(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Wearing a mask is very important! Guangdong officials: Lu Feng's case wears masks throughout the journey to reduce the risk of infection
China News Service, Guangzhou, August 22 (Cai Minjie) Recently, "frozen food" has become a hot topic in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Many places in Mainland China have reported that the outer packaging of frozen chilled products has positive nucleic acid, and the risk of COVID-19 contamination in the cold chain link still exists.
Mai Jiaomeng, director of the Guangdong Provincial Market Supervision Administration Bureau, introduced at a press conference held by the provincial people’s government on the 22nd that after the employees of the “Hema Xiansheng” supermarket in Shenzhen tested positive for nucleic acid, the provincial farmer’s market work team organized 36 All Hema fresh food stores and 12 associated warehouses and processing companies carried out a comprehensive investigation. So far, the results have been negative except for those who have been notified of asymptomatic infections. At present, Hema stores in Guangzhou and Foshan have all resumed normal business.
Since July 13, Guangdong Province has carried out a total of 349,300 nucleic acid tests for imported frozen meat and aquatic products, and no new positive samples have been found from August 14 to now. Mai Jiaomeng said that in view of the long-term survival of the virus in a frozen, humid, unventilated environment, and the complex environment and large flow of people in farmer markets, shopping malls and supermarkets, epidemic prevention and control must not be relaxed.
In addition, the Guangdong Provincial Market Supervision Administration completed the development of the "Guangdong Province Frozen and Frozen Food Quality and Safety Traceability System" small program and put it into operation, initially realizing the province's precise supervision of frozen and frozen food, guiding and urging cold storage operators to report inventory and new arrivals in a timely manner Information on imported frozen meat and aquatic products in the warehouse.
As of 17:00 on August 21, more than 4,000 cold storage operators storing imported frozen meat and aquatic products in Guangdong Province have used the system to report data. They have reported 7,681 receipts and 3104 receipts. At the same time, we will continue to strengthen the supervision of the entire chain of imported food, and implement the system of ticket request and ticket announcement for imported frozen meat and aquatic products.
Deng Huihong, director of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced at the press conference that, judging from the handling of Shenzhen and Shanwei, the epidemic was discovered in its embryonic state and timely prevented and controlled. “The sporadic cases that occurred this time will not affect universities, middle schools, and primary schools. The start of school as scheduled will cause an impact".
According to Deng Huihong, there were 63 close contacts in one confirmed case of Lu Feng, of which 3 were found to be asymptomatic infections, and they were the daughter, son, and niece of the confirmed case.
Deng Huihong said that through the epidemiological investigation, the confirmed case of Lu Feng departed from the residence in Shenzhen by Didi on August 6 and arrived at Lufeng's hometown by subway and long-distance bus. At that time, the case was contagious, especially when taking a long-distance bus, staying in a confined space for 4 hours, the risk of spreading to others was high. However, because this case wears a mask throughout, the risk of transmission is reduced. After the case arrived at Lu Feng's hometown, he ate, communicated, and contacted with his children and relatives, and the risk of spreading to others was high. The above three family members were infected one after another, the nucleic acid test was positive, and they were diagnosed as asymptomatic infections.
Since January 26 this year, Guangdong has insisted on wearing masks scientifically. According to the monitoring of the province’s disease control centers at all levels, in the first half of this year, the reported incidence of respiratory infectious diseases in Guangdong except for new coronary pneumonia was 29.24 per 100,000, a decrease of 16.39% from the same period last year. "This data shows that in the first half of this year, the new crown pneumonia During the epidemic prevention and control period, the public insisted on wearing masks to reduce the risk of respiratory infectious diseases spread by droplets."
Duan Yufei, director of the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission, stated at the press conference that the new crown pneumonia epidemic has not yet ended, especially the global epidemic continues to spread, and the number of new cases per day remains at a high level. Overseas "unblocking the epidemic" and foreign trade The demand for exchanges has increased, the number of inbound flights at ports in Guangdong Province has continued to increase, the foreign crew members of international ships have tested positive for the new crown virus, and the closed-loop management of exempted personnel’s health monitoring still needs to be strengthened. The risk of imported epidemics from high school risk areas at home and abroad still cannot be ignored .
"Some time ago, a flight detected 18 asymptomatic infections, and one flight detected 15 asymptomatic infections. At present, 40,000 people in the province have been quarantined for 14 days after entering the country by overseas flights. Huge pressure.” Duan Yufei said that Guangdong Province has frequent foreign exchanges and personnel exchanges. There is still a risk of imported epidemics in various parts of the province. “These overseas flights have more positive cases, which brings greater risks of overseas imports.”
Duan Yufei stated that Guangdong will notify Hong Kong and Macau of the epidemic situation in a timely manner, closely follow the development trend of the Hong Kong epidemic, strengthen communication and coordination and joint prevention and control between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao; implement nucleic acid testing, port quarantine, health screening, community management, etc. Full-process management, strengthen the “three points and one line” closed-loop management of cross-border truck drivers’ port points, operating points, residential points, and transportation routes; do a good job in the prevention and control of epidemics in key populations such as small ship crews and floating fishermen between Shenzhen and Hong Kong; promote electronicization Measures such as customs clearance, health code conversion and mutual recognition.
Duan Yufei said that Guangdong is currently deploying localities to normalize the prevention and control of the epidemic. At the same time, it focuses on fever clinics, detection capabilities, staff, medical treatment capabilities, emergency supplies, isolation sites, joint quarantine at ports, influenza and other autumn and winter infectious diseases prevention and control. Make preparations for the prevention and control of the epidemic in eight aspects. (Finish)
