　　On June 1, Beijing held the 352nd press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Xu Hejian, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, director of the Municipal Government Information Office, and spokesperson of the municipal government, reminded that the current epidemic in Beijing has been effectively controlled, but The re-emergence of social cases shows that the risk of epidemic rebound still exists.

All districts, departments and units should improve the holiday prevention and control plan, strengthen the investigation of hidden dangers, and let the masses spend a healthy, safe and peaceful Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

　　Since April 22, the Beijing Omicron epidemic has been fierce, with obvious characteristics of rapid and insidious transmission.

With the strong support and cooperation of the general public, and on the premise of maintaining the functions of the capital and the normal operation of the city, Beijing has scientifically prevented and controlled the epidemic, and has always controlled the epidemic at a low level, avoiding a large-scale rebound of the epidemic. The prevention and control results are not easy to come by.

　　The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is coming soon. After a period of lockdown control and working from home, many people plan to relax their mood during the holiday.

At present, in addition to the closed control area, Beijing's scenic spots, scenic spots, and parks have been reopened one after another, shopping malls have resumed business one after another, and museums, art galleries, and fitness venues have also begun to limit traffic.

It is probably the urgent desire of many people to go to the Beijing suburbs homestay resort to breathe a few breaths of the mountains and fields of early summer, and invite relatives and friends who have not seen each other for a while for a small gathering.

　　Letting life return to normal is exactly what we aim to win the battle of epidemic prevention and control.

However, the risk of a rebound of the epidemic in Beijing still exists at the moment, and the more critical stage it is to overcome the difficulties, the less slackening will be tolerated.

Especially when the end of the epidemic situation and the Dragon Boat Festival holiday come together unexpectedly, we must work hard to ensure that the Dragon Boat Festival holiday will not become a springboard for the epidemic to rebound.

　　For every citizen, a short-distance self-driving tour around Beijing is still not a wise choice, and it will take some time for family and friends to gather for dinner.

The short holiday is only three days, and it is still the best choice to celebrate the festival locally and simply in the current situation of epidemic prevention and control.

Even if you go to indoor scenic spots, scenic spots, and parks, you should pay attention to making reservations in advance, stagger the peak hours, prepare a negative nucleic acid certificate, wear a mask, and maintain a safe distance from others.

　　For shopping malls and shopping centers, promotions and other activities that may cause crowds to gather must not be held during the Dragon Boat Festival.

It is not yet the time to see a surge of customers and a surge in sales.

Controlling passenger flow, strictly preventing people from gathering, and strictly regulating management reflect the social responsibility of the company.

　　During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, community and village checkpoint guards cannot relax because of the holiday, and none of them, such as temperature measurement, code scanning, and nucleic acid negative certificate inspection, can be ambiguous.

The epidemic prevention measures that have been proved to be effective should not be relaxed because of the short and long vacation, and the hard-won results of epidemic prevention should not be wasted.

　　It should be mentioned that the current nucleic acid testing in Beijing implements key screening and normalized testing in parallel. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the normalized nucleic acid testing service must keep up.

In the past few days, many citizens have reported that the queuing time at the normalized nucleic acid sampling point is too long.

According to regional characteristics, population size, personnel flow and other factors, increasing the number of points and dynamically adjusting the testing time can allow citizens to enjoy more intimate testing services during the small and long vacation, and cut off the virus transmission chain for the first time. pass.

　　On this basis, relevant parties should also pay close attention to the festive life of citizens in the lockdown control area, and strive to create a festive atmosphere.

Even hanging a banner or sending a group message of condolences is a lot of psychological comfort to the residents of the closed control area.

　　The upcoming Dragon Boat Festival holiday is a holiday in the process of transforming Beijing's anti-epidemic struggle to normalized epidemic prevention and control.

The three-day holiday is not only a "review" of the previous prevention and control results, but also a severe test for the critical period of tackling the fortifications. All parties in the society must not slack off.
