China News Agency reporter Xing Yan Li Yanan

As China continues to fight the epidemic, the epidemic situation in different regions is currently different. Chinese officials have proposed that differentiated prevention and control strategies be formulated in different areas and levels, so that work can be resumed accurately. In the critical period of China's epidemic prevention and control, why "area classification" and "area classification"? The State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism conference on the 25th responded.

Why "zone classification"?

According to the latest data released by the National Health and Medical Commission on the same day, there were no new cases of confirmed cases in 23 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps on the 24th. The proportion of existing severe cases in Wuhan fell to 22%. At the same time, there were still 508 new confirmed cases nationwide, including 499 cases in Hubei, 530 new suspected cases nationwide, and 373 in Hubei.

He Qinghua, first-level inspector of the CDC of the National Health and Health Commission, believes that Wuhan, Hubei is still the main battlefield for epidemic prevention and control in the country. At the same time, efforts should be made to prevent and control the epidemic in Beijing, and cut off the source of infection and transmission channels as much as possible.

This shows that China's epidemic prevention and control situation has shown a positive trend, but the situation in some areas, such as Hubei, is still severe. "At present, the development situation of the epidemic situation is not the same everywhere. If we continue to work at the provincial level, not only the lack of targeted and scientific prevention and control measures, but also the restoration of economic and social order." Director of the Social Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission Ou Xiaoli said.

Therefore, comprehensively considering the effectiveness and accuracy of relevant measures, the so-called "zoning classification" means that according to the severity of the epidemic situation outside Hubei Province and Beijing, it is divided into three levels at the county level, that is, low-risk areas, medium Risk areas and high risk areas.

Different levels of the region have different guidance strategies-"external defense input" in low-risk areas, "external defense input, internal non-proliferation" in medium-risk areas, and "internal non-proliferation, external defense output, and strict control" in high-risk areas.

However, He Qinghua emphasized that zoning classification is a dynamic adjustment process, and risk levels can be adjusted and announced at any time as the epidemic situation changes. "When the number of cases continues to decline steadily and the risk of epidemic spread is effectively controlled, provinces and cities should promptly reduce the level of emergency response by region or terminate the emergency response."

How to "Partition Hierarchy"?

Under the epidemic situation, how should production and living, personnel mobility and material security be carried out in different risk areas?

At the press conference, in terms of resumption of work and production, low-risk areas should comprehensively restore production and living order, remove restrictions on road access, and help enterprises solve problems and problems in terms of employment, raw materials, capital equipment, etc .; medium-risk areas should be restored as soon as possible. In normal production and living order, organize personnel to return to work in an orderly manner, so that the prevention and control of the epidemic and the resumption of production by enterprises can be promoted simultaneously; high-risk areas should be effectively expanded after the epidemic is under control.

In terms of life, He Qinghua believes that even residents in low-risk areas must do a good job of personal protection and reduce unnecessary crowds. It is recommended to wear masks in densely populated places, and to adopt partitioned operations, scattered meals when returning to work and resume production, and in closed places. Wear masks properly at work and minimize working hours, while doing self-health monitoring.

The process of returning to work and production must involve personnel movement. He Qinghua said that people from high-risk areas to low-risk areas need to receive health consulting services, and medical institutions in low-risk areas can achieve early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment; medium-risk areas need to accurately determine the isolation sites and Controlling personnel, personnel travel will be limited; while high-risk areas still have to stop gathering activities and implement regional traffic control according to law.

In terms of protection of medical supplies, there are different methods in different risk areas. Shu Zhaohui, the second inspector of the Department of Industrial Policy and Regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, said that Hubei Province and Wuhan City and other high-risk areas still need to do their best to ensure medical supplies. For Beijing and other key areas, The degree of shortage is classified and allocated, and the supply of medical supplies in short supply should be ensured in accordance with the principle of ensuring priority and urgent needs. In principle, the provinces and municipalities where low risks are located should ensure the supply of medical supplies in accordance with the principle of possession.

On the 24th, 9 new cases were confirmed in all countries except Hubei. He Qinghua said that this situation means that a large number of counties will continue to enter low-risk areas. "While these low-risk areas do a good job of epidemic prevention and control, they must make overall plans to promote social and economic development, comprehensively restore production and living order, ensure transportation and normal urban-rural transportation, and ensure normal travel of people and the normal circulation of production and living materials."
