  Why did Guangzhou upgrade the two places to medium-risk areas on June 11, add another medium-risk area on June 13, and unblock 11 areas when two medical staff confirmed the diagnosis on June 14?

"The epidemic situation in the unblocked area is obviously under control. Medical staff are basically isolated from their families and communities in the hospital, and it is difficult to spread the virus outside." In an interview with reporters, the executive chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Institutional Reform Research Association Peng Peng analyzed that hierarchical prevention and control should be "increased and decreased," otherwise it would not be scientific hierarchical prevention and control.

  Since the outbreak of this round of the epidemic in late May, Guangzhou has introduced a series of timely, decisive, and effective hierarchical prevention and control measures. The city has divided two high-risk areas and a dozen medium-risk areas. The streets inside are closed, sealed, and closed-loop management. A total of more than 36 million large-scale nucleic acid tests have been carried out. Nucleic acid tests for all employees have covered 11 districts in the city. Key areas such as Liwan, Yuexiu, and Haizhu even conducted three rounds of all employees. Screening.

"Laoguang" people did not panic and actively cooperated to detect infection cases as soon as possible and block the spread of the epidemic.

  According to the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, from May 21 to June 13 at 24:00, a total of 146 domestic infections were reported in Guangzhou in this round of the epidemic, including 139 confirmed cases and 7 asymptomatic infections.

From 0:00 to 24:00 on June 13, 4 newly confirmed cases were confirmed in the city, all of which were found in close contact with quarantined hotels.

  "Most of the recent new cases in Guangzhou have come from closed control areas and quarantined observers." Xu Qingfeng, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission and director of the Provincial Bureau of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said recently. Experts believe that the epidemic situation in Guangzhou is tending to ease. Actively develop in a good direction.

  In this round of the Guangzhou epidemic, it has been confirmed that the infection is a mutated virus found in India. The incubation period is short, the transmission speed is fast, and the viral load is high. It is the first time that community transmission has occurred in mainland China.

In the face of this more "cunning" virus, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, Guangzhou and Guangdong have also adopted effective prevention and control measures in terms of inter-city and inter-provincial movement of people.

The State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism stated at a press conference on the 11th that no related cases have been found in other provinces, and only a limited number of cross-regional transmissions have occurred in Guangdong Province, and prevention and control measures have been taken in a relatively timely manner.

  The current round of the epidemic also promoted the immunization of the new crown vaccine among the residents of Guangdong province to a certain extent, speeding up the construction of the population's immune barrier.

As of 24:00 on June 12, Guangdong province had a total of 85,856,900 doses of vaccination, a total of 65,447,600 inoculations, and a total of 21,077,800 people had completed the entire vaccination.

  During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, vaccination in the whole province of Guangdong is “not closed”.

In the early morning of June 14th, at the largest COVID-19 vaccination site in Guangzhou's Panyu District, Qifu Hospital, people lined up for hundreds of meters, and the scene was in order.

“I had my first injection last month, and it’s been 21 days. I made an appointment through a community group last night and came here today for the second injection.” said Ms. Zhong, a resident of the Bianfuhui community, hoping that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible and return to a normal life. And work.

  "The current round of the epidemic in Guangzhou is expected to be basically contained in July, but the epidemic in more than one month will slow down the annual GDP growth rate by 0.5% to 1%. This year, the total GDP of Guangzhou may be surpassed by Chongqing." In the coming years, after the epidemic in Guangzhou, economic losses should be reduced to a minimum. As the epidemic eases, restrictive measures should be gradually lifted and economic operations should be restored as soon as possible.

  In fact, during the critical period of epidemic prevention and control, Guangzhou's economic construction continued, and China's southern door to the outside world was always open.

In the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City, as the first key project in the Sino-Singapore International Technology Innovation Cooperation Demonstration Zone, the main project of the "Knowledge Tower" has recently started as scheduled, and the construction is in full swing, and it will be built into a landmark building of the Knowledge City.
