③The epidemic The trend for the better is expanding further.
Q:
What are the things that should be done well in Urumqi's next epidemic prevention and control?
A:
Li Pengxin: The next step is to continue to grasp five things and not let go: ( 1) Internal non-proliferation. After receiving the report from Urumqi on the 16th, the headquarters activated the emergency response mechanism and pressed the "pause button" in Urumqi. The hustle and bustle of the city fell silent overnight, and a series of measures were taken for us to find the pathogen. , Blocking the source of infection won a window period. ②External defense input. Since the entire city has been under control, citizens of Urumqi will not leave their homes or leave Urumqi as long as there is nothing to do to prevent the export of cases. ③ To carry out circulation in a timely manner to find the source of infection, and at the same time to find out and isolate close contacts at the first time. The state attaches great importance to it and dispatched an expert team to assist us in the circulation. ④The country has also sent a team of experts to go all out to carry out the treatment of infected patients, and it is now proceeding in an orderly manner. ⑤For nucleic acid screening, there is a difference between the case this time and the beginning of the year. The main symptoms of the patient at the beginning of the year were fever and cough. This time the patient was asymptomatic in the initial stage. Observing from the naked eye, he did not cough, fever, or fatigue, so The best way to find is through nucleic acid testing. At this stage, nearly 75% of the cases are screened through nucleic acid testing, so we are working hard on nucleic acid testing.
Q:
Has the source of the outbreak in Urumqi become clearer?
A:
Li Pengxin: According to the staged analysis of the epidemiological investigation, the expert group agreed that the epidemic was manifested as a single source. In other words, by sequencing the genes of previous cases, multiple results showed that the sequence of its test samples was basically the same. Shows that the source of the epidemic was due to exposure from the same source of infection. At present, the traceability work is still continuing and we are still looking for the source, so that we can better and more accurately control the spread of the epidemic, especially to better prevent it. Now we are further carrying out flow adjustment and traceability work.
Q:
Will it be less difficult to treat the epidemic in Urumqi? How about the treatment of severe and critical illness?
A:
Li Pengxin: From the comparison of data, the proportion of severe and critically ill patients (of confirmed cases) accounts for 3.87%, which is higher than the proportion of severe and critically ill patients in the recent domestic cluster epidemic, so the task of treating patients is still very arduous of. As of 24:00 on August 6, Xinjiang has received a total of 723 confirmed cases, including 19 severely ill and 9 critically ill. A total of 80 have been cured and discharged. There are currently 643 confirmed cases treated in hospital, with asymptomatic infections. 186 cases. Through case analysis, among the confirmed cases this time, mild and ordinary patients accounted for a relatively large number, 96.13%, and the majority were young and middle-aged infected. The age of onset of infection is mostly between 35 and 60 years old, which basically accounts for 90%, and there are more asymptomatic infections. After the outbreak, it affected the Party Central Committee and the State Council. Therefore, the joint meeting mechanism of the State Council dispatched a domestic first-class expert group in time. Now the expert group is taking a series of treatment measures with critically ill experts formed by the autonomous region to rescue every patient. Now the entire rescue work is proceeding in a scientific, orderly and orderly manner.
Q:
Since this wave of epidemics, Urumqi has done a lot of circulation. What is the situation?
A:
Li Pengxin: In the first half of the year, we have accumulated a lot of successful experience in the prevention and control of the epidemic. When a patient appears, an epidemiological investigation must be carried out as soon as possible. We use some big data platforms and experts, including community workers, to carry out circulation. Through flow adjustment, first, the close contacts should be separated for the first time to prevent cross diffusion. Second, the source can be traced through flow adjustments and the source can be found, so that future measures can be taken to effectively block the source of infection. Through this stage of work, the number of cases currently onset, including those admitted after the 28th, is increasing rapidly, with a relatively large increase. These are all within our encirclement and have been isolated. Therefore, the adoption of medical observation has enabled us to effectively block the source of infection. It has also provided us with further screening during medical observation, finding confirmed cases, and timely and accurate measures, providing effective assistance.
Q:
What is Urumqi's current nucleic acid detection capabilities?
A:
Li Pengxin: Since the outbreak, the autonomous region has taken a series of measures in time, including pressing the pause button, to gain time and a window for screening cases. Compared with the beginning of the year, this time is characterized by mostly asymptomatic. Nearly 75% of them were detected through nucleic acid screening. Therefore, we pay more attention to the role of nucleic acid screening in the prevention and control of this epidemic. The joint meeting mechanism of the State Council attaches great importance to the emergency dispatch of medical teams to Xinjiang from 11 provinces and regions to improve our nucleic acid testing capabilities. Together with our integration of the autonomous region’s nucleic acid testing capabilities, Urumqi’s current nucleic acid testing capabilities can reach 800,000 per day.
Q:
What is the current progress of nucleic acid testing in Urumqi?
A:
Li Pengxin: Nucleic acid screening in Urumqi has been carried out twice. From the day before yesterday, the focus has been to conduct a comprehensive screening of isolated hotels and isolated places. The second is to carry out another screening of some key communities where the disease has occurred. The third is to conduct another screening on the social side. Through screening every five days, patients can be "fished out" to the greatest extent, society can be kept as clean as possible, and the conditions of virus infection or sources of infection can be reduced, so that Urumqi will be safe. From the current point of view, this work is progressing in an orderly manner, and we have transferred tens of thousands of medical staff from the whole district to participate in the sampling work. From the ability of epidemic detection to sampling, including the construction of sampling teams, a lot of work was organized in a short period of time, and the majority of medical workers have made significant contributions to this.
