China News Service, Beijing, July 21 (Reporter Du Yan) From 0:00 to 24:00 on July 20, Beijing had no newly reported confirmed cases, suspected cases, and asymptomatic infections, and 12 cases were cured and discharged. This is the 15th consecutive day that Beijing has had no new confirmed cases since the newly-occurring wholesale market cluster epidemic occurred on June 11.
The Beijing Municipal Health Commission stated on July 21 that as of 24:00 on July 20, Beijing had reported a total of 335 confirmed cases since June 11, 104 in hospital, and 231 cured and discharged. 12 cases of asymptomatic infection are still under observation.
As of July 20, there were no high- and medium-risk areas in Beijing, and all streets and towns in the city were low-risk areas.
The latest work conference on epidemic prevention and control held in Beijing pointed out that the adjustment of Beijing’s emergency response level to level three for public health emergencies is an important sign of normalization of prevention and control. However, the level adjustment does not mean "removing the alarm", but rather to prevent it. The control work puts forward higher requirements.
The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to insist on "foreign defense import" without relaxation, and all measures for management of entering Beijing must be strictly in place. Adhere to the move forward of the gate, strictly control the inbound international flights, coordinate the implementation of the nucleic acid negative certificate requirements for passengers entering Beijing before boarding, and strictly implement closed-loop management and centralized observation for passengers entering Beijing. Strictly control the entry of personnel from high-risk areas into Beijing, implement measures such as verification of nucleic acid test certificates before boarding (car) of flights and trains into Beijing, and body temperature testing, and strengthen the verification and inspection of highway inspection stations.
The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to continue to do a good job of "internal defense rebound" and strictly prevent cluster epidemics. Emphasize the prevention and control of key places, key units, and key populations, and strictly enforce the epidemic prevention of markets, restaurants, canteens, construction sites, hospitals, schools, prisons, entertainment and other units and employees. Strengthen the normalized prevention and control of communities. Strictly implement measures such as appointments, current limiting, peak shifting, and diversion in public venues. Closed places such as movie theaters should be opened cautiously, and prevention and control measures should be strictly implemented.
The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to accelerate the resumption of work and production, and the resumption of business and the market, so as to boost economic and social development and citizens' consumer confidence. Promote the follow-up disposal and resumption of the wholesale market in Xinfadi in an orderly manner. The flow of people across provinces increases during the summer, and supporting prevention and control measures must keep up. The education system, various schools, and training institutions do not organize gathering activities such as summer camps and study tours. Various cultural facilities and scenic spots must strictly implement the epidemic prevention requirements and strictly prevent gatherings. (Finish)
