(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Beijing Adds 5 New Local Nucleic Acid Positive Persons to Strengthen Epidemic Prevention Management of Winter Olympics Service Support Personnel

  China News Agency, Beijing, January 19 (Reporter Chen Hang) From 0:00 to 18:00 on the 19th, 5 new cases of local nucleic acid test positives were added in Beijing.

Beijing will adhere to the integrated promotion of Winter Olympics epidemic prevention and urban epidemic prevention, and strengthen epidemic prevention management for Winter Olympics service support personnel and volunteers.

  This is what the reporter learned from the Beijing New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Work Conference on the 19th.

  Liu Xiaofeng, deputy director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that from 0:00 to 18:00 on the 19th, there were 5 new cases of local nucleic acid test positive in Beijing.

4 people are cold storage loader and unloading workers in the same unit, and the other is a close contact with the same unit, and they are engaged in cold storage loading and unloading work together.

  Liu Xiaofeng said that Beijing has carried out epidemiological investigations and close contact tracing to investigate risk points, and classify and control all types of risk personnel.

  According to the briefing at the press conference, the 5 cases of people with positive nucleic acid tests and the surrounding areas have been put under control, and nucleic acid testing and environmental sampling for relevant personnel have been started.

  Li Ang, deputy director and spokesperson of the Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission, said that hospitals should unblock the emergency and critical treatment channels, and reasonably set up emergency rescue rooms, operating rooms, and ward buffer zones for the treatment of critically ill patients. Abnormal itinerary code, typical symptoms of new coronary pneumonia such as fever, no negative nucleic acid test results, or test results exceeding the time limit are reasons for delaying treatment.

  Xu Hejian, a spokesman for the Beijing Municipal Government, said that the current epidemic prevention and control situation is severe and complicated. The Omicron strain spreads faster and is more insidious. It is intertwined and superimposed with the delta virus, which brings greater risks to epidemic prevention and control.

  He said that recently, there have been new local confirmed cases and positive nucleic acid tests in Haidian District, Chaoyang District, Fangshan District, and Fengtai District of Beijing.

  Xu Hejian said that it is necessary to persevere in social and normalized prevention and control; adhere to the integration of Winter Olympics epidemic prevention and urban epidemic prevention, and strengthen epidemic prevention management for Winter Olympics service support personnel and volunteers.
