China News Service, Shanghai, March 13 (Reporter Chen Jing) Wu Fan, member of the expert group of the Shanghai Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Group and vice president of Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, said on the 13th that at present, "reducing flow + nucleic acid screening" is One of the strategies currently adopted by Shanghai is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of social dynamic clearing, block the spread as soon as possible, and achieve social dynamic clearing.
Lu Taohong, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, pointed out that Shanghai will be strict and careful to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control such as flow screening, isolation and transfer, nucleic acid screening, medical treatment, etc. The intensity and frequency of nucleic acid testing for the population and key industries, to find problems, plug loopholes, and keep normal medical channels open.
It is reported that the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have introduced a series of prevention and control measures, such as the transfer of primary and secondary schools to online teaching, the quasi-closed management of key areas, and the 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate after arriving in Shanghai.
Wu Fan explained that the outbreak was caused by the spread of the mutant strain of Omicron. The proportion of asymptomatic infections was high, the transmission was hidden, and early detection was difficult; simply screening in key areas or populations was not enough, and it was necessary to reduce personnel Mobility, reducing gathering activities, etc., to reduce or slow down the flow of people.
Wu Fan said that after positive cases appeared in some communities recently, Shanghai has implemented a period of closure and control management for these communities.
This kind of control measure is to reduce the mobility of the crowd in the shortest time, coupled with nucleic acid testing, to find potential infected people, to prevent the spread of the epidemic from the community to the society, and to prevent infected people from spilling out of the community to other places. .
"We have managed and controlled the areas that have infected people and are at risk. These community areas or units are getting smaller and fewer, and we have achieved social zero."
The expert pointed out that a school is a very crowded, high-density unit.
Shanghai has used online teaching to reduce student gatherings to prevent outbreaks in schools.
She frankly said that if people are still on the move, the social dynamic reset will become long and difficult to achieve.
Wu Fan appealed: The prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has brought a lot of inconvenience to people's normal life, but this inconvenience is short-lived.
"Everyone still has to be self-disciplined, reduce unnecessary going out and social activities, reduce social mobility, and cooperate with nucleic acid screening and personal protection."
Recently, the number of nucleic acid tests in Shanghai has surged, and many testing sites are queuing up. In this regard, Lu Taohong, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, said that this is mainly due to the rapid increase in the number of nucleic acid tests in a short period of time. Shanghai is taking measures to actively improve, I hope the public will understand.
Lu Taohong explained that recently, since the outbreak of the epidemic, the need for nucleic acid screening in control communities and people in high-risk positions has continued to increase, and the public's daily nucleic acid testing needs have continued to rise.
Nucleic acid testing includes many links such as sampling, sample transfer and reception, nucleic acid extraction and amplification, result review report and upload. The testing process requires inspection staff to work continuously in a closed negative pressure laboratory wearing "big white" ("three-level protection"). hours, and after a lot of tedious and complicated manual procedures, the detection can be completed.
He pointed out that in the face of the surging demand for nucleic acid testing, Shanghai requires all districts and units to continue to strengthen the management of nucleic acid testing services and make every effort to meet the nucleic acid testing requirements.
Shanghai will tap its potential and improve its nucleic acid testing capabilities. It requires medical institutions to mobilize back-up department medical staff to enrich the frontline of nucleic acid sampling and testing, increase sampling points, extend sampling service time, and optimize and adjust testing methods. Non-stop, non-stop specimen transfer, non-stop laboratory testing.
At the same time, relevant departments will standardize management to ensure orderly and safe sampling, require sufficient staff, volunteers, etc., strengthen the maintenance of on-site order at sampling points, reasonably control the number of people on site, and avoid gatherings in areas such as entrances, waiting, and sampling.
Shanghai will also strengthen the support of informatization services.
Information management also strives to ensure the smooth operation of the nucleic acid testing service information system by further mobilizing reserve resources, upgrading and expanding capacity, and ensuring bandwidth.
The deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission expressed the hope that the public must bring their ID cards and mobile phones before the test, and register in advance on platforms such as Health Cloud and Sui Application to generate a QR code. code” display and scan code preparation to further improve sampling efficiency.
