At the press conference, a reporter asked: This year's Ching Ming Festival is at a critical period for the country to fight the epidemic and step up work and resume production. The situation is different from previous years. What considerations does the Ministry of Civil Affairs have for ensuring the protection of mass scenes during the festival? In addition to on-site sacrifice, what other sacrifice methods are adopted to meet the needs of the masses?
Fan Yu responded that the general requirement for places that provide sacrifice and sweeping work is to be safe, orderly, green and civilized, and to achieve the goal of peace and clarity. To achieve this requires all parties to work together. To strengthen organizational leadership and strengthen unified command, it is necessary to establish a strong working mechanism. It is also necessary to make plans for sacrifice, epidemic prevention and control, and emergency plans in advance, and make full preparations for emergency treatment. In addition, we must timely and accurately release information on epidemic prevention and control and management services related to sacrifice and sweeping, and conduct extensive publicity and guidance to let everyone know that there may be some restrictive measures this year to consolidate the results of epidemic prevention and control. Let everyone understand and support such measures.
Fan Yu added that cemetery and other funeral and interment service agencies should do a good job in the investigation and rectification of hidden safety risks, and prevent them before they occur. It is also necessary to implement necessary prevention and control measures, such as scientifically setting the carrying capacity of funeral and interment service agencies, taking appointments, limiting currents, time sharing, and peak shifts, including strengthening personal protection and disinfection of places, and other prevention and control measures. For aggravated epidemics, it is also necessary to advocate a sacrifice and sweep method of green and low-carbon civilization to prevent accidents such as fires. The guarantee of funeral and interment services shall be ensured, and efforts shall be made to provide the masses with thoughtful, detailed, and warm-up funeral services.
In addition, Fan Yu pointed out that to perform the service of on-site sacrifice and sweeping also requires the cooperation of the sacrifice and sweeping personnel, because everyone is responsible for preventing and controlling the epidemic and safety and clarity. It is suggested that the masses at the on-site sacrifice should observe the relevant local regulations and protect their own health and safety. There are five aspects to remind everyone:
The first is to comply with the pre-booking requirements. For example, in some places, people who live at home or after the intensive observation period are not allowed to make an appointment for on-site sacrifice and sweeping must be consciously obeyed.
The second is to go to the festival after the appointment is made according to the appointment time and the required number of people.
Third, from the time of entering the sacrifice and sweeping all the way to leaving, it is necessary to do personal protection as required, accept identity verification, temperature detection, and follow the guidance of the staff, do not get together or gather.
The fourth is to strictly abide by the requirements of fire management for sacrifice and sweeping, and resolutely put an end to illegal use of fire, burning paper, burning incense and firing cannons to prevent fire accidents.
Fifth is the civilization offering sweep. Advocate the use of dedication of flowers and other means to express your heart and resist uncivilized behavior.
"Everyone may feel very cumbersome, but after all, the epidemic situation has not passed. The requirements of" external defense input, internal defense rebound "must not be relaxed. We feel that the health and safety of the living is the best comfort to the deceased. Therefore, The masses participating in the on-site sacrifice should be well protected and follow relevant rules so that they can have a peaceful and peaceful Qingming Festival. "Fan Yu said.
At the press conference, Fan Yu also mentioned that, in addition to the on-site sacrifice, this year, in order to consolidate the results of epidemic prevention and control, this year also advocated innovative sacrifice-sweeping methods, attached importance to the inheritance of spiritual culture, and promoted the new funeral style of respect for life and green civilization. Encourage the following ways:
The first is to advocate thinking at home. The family of the deceased held a small family memory meeting, everyone recalled the virtues of the deceased, and passed on the spiritual culture of the deceased.
The second is to advocate online sacrifice. At present, civil affairs departments and funeral service agencies in various places have also opened platforms for online sacrifice. Family members of the deceased can log on to the platform to establish an online memorial space for the deceased, and put their griefs through online flower placement and message posting. In order to make the "Cloud Sacrifice Scanning" more secure, healthy, and clear, we must also do a good job of platform security protection, service guarantee, and maintenance management, which is convenient for the masses and that the content is legal and compliant.
The third is to provide public welfare collective sacrifice. Where conditions permit, the funeral service agency has carefully designed it to provide free collective sacrifice services. The staff can complete the solemn collective sacrifice and sweeping rituals. Family members can watch or watch the recording and broadcasting in real time. To make the sacrifice for the sweep more connotative.
The fourth is to provide personal sacrifice services. Conditional cemetery and other funeral service institutions can provide some personalized sacrifice services to the families of the deceased who are in need. Some of the services of the sacrifice service are free of charge, and some extended services are charged. For those who carry out paid sacrifice service, the service items and price must be publicized, and it must be clear to the masses that they must be legal and compliant, and must not be charged arbitrarily.
"In short, in addition to on-site sacrifice and sweeping, we will promote a variety of sacrifice-sweeping patterns and do our best to meet the needs of the masses to remember and remember the deceased." Fan Yu concluded.
