Since December, there have been local epidemics in six places. Is Spring Energy Saving to return home?
Since December, the temperature has continued to drop in most parts of the country, and sporadic epidemics have appeared in many parts of China.
In less than half a month, local confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections have appeared in these six places in Jiaozhou, Shandong, Chengdu in Sichuan, Manzhouli in Inner Mongolia, Dongning, Suifenhe, and Turpan, Xinjiang.
Among them, Dongning City's New Coronavirus Pneumonia Emergency Prevention and Control Work Headquarters also issued a notice on the 12th. Strict traffic control will be implemented at 0:00 on the 13th, and personnel and vehicles are not allowed to leave the local area.
Right now, New Year's Day and Spring Festival are approaching, accompanied by an increase in the flow of people and logistics. What is the situation facing the domestic epidemic prevention and control?
In this regard, many authoritative experts have recently given their judgments.
In an interview with the media, Wu Zunyou, chief expert of epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reminded the public that in places where an epidemic has occurred, the probability of an epidemic reoccurring in winter is greater than in other places.
But this does not mean that there will be no epidemics in other places. Epidemics may occur in all places where foreign people and objects enter.
He emphasized that after the beginning of winter, most countries abroad have seen a sharp increase in the number of new crown pneumonia epidemics, and the number of infected people and contaminated items are increasing.
For domestic anti-import, anti-person and anti-material aspects, both have increased pressure.
In such a global context, China has seen many sporadic cases, which is a normal phenomenon in normalized prevention and control.
Regarding the risk of the spread of the epidemic during the Spring Festival, Zeng Guang, a member of the high-level expert group of the National Health Commission and the former chief epidemiology scientist of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, analyzed that during the National Day this year, there was also a large-scale movement of people. I have done a stress test, and facts have proved that as long as the prevention and control measures are appropriate, the risk is completely controllable.
However, experts emphasized that the situation is different during the Spring Festival. On the one hand, the scale of population movement during the Spring Festival travel period is much larger than that during the National Day holiday. On the other hand, the lower the temperature in winter, the longer the virus can survive. Visiting friends and large-scale indoor gatherings will also increase the risk of the spread of the new crown epidemic, so the risk of epidemic prevention and control during the Spring Festival will definitely increase.
Zeng Guang believes that although there is a large flow of people during the Spring Festival, as long as there is no infected person in the population, there will be no major epidemic with a wide spread.
From this perspective, it is no problem for everyone to go home for the New Year during the Spring Festival.
However, this year's Spring Festival is definitely not encouraged to visit each other, or large-scale indoor gatherings.

Fever clinics are ready to wait and strictly implement the first clinic responsibility system
In fact, in order to deal with the risk of the spread of the epidemic in winter and spring, the health department has been ready to fight.
Earlier this month, at a press conference on the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the CDC of the National Health Commission, said that recently, the National Health Commission has re-mobilized and re-deployed the national winter epidemic prevention and control work. A national team of prevention and control experts was formed, and online training and actual combat exercises were carried out. At present, a total of 2.95 million people across the country have participated in the training.
In response to the clustered epidemics in some areas, the National Health Commission also dispatched a national expert team to guide the epidemic management.
Data from the National Health Commission also shows that, according to incomplete statistics, so far, more than 7,000 fever clinics have been completed in general hospitals above the level of the country.
In addition, recently, the National Health Commission also issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Establishment of Fever Clinics in Primary Medical and Health Institutions."
The aforementioned "Notice" has clearly required the establishment of fever clinics in qualified township health centers and community health service centers.
The fever clinic shall strictly implement the responsibility system for the first consultation, and shall not refuse to diagnose or refuse to send and receive fever patients.
All patients who go to the fever clinic must register valid identity information or scan the "health code".
In addition, according to requirements, primary medical institutions need to conduct nucleic acid testing and routine blood tests on all fever patients. If they do not have the testing capability, they need to provide testing services for fever patients through cooperation with other medical institutions or third-party testing agencies.

Defend the characters! Railways and civil aviation adopt strict epidemic prevention measures
During the two festivals, especially after the start of the Spring Festival, the flow of people will increase significantly.
How to reduce the risk of the spread of the epidemic during the Spring Festival Transport and do a good job of "personal protection" is the key task of railways, civil aviation and other departments.
For example, the National Railway Group has previously stated that in order to minimize the risk of the spread of the epidemic through railways, the railway department has adopted various measures such as strengthening the prevention and control of railway vehicles, implementing ventilation and disinfection measures, strengthening the management of railway staff, and strengthening emergency response.
In addition, the railway department will adhere to the implementation of the inspection system for cold-chain food and other goods, and cooperate with the local government prevention and control department to do a good job in nucleic acid testing and random inspections, and strengthen the prevention and control of the epidemic situation of cargo transportation; Carry out disinfection, improve disinfection effect, and keep records, etc.
The Civil Aviation Administration stated that it will set up a leading agency for the Spring Festival transport work based on previous years’ arrangements and combined with the requirements for epidemic prevention and control, and formulate a guarantee plan. It will effectively strengthen the Spring Festival transport work in terms of epidemic prevention and control, safe operation, capacity guarantee, regular flights and passenger services Organizational leadership.
In addition, the Civil Aviation Administration earlier revised and issued the sixth edition of the "Technical Guidelines for Preventing and Controlling Epidemics in Transport Airlines and Transport Airports." In the new edition of the guide, the anti-epidemic risk levels and prevention and control requirements for cargo flights have also been added, as well as cold chain, Preventive disinfection of key links in air logistics such as freight and luggage, and protection requirements for key positions such as freight personnel and luggage personnel.

When
returning home on New Year's Day and
Spring Festival, remember these suggestions!
For the upcoming New Year's Day and Spring Festival holidays, what suggestions do experts have for epidemic prevention and control?
Zeng Guang said that first of all, everyone should take personal protection when returning home during the Spring Festival. For example, wear a mask during the whole journey on trains and planes. If you find that the person next to you is not wearing a mask, remind him to wear a mask; Pay attention to personal hygiene in the car. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze. If you find that your body temperature is too high, you should report it in time; now stations, airports, trains, and airplanes have disinfectant and wash your hands frequently.
Secondly, during the Spring Festival when you return to your hometown, you should try to avoid going to confined spaces with many people indoors, and reduce visiting relatives and friends and gatherings with a large number of people.
In addition, winter is also a period of high incidence of influenza and pneumonia. Zeng Guang suggested that influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine should be vaccinated first.
Because once you are infected with flu or pneumonia, your body's resistance will decrease, which is not conducive to the resistance to new coronary pneumonia.
If the new crown pneumonia vaccine is available before the Spring Festival, everyone can also get the new crown pneumonia vaccine.
For elderly people over 65 years old and suffering from basic chronic diseases, Zeng Guang does not recommend long-distance and exhausted travel during the Spring Festival. It is also a good choice to stay there for the New Year.
Because once this population is infected with the new coronavirus, it will be more difficult to treat.
Wu Zunyou said that the focus should be on the detection of asymptomatic infections, and regular nucleic acid testing for high-risk groups.
In addition, in the industry, especially those engaged in imported cold chain items and any imported international items, they must conduct regular nucleic acid tests and share the results with the society in a timely manner.
