There were 19 suspected cases and 4 severe cases. So far, no deaths have occurred in prisons due to new coronary pneumonia. No other prisoner outbreaks have occurred in other prisons across the country.
Xiong Xuanguo said that the spread of the prison epidemic reflected loopholes in prison management and the prevention and control of the epidemic.
In this regard, he pointed out that the first is not enough thought. Wuhan Women's Prison, Hubei, is less than 100 meters away from Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital. The prison police officers commute to work and the patients in the pulmonary hospital are in the same bus stop. Before the full closure, the virus may have been imported.
Second, strict management is not in place. The Hanjin Prison in Hubei, Shilifeng Prison in Zhejiang, and Rencheng Prison in Shandong. The outbreaks in these prisons were caused by individual police officers who misrepresented contact with personnel in the affected area in Hubei. After the contact, they did not report truthfully and incomplete isolation, resulting in Enter the case.
Xiong Xuanguo said that the spread of the epidemic in prisons fully exposed the lack of deep ideological understanding in these places, the strict management of police officers, the weak implementation of preventive control measures, and serious formalist and bureaucratic problems in the work.
He emphasized that the outbreak in the prison has profound lessons, and the national prison system must resolutely implement the spirit of General Secretary Jinping ’s important speech and important instructions, and fully understand the particularity, complexity, severity, and extreme importance of prison epidemic prevention and control. Strictly closed management, strict implementation, strict responsibility, and strict accountability, resolutely put an end to loopholes in prison management, and resolutely curb the spread and spread of prison epidemics.
Xiong Xuanguo also pointed out that we must do our best to help the rescue. Criminals who have fever or respiratory symptoms should be observed in isolation for the first time, and diagnosed criminals should be rescued in the same time as other members of society.
Xiong Xuanguo said that at present, one of the severely diagnosed criminals has been relieved by treatment, and 11 patients have been cured. (Finish)
