(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) The epidemic situation in South Asia and Southeast Asia is rising rapidly Zhang Wenhong advises Yunnan to complete vaccination as soon as possible
China News Service, Kunming, June 5 (Miao Chao) "Recently, the epidemic of new crown pneumonia in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries around Yunnan has continued to rise rapidly, which has caused great pressure on the prevention and control of imported epidemics outside Yunnan." Director of China National Center for Infectious Diseases Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, said at the Yunnan Science Forum on the 5th that he suggested that Yunnan should complete the vaccination work as soon as possible.
Yunnan is located in the southwestern border of China, bordering Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, adjacent to South Asia and Southeast Asia, with a border of 4,060 kilometers.
Zhang Wenhong said that the recent epidemic situation in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries, including India, Myanmar, and Thailand, has rebounded, and the epidemic has continued to rise rapidly.
"Yunnan has a long border with no natural barriers. Currently, Yunnan is under greater prevention and control pressure than other places in China."
Zhang Wenhong suggested that Yunnan should consolidate the responsibilities of all aspects of epidemic prevention and control, including epidemic prevention and control at ports of entry and border lines, the setting of isolation points for immigration personnel and the mastery of movement trajectories, and regular nucleic acid testing for high-risk groups. After a link is finalized, it must be implemented without compromise."
Zhang Wenhong believes that vaccination is currently the best method of epidemic prevention and control.
"We can't avoid the occasional import of overseas epidemics, but those infected overseas must avoid epidemic outbreaks after they come in." He called on Yunnan to complete vaccination work as soon as possible and through large-scale vaccination, so as to greatly reduce the spread of the new crown pneumonia virus. Speed, so that its propagation coefficient is greatly reduced.
After that, he also cited the situation and effects of vaccination in Israel. Israel, with a population of about 9 million people, has completed about 70% of vaccination, forming a certain immune barrier, so its social activities have been opened.
"Israel now has 10 to 20 new crown cases every day. There will be no medical runs, so every patient can be treated very well." (End)
