Strengthen inspection and control of transportation hubs and hotels

  Pang Xinghuo said that the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted whole genome sequencing on the sample of Infected Person 2 notified on March 8. The results showed that the virus belongs to the Omicron variant (BA.2 evolutionary branch), which is similar to that of Beijing’s previous locality. The homology with the imported Omikron case is low, and it is highly homologous to the Omikron case reported by other provinces on March 4.

Based on the results of epidemiological investigation and gene sequencing, it is preliminarily believed that the source of infection of infected person 2 is another province.

  She said that at present, the global epidemic is showing a trend of high incidence, with local confirmed cases reported in many places in China, and the city's epidemic prevention and control faces dual risks at home and abroad.

Beijing must implement the "quartet responsibility" and strictly control the management of entering Beijing in accordance with the requirements of scientific precision, strictness in it, strict prevention and dynamic clearing.

Continue to adhere to the prevention and control principles of strictness, swiftness, and rigor, and quickly carry out case investigations and risk personnel investigations to effectively block and reduce the risk of epidemic transmission.

  Pang Xinghuo pointed out that airports, stations, road checkpoints and other transportation hubs, hotels, hotels, homestays, schools, units, etc., have strengthened inspection and control, and strictly implemented various prevention and control measures such as temperature measurement and code inspection, and nucleic acid certificate inspection in accordance with relevant regulations.

Inter-provincial conferences, trainings and other activities are not held in Beijing. If you need to hold them, it is recommended to participate remotely in the form of video.

Risk personnel should report to relevant departments such as the community (village) where they are located in a timely manner, and cooperate with the implementation of control measures.

Continue to strengthen nucleic acid testing and health monitoring in medium and high-risk areas, key industries, key groups, and people entering and returning to Beijing.
