China News Service, May 8 (Xinhua) According to the "Shanghai Release" WeChat official account, at the press conference on Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control work held on the morning of May 8, Zhao Dandan, deputy director of the Municipal Health Commission, introduced: On the 7th, a total of about 63 million people were screened for nucleic acid, and about 126 million people were tested for antigen.
The "antigen + nucleic acid" combined screening based on the three-zone division will continue to be carried out, in which the nucleic acid sampling will be carried out once a day in the sealed control area; the weekly "3-day nucleic acid + 4-day antigen" combined screening method will be adopted in the control area; Weekly "1 nucleic acid + 6 antigen" combined screening method, and enter and leave public places with a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours (if there are other requirements, follow the corresponding regulations).
For urban service support personnel in the flow of delivery, volunteers, etc., "1 nucleic acid + 2 antigen tests (8 hours between tests)" are carried out every day.
Zhao Dandan introduced that on May 7, Shanghai added 215 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 3,760 asymptomatic infections.
Among the 215 local confirmed cases, 80 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, and 135 were asymptomatic infected persons and turned into confirmed cases. It can be seen from this that 3,840 new positive infections were actually added yesterday.
Among the 3760 local asymptomatic infections, 3749 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, and 11 were found in the screening of relevant risk personnel.
Among the 11 cases of positive infection, 4 cases were found in the screening of key populations, 1 case was found in the screening in the control area, and 6 cases were found in the screening in the prevention area.
As of 24:00 on May 7, 412 severe patients and 84 critically ill patients had been treated in designated medical institutions.
On May 7, there were 8 new local deaths, with an average age of 80.6 years.
Eight patients were complicated with severe multi-organ chronic underlying diseases and malignant tumors, including systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephropathy, uremia, lung cancer, coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmia, severe hypertension, and cerebral infarction. , Alzheimer's disease, diabetes.
Of the 8 deaths, 1 had been vaccinated against the new crown vaccine, and the rest had not received the new crown vaccine.
The immediate cause of death was the underlying disease or malignant tumor.
Zhao Dandan said that as of 9:00 on May 8: the city has investigated a total of 779,404 close contacts in Shanghai, and all of them have been put under control.
Yesterday, 941 local confirmed cases in the city were discharged from hospital, and 9,839 asymptomatic infected persons were released from centralized isolation and medical observation.
On May 7, the city was divided into 10,094 closed control areas, involving a population of about 2.45 million; 18,299 control areas, involving a population of about 3.82 million; and 47,263 prevention areas, involving a population of about 17.02 million.
Zhao Dandan said that from May 1 to 7, a total of about 63 million people were screened for nucleic acid, and about 126 million people were tested for antigen.
We will continue to carry out the "antigen + nucleic acid" combined screening based on the three-zone division, in which nucleic acid sampling is carried out once a day in the closed area; the control area adopts a weekly "3-day nucleic acid + 4-day antigen" combined screening method; the prevention area Take the method of "1 nucleic acid + 6 antigen" combined screening per week, and enter and leave public places with a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours (if there are other requirements, follow the corresponding regulations).
For urban service support personnel in the flow of delivery, volunteers, etc., "1 nucleic acid + 2 antigen tests (8 hours between tests)" are carried out every day.
At the same time, in order to ensure that "no one is missed and no one is left behind", "sweeping the street, sweeping the building, and knocking on the door" will be carried out to strengthen the inspection of enterprises, construction sites, shops along the street, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, hotels, and social mobility. , and assign a yellow code to the health code of those who have not been inspected. Therefore, the majority of residents are requested to actively fulfill their obligations of epidemic prevention and control and participate in every inspection and screening.
Thank you again for your support and participation!
Zhao Dandan pointed out that Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control is in a critical period of "going against the current, not advancing or retreating", and we cannot relax or slack off.
It is necessary to unswervingly adhere to the general policy of "dynamic clearing", deepen the "ten actions" to promote clearing, and resolutely implement the requirements of "receivable collection" and "should be separated", so as to block the spread of the epidemic in the community as soon as possible.
At the same time, it is necessary to adhere to scientific flow coordination and control, and it must not be simplistic and one-size-fits-all.
"We have also noticed the emergence of new coronavirus variant strains in Shanghai, and here's an explanation: our city continues to carry out gene sequencing of new coronavirus samples, and the sequencing results show that the virus genotypes of infected people reported in our city's local epidemic recently are mainly Austrian Micron BA.2 and BA.2.2 mutants, no new mutants with stronger transmission have been found so far." Zhao Dandan said.
