[Explanation] On April 11, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference. At the meeting, Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, made an analysis of the epidemic situation in Ruili, Yunnan.

  [Explanation] Wu Zunyou said that the virus survives for a long time in low temperature conditions, and people move in poorly ventilated indoors at low temperatures, which is more likely to cause transmission.

However, this time Ruili is located in the warm zone of southwest China, and the epidemic is still occurring, indicating that the implementation of prevention and control measures is more important.

  As long as the prevention and control measures are in place, even if the temperature is low, the epidemic can be controlled at a low level or not occurring.

If prevention and control measures are not in place, epidemics will occur even if the temperature is high.

  Ruili's epidemic has given us two lessons: First, the global new crown epidemic is still in the high-level epidemic stage of a pandemic, and the pressure of overseas imports has not alleviated.

The second reminder is that although our country has gone through the severe winter and the big examination of the movement of people during the Spring Festival, the normalized prevention and control measures cannot be relaxed at all.

  [Commentary] Wu Zunyou pointed out that in dealing with the new crown pneumonia epidemic, vaccines are a very important prevention and control strategy.

  During this response, Ruili also initiated vaccination of the entire population.

Ruili has a prominent geographical location and is located on the border. Due to its unique geographical location and socio-economic activities, the small border town of Ruili has a higher risk of entering the new crown pneumonia epidemic than other places. It should be said that it is for everyone to get the people vaccinated in time. protection of.

  [Commentary] Wu Zunyou said that at present, with the control of the Ruili epidemic, China has returned to a good situation where there are no cases of local community transmission. This has opened the "green light" for traveling during the May Day holiday, but at the same time, we must always keep in mind the prevention and control of the epidemic. Still can't relax.

  Especially during the holidays, do not organize or participate in large-scale gatherings, dinner parties and other gathering activities. During travel, always remember the implementation of normalized prevention and control measures, wear masks, maintain social distancing, wash hands frequently, and often ventilate. , These measures must be adhered to.

As long as each of us can implement normalized prevention and control measures, we can prevent the possible occurrence of the new crown epidemic and at the same time enjoy a good spring time.

  [Commentary] Wu Zunyou emphasized that as long as the overseas epidemic is not well controlled, it is still a very important task to implement prevention and control measures to prevent the import of overseas epidemics.

Everyone should always pay attention to maintaining the awareness of normalized prevention and control, and insist on taking normalized prevention and control measures.
