The national epidemic is generally under control
Hu Xiang, the second-level inspector of the Department of Communication and Prevention of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that at present, the epidemic prevention and control efforts in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia have achieved initial results, and the local outbreaks in Guangdong, Fujian, Heilongjiang, Hebei, and Henan are gradually stabilizing. The epidemic spread in many places, and the epidemic situation in the whole country is generally controllable.
Hu Xiang pointed out that as my country continues to face multiple pressures from the import of overseas new coronary pneumonia epidemics, the spread of local epidemics, and the high incidence of seasonal diseases such as influenza in autumn and winter, the risk of new coronary pneumonia cluster epidemics still exists, and there is a superposition of new coronary pneumonia epidemics and influenza epidemics. possible.
According to Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Peking University First Hospital, new coronavirus infection, colds and influenza are all viral diseases of the respiratory tract, but they differ in terms of infectivity, infection site, season of occurrence, clinical manifestations and treatment.
"We emphasize that once you have symptoms such as fever, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor, screen and check whether it is the new crown or the flu, and if it is the flu, you will receive targeted treatment." Wang Guiqiang said that the new crown is not simply a problem of early intervention with antiviral treatment, but also isolation to avoid further spread. At the same time, it is necessary to closely monitor the changes in the condition to prevent the development of severe disease, including the risk of exacerbation of underlying diseases.

Attaches great importance to public complaints
Duo Jia, a second-level inspector of the First Division of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that the recent public feedback mainly focused on the following three aspects: First, restrictive measures such as compulsory persuasion and isolation were taken for people from low-risk areas. Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, There are many such complaints in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province.
The second is to arbitrarily expand the scope of restricted travel from medium and high-risk areas to other areas. There are many such complaints in Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province and Zhengzhou City, Henan Province.
The third is to arbitrarily expand the scope of risk groups who take isolation and control measures. There are many such complaints in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
In addition, Tuojia mentioned that in addition to violating the "nine prohibitions" regulations, there are new forms of simplification, one-size-fits-all, and "layers of overweight" in handling the epidemic in some places.
One is the charges for isolation places.
Such as Bijie City in Guizhou Province and Nanchong City in Sichuan Province.
The second is to keep silent at will and close the city instead of control.
Such as Zhengzhou City, Henan Province.
In addition, public opinion monitoring found that individual areas restricted people's travel in the form of code-assigned pop-ups.
Tuojia said that the National Health and Health Commission and the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention attach great importance to complaints from the masses, transfer them in a timely manner every day, and supervise local inspections to deal with the problems reported by the masses.
She said that the simplification of prevention and control, one-size-fits-all, "adding code at every level" seriously violates the requirements of scientific and precise prevention and control, and efficient coordination of epidemic prevention and control and economic development. It is a serious formalism and bureaucracy, and must be resolute, decisive and scientific Do a good job in the current epidemic prevention and control work, and resolutely clean up and stop all forms of simplification, one-size-fits-all and "layer-by-layer" behavior. Relevant departments will promptly notify and urge rectification. If the rectification is not in place or not implemented, it will be seriously questioned in accordance with laws and regulations. responsibility.

The current protective measures are still important prevention and control measures
Omicron spreads fast and has strong concealment, and some studies have shown that the R0 value of BA.5 is very high.
In response to the above transmission characteristics, Wang Guiqiang said that the protective measures currently taken include wearing masks, hand hygiene, social distancing, etc., which are still very important means to control the spread of the virus and prevent infection, and still play a good role in the epidemic of mutant strains.
Hu Xiang said that the general policy of "dynamic clearing" will not be shaken. On the basis of summarizing the practice of epidemic prevention and control in various places and the effect of policy implementation, experts will be organized to continuously optimize and improve epidemic prevention and control according to changes in the incubation period, transmission and pathogenicity of the virus. control measures, improve the level of scientific and precise prevention and control, and further coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.
Hu Xiang introduced that as of November 4, the total number of people who have been vaccinated against the new crown vaccine nationwide has reached 1.33832 billion, and 1.272227 billion people have been vaccinated throughout the whole process, accounting for 92.48% and 90.24% of the national total population, respectively. %.
809.299 million people received booster immunizations, including 46.748 million people who received sequential booster immunizations.
The number of people over the age of 60 covered by vaccination and the number of people who are fully vaccinated account for 90.62% and 86.35% of the elderly population, respectively. However, the overall vaccination rate and the vaccination rate of booster shots for the elderly over 80 need to be further improved. This part of the population is easy to develop after infection Severe or even life-threatening people who need vaccine protection.
