On December 8, at the press conference of the State Council's Joint Defense and Joint Control Mechanism, a reporter from China News Agency asked a question. They were concerned about the phenomenon of "hard isolation" measures in some places, such as sealing doors with iron sheets, etc., and the public's opinions on this Also big.

I would like to ask if there are any requirements for further optimization measures in this regard?

He Qinghua, a first-level inspector of the Department of Communication and Prevention of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that in response to the "hard isolation" measures strongly reflected by the masses, the new ten optimized this time clearly require that it is strictly forbidden to block fire exits, unit doors, and community doors in various ways. Ensure the smooth flow of access for people to go out for medical treatment, emergency escape, etc.

The practice of adopting "hard isolation" and sealing it off is not precise prevention and control, but laziness and neglect of government, disregarding the safety of people's lives and property, which must be resolutely stopped.

  He Qinghua said that for the areas that need to be sealed off, the party committee and government of the closed area must make a clear account, the situation is clear, and the service is in place. The quarantined personnel must be caring and caring for the quarantined people. It must be both strong and warm. At the same time of sealing and controlling, door-to-door services should be strengthened to ensure daily life and normal medical care.

Promote the establishment of a docking mechanism between communities and specialized medical institutions to provide convenience for the elderly living alone, minors, pregnant women, disabled people, and patients with chronic diseases.

Strengthen care, care and psychological counseling for people under quarantine, patients, and front-line personnel, provide psychological assistance hotlines, and carry out psychological support services. Once people with mental health problems are found, they should be referred in time.

At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen publicity and guidance, strive for the understanding and cooperation of the masses, and build a solid foundation for mass defense and mass control.
