(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) When will Shanghai be able to clear its society?

Liang Wannian: It is necessary to cut off the continuous spread of social aspects

　　China News Service, Shanghai, April 10 (Reporter Li Chun) Liang Wannian, the head of the expert group of the National Health Commission of China's New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Response and Disposal Work Leading Group, and the executive vice president and professor of the Vanke School of Public Health and Health, Tsinghua University, on the 10th. Shanghai pointed out that cutting off the continuous spread of the epidemic in society is a very important criterion for realizing the social zero of the epidemic in Shanghai.

　　Liang Wannian said widespread community transmission is now happening in Shanghai.

In this case, we must consider the whole society and suppress the epidemic so that the continuous spread at the social level will not happen again.

　　The expert pointed out that to determine whether the social aspect is cleared, in addition to the data of newly infected people reported every day, it is also necessary to see whether the continuity of the spread of the epidemic has been cut off, which is a very important indicator to measure the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control.

"It doesn't mean that there is no more patients in Shanghai to be cleared, but it means that the continuous transmission of the society has been cut off, which is a very important criterion."

　　The second aspect is that the newly infected people found are all under control.

Liang Wannian said that at present, Shanghai has not done this. The number of cases reported every day is still partly screened from the community and key populations.

This is also the reason why Shanghai has conducted round after round of nucleic acid testing for all staff.

　　"If one day all our new cases are among the close contacts, or these key groups in our field of vision, are found through active screening, I think, at this time, we have reached the social level' The goal of dynamic clearing." Liang Wannian said.

　　The expert also pointed out that the inflection point of the decline of the epidemic in Shanghai should be based on the implementation of the responsibilities of the Quartet and the further implementation of various prevention and control measures.

"With all of us working together, the inflection point of decline will surely appear as soon as possible." (End)
