(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) The current epidemic situation in China is still running at a high level. "Dynamic clearing" is still the best choice

　　China News Agency, Beijing, April 12 (Reporter Xing Chong) According to official data, from March 1 to April 11, a total of 325,303 local infections were reported in mainland China, affecting 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). ).

China's National Health Commission stated that the current epidemic is still running at a high level, and the scope of the epidemic has further expanded, and prevention and control is in a critical period.

　　Based on the characteristics of the Omicron strain being more contagious, spreading faster and more insidious, as well as the phenomenon of asymptomatic and mildly infected people in the local epidemic situation, should the epidemic prevention and control be “cleared” or “flattened” ”, or is there a third way that allows the virus to spread at a low level?

The press conference of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism held on the 12th made it clear again that "dynamic clearing" is in line with China's actual situation and is the best choice at this stage.

　　Is Omicron "weak" or "strong"

　　As Omicron has gradually become a popular virus strain, claims that Omicron is "not lethal" and "zero severe" are rampant.

Recently, in many places in China, it was found that confirmed cases had contact with positive items during source tracing, but the phenomenon of "human-to-human transmission", especially non-cold-chain items, did not occur frequently in mutant strains before, which also worried many people. Has the ability to survive outside the body increased?

　　Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that according to research and monitoring, the Omicron variant can actually lead to severe illness and death, especially for the elderly who have not been vaccinated and those with chronic underlying diseases. The death rate is still high.

　　For example, judging from the epidemic data released by the WHO, during the epidemic of the Omicron variant, the number of global cases not only reached the highest peak in history, but also the number of deaths. 15,000 cases.

　　As for the probability of Omicron's "human-to-human transmission", Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the survival time of the virus on the surface of objects depends on the amount of pollution and the temperature, humidity, light, and ultraviolet rays in the environment.

Generally speaking, the risk of human infection caused by surface contamination is relatively small, but if there is repeated contact and personal protection is not paid attention to, the risk will increase significantly.

　　Wu Zunyou also reminded that the mutation of the new coronavirus has continued, and a person can develop a certain immunity after being naturally infected with the new coronavirus, but this immunity is not enough to prevent re-infection, and the immunity does not last for a long time.

The study also found that the risk of reinfection after infection with the Ormicon strain was higher than the risk of infection with the delta strain after infection with the delta strain.

　　Vaccination over 3.3 billion doses is still an important prevention and control measure

　　According to the latest official data released by China, as of April 11, a total of 3.328 million doses of the new coronavirus vaccine have been reported nationwide, and 1.244923 billion people have completed the whole course of vaccination.

　　Experts believe that China's implementation of the "dynamic clearing" epidemic prevention strategy is to do everything possible to protect the health and life safety of the people. played a huge role in reducing deaths.

　　Wang Huaqing said that vaccination has a very good effect on preventing the new crown, especially the severe disease and death caused by the Omicron strain.

Citing research data, he said that three doses of the new coronavirus vaccine can reduce the risk of severe illness and death by more than 90%.

　　At present, the number of people over 60 years old in China has reached 224.777 million.

Lei Zhenglong, deputy director and first-level inspector of the National Health and Medical Commission's Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, believes that vaccination for the elderly benefits significantly The person completes the booster immunization in time.

　　Wu Zunyou said that after many attempts, some countries could not find an ideal strategy to control the new crown, so they simply "laid down". This "helpless choice" has led to a substantial increase in the number of cases and deaths.

"More than two years of prevention and control practices in my country have proved that 'dynamic clearing' is in line with China's actual situation, and it is the best choice for my country to control the new crown epidemic in a timely manner at this stage."

　　Smooth "last 100 meters" material distribution

　　The spread of the epidemic has brought challenges to the work of ensuring the supply of daily necessities in the market.

Under the "dynamic clearing" prevention and control strategy, how to ensure the distribution and supply of materials is closely related to the lives of people in the epidemic areas.

　　Recently, there is a "one-size-fits-all" control over the passage of freight vehicles and distribution and warehousing in some areas in China, which has led to a decline in cross-regional capacity and affected supply guarantees. Some cities have also experienced "last mile" and "last 100 meters" logistics. And other issues.

The Chinese official has issued a notice a few days ago, requiring all efforts to ensure the smooth transportation of important production materials.

　　Li Danghui, deputy director of the Department of Market Operation and Consumption Promotion of the Ministry of Commerce, said that the joint insurance and joint supply mechanism of "multiple parties helping one party" has been launched for key areas of epidemic prevention and control. Guarantee joint supply.

In particular, she mentioned that on the basis of summarizing the experience in the prevention and control of closed management areas to ensure supply, it is necessary to replicate and promote new experience and new practices in anti-epidemic and supply protection.

　　For example, she took the “Four Ones” terminal delivery model including “building a WeChat group in one building” and “asking residents’ needs once a day” as examples. The efficiency of household necessities.

　　Prices of agricultural and sideline products in China have also fluctuated recently.

Xu Zhengbin, deputy director of the Economic Operation Regulation Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that since mid-March, vegetable prices have risen significantly, especially in Shanghai, Changchun and other places, due to the frequent outbreak of epidemics, which has caused logistics obstructions and rising costs.

Recently, with the implementation of measures to ensure supply and stabilize prices in various places, prices have begun to gradually fall.
