Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Sanya has carried out centralized inspections of closed places such as KTVs and bars in the city, requiring strict implementation of the prevention and control requirements of "suspended business".
In addition, Sanya has launched a special work mechanism for canceling bookings in the tourism and accommodation industry, properly doing a good job of canceling orders due to force majeure factors such as the epidemic, simplifying the cancellation process and improving the efficiency of refunds.

Go all out to prevent proliferation and spillover
It is worth mentioning that Hainan Province issued a notice on the 4th saying that in view of the recent new round of new crown epidemic in the central fishing port of Yazhou, Sanya City, Hainan Province, it has brought new challenges to the production, life, safety and health of people in coastal areas of Hainan Province.
We urge all fishermen and friends in the province to consciously cooperate with governments at all levels and epidemic prevention and control departments to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, so as to achieve "no testing, no going out", "unsafe, no sea", and take the initiative to implement the following prevention and control measures:
According to Hainan's requirements, all fishermen in the province must complete nucleic acid tests five times a week, voluntarily report to the sea, and return to Hong Kong for testing.
On the 3rd, Feng Fei, Governor of Hainan Province, asked at the video dispatching meeting of the province's epidemic prevention and control to pay close attention to key areas and key groups such as "fishing boats, fishing ports, fish markets, fishermen, and fishmongers", strictly implement territorial responsibilities, and strengthen Grassroots management to plug the loopholes in prevention and control.
He also demanded that Sanya should further strengthen control measures, ensure that the nucleic acid screening should be checked every day, and the daily inspection should be carried out to prevent the spillover of the epidemic.
On the afternoon of the 3rd, Zhou Hongbo, member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee, emphasized when supervising the prevention and control of the epidemic at some road checkpoints in Sanya, that the strictest measures and the highest efficiency should be used to strictly implement the epidemic prevention and control measures and go all out to do it. Do a good job of non-proliferation and anti-spill, and ensure the safety of the city and the health of citizens and tourists.
On the same day, the Sanya Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision issued the "Notice on Further Adhering to Strict Control and Loyalty to Encourage Party Members and Cadres to Act Actively in Epidemic Prevention and Control".
The notice requires that we resolutely rectify outstanding problems such as inadequate or excessive implementation of epidemic prevention at the grassroots level, and continuously enhance the overall effect of epidemic prevention and control.
In addition, the notice requires that the majority of party members, cadres and public officials in the city should establish the concept of the supremacy of the people, dispel their concerns, unload their burdens, go to battle lightly, face difficulties, make every effort to get through blocking and difficult problems, and focus on solving emergencies and emergencies. Implement prescribed policy measures.