Q:
Urumqi has conducted two nucleic acid tests on citizens. Is it because the first 14-day quarantine period from July 15th and 16th to July 30th is the second 14-day quarantine period? So did it twice?
A:
Li Pengxin: Yes. At the beginning of the epidemic, nucleic acid testing capacity was limited, and it was conducted once mainly in key communities, including isolation places. The second time is a comprehensive screening. Now with the improvement of nucleic acid testing capabilities, we will conduct the third and fourth screenings on key populations and isolation places, and also conduct the second screening on the social side. The second major screening, so that after passing this screening, patients can be found to the greatest extent.
Q:
What services and guarantees has Urumqi provided to citizens after the outbreak?
A:
Li Pengxin: The government has adopted a series of measures to protect the production and life of citizens. ① Organize the majority of party members and cadres and community workers to ensure the basic livelihood of the citizens, to ensure that some elderly people, including patients with basic diseases, need to see a doctor in time, and to ensure that some patients can be admitted to the hospital in time. ②Isolation service agencies have been established in the community to address the demands of some people, and a special appeal telephone has been set up to answer the appeals of the people 24 hours a day, and respond in time to help solve some problems. From the current point of view, the community and the broad masses of cadres and the masses are actively working hard and have won the active cooperation of the citizens. Therefore, the work is progressing very smoothly. Everyone is also fully cooperating in the nucleic acid test, and the difficulties that can be overcome are being overcome. The government is going all out to provide guarantees and services, a full range of services, not only in charge of daily life, vegetables and other guarantees, but also to protect their medical needs. Looking at it now, Urumqi’s social management work, including after the ban, is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the basic needs and protection of the masses can be met.
Q:
How to live the Gurban festival under the epidemic?
A:
Li Pengxin: The Gurbang Festival is a traditional festival for the people. For the festival, we have increased the protection of vegetable products for the general public. ① Increase beef and mutton slaughter. We slaughtered 1,700 cattle and sheep to ensure the supply of common people. At the same time, we increased the supply of vegetables. The slaughter of poultry reached 33,000, and the transaction increased by 30%. ②Start the release of municipal reserve meat, and implement fresh meat release for beef and mutton. From July 29 to August 12, fresh beef and mutton were released for 15 consecutive days. It is expected that the stock will reach 200 tons, and the amount of beef must reach 150 tons. ③Ensure the supply of vegetables and fruits. When Xinjiang arrives this season, the self-sufficiency rate of vegetable supply can reach 75%. This season, Xinjiang's melons and fruits are fragrant, so the supply of vegetables, including the supply of melons and fruits, can be effectively guaranteed, and it can continue to satisfy the citizens' "vegetable basket". ④ Xinjiang’s self-sufficiency in meat, eggs, and milk is sufficient to ensure sufficient supply in Urumqi. At the same time, the government also attaches great importance to the protection of oil, electricity, gas, water, and coal. Now the entire security work is progressing in an orderly manner, and the financial subsidies for this area have been increased, including holiday delivery, etc., and all tasks are in place.
Q:
How to prevent the export of cases after Urumqi?
A:
Li Pengxin: After the outbreak, according to the unified arrangements of the autonomous region, the citizens of Urumqi, including cadres and employees, have nothing to do without going to Urumqi, not going to other places, let alone going out of Xinjiang, and strictly preventing the export of cases. At the same time, non-regions, including all prefectures, do not enter Uganda or visit Uzbekistan for anything. If something happens, follow the relevant policies for epidemic prevention. Including those from outside Xinjiang, if there are no special things, they will generally not enter. If you enter, you will be quarantined for 14 days after entering the high-risk area and the medium-risk area. As long as the green code and bar code meet the health code requirements from other areas, they can pass normally. Except for Urumqi, normal traffic can be guaranteed. Urumqi now basically adopts the principle of not leaving Urumqi. There are also people in Xinjiang who were in Xinjiang before pressing the pause button. After the expiration of the quarantine period for 14 days in the past two days, passengers and tourists staying here will be treated in a point-to-point manner. Tourists are gradually sent out of the territory.
Q:
Under what conditions will the Urumqi epidemic control measures be lowered?
A:
Li Pengxin: Next, in response to the Urumqi epidemic, especially after we have passed two rounds of nucleic acid tests and passed expert assessments, we will implement precise policies in accordance with the requirements of the joint meeting mechanism of the State Council to carry out epidemic management and control work in different regions and levels. Consolidate the hard-won results of prevention and control, and gradually return to normal production and life in an orderly manner.
Q:
What is the focus of work in the closing phase of the Urumqi epidemic? worry about what?
A:
Li Pengxin: The government has adopted a series of measures to protect the production and life of citizens. ① Organize the majority of party members and cadres and community workers to ensure the basic livelihood of the citizens, to ensure that some elderly people, including patients with basic diseases, need to see a doctor in time, and to ensure that some patients can be admitted to the hospital in time. ②Isolation service agencies have been established in the community to address the demands of some people, and a special appeal telephone has been set up to answer the appeals of the people 24 hours a day, and respond in time to help solve some problems. From the current point of view, the community and the broad masses of cadres and the masses are actively working hard and have won the active cooperation of the citizens. Therefore, the work is progressing very smoothly. Everyone is also fully cooperating in the nucleic acid test, and the difficulties that can be overcome are being overcome. The government is going all out to provide guarantees and services, a full range of services, not only in charge of daily life, vegetables and other guarantees, but also to protect their medical needs. Looking at it now, Urumqi’s social management work, including after the ban, is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the basic needs and protection of the masses can be met.
