China News Service, Beijing, April 29 (Reporter Xing Chong) Li Bin, deputy director of China's National Health Commission, said in Beijing on the 29th that since the end of February this year, China's epidemic prevention and control work has experienced the most severe test after the Wuhan defense war. China has always insisted on "dynamic clearing" without hesitation and unwavering. At present, the epidemic situation across the country is showing a downward trend.
On the same day, the State Council Information Office of China held a press conference on adhering to "dynamic clearing" to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control.
Li Bin said that since the end of February this year, in the face of the epidemic of Omicron mutants with significantly enhanced transmissibility and concealment, the epidemic situation in China has been characterized by multiple, widespread and frequent occurrences. hard situation.
"In this regard, we have always adhered to the 'dynamic clearing' without hesitation and unwavering, and coordinated the deployment of testing, flow adjustment, transfer, isolation, admission and other forces as soon as possible to curb the spread of the epidemic to the greatest extent possible." Li Bin said that at present, Jilin The clustered epidemics in many other places have been effectively controlled. The battle to clear Shanghai has achieved initial results, and the national epidemic has shown a fluctuating downward trend.
Li Bin said that the current global epidemic is still at a high level, and the virus is still mutating. Humans' understanding of the new coronavirus and disease is still in the process of deepening, and the risks and threats brought by the epidemic still exist.
China is a country with a large population, with unbalanced regional development and insufficient medical resources. If the epidemic prevention and control is relaxed and the virus is allowed to spread, a large number of people will be infected in a short period of time, resulting in a large number of severe cases and deaths. The stable economic and social development will severely affected.
Li Bin said that from the defense of Wuhan, to normalized epidemic prevention and control, to the whole chain of precise prevention and control against Delta and Omikron, China has always adhered to the general policy of "dynamic clearing", finding together and fighting together.
"Practice has proved that 'dynamic clearing' is the best choice for coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and it is the bottom line that my country's epidemic prevention and control must hold."
Li Bin also said that "dynamic clearing" is not absolute "zero infection". Facing the challenges of mutant strains such as Omicron, there is no ability to guarantee that there will be no local cases, but China has accumulated rich prevention and control practices. A set of effective prevention and control measures have been adopted, and according to the new changes in the virus and the new situation of the epidemic, the prevention and control measures have been continuously optimized and upgraded according to the situation.
Can the implementation of the "dynamic clearing" policy be adapted to local conditions?
In this regard, Li Bin said that epidemic prevention and control is an overall battle, and we must increase awareness of the overall situation and adhere to a game of chess across the country. If the "dynamic clearing" in some places is not resolute and decisive and flexible, the virus may take root locally, resulting in the rapid spread of the local epidemic. , epidemic spillover, and even cross-regional transmission, becoming the "spreader" and "amplifier" of the epidemic.
Li Bin said that under the premise of adhering to the general policy of "dynamic clearing", local governments are encouraged to explore and summarize some good experiences and practices according to the local epidemic situation and characteristics, so as to further improve the scientific and precise level of epidemic prevention and control, and strive to use the least cost. achieve maximum control effect.
