The first zero new confirmed cases of the Dalian epidemic in Urumqi continues to decline

  There were no new confirmed cases in Dalian on the 4th. This is the first time that the city has reported zero new cases since the first case of the epidemic was reported on July 22. As of 24:00 on the 4th, Dalian had a total of 89 confirmed cases in this epidemic, including 39 cases of employees of a seafood company and 13 cases of contacts of employees of the company.

  The Dalian Municipal Market Supervision Administration said on the 5th that since the outbreak of the epidemic, Dalian immediately investigated the operation of a seafood company’s stores, imports and sales, and took measures such as suspension of sales and off-shelf storage; storage and sales of Ecuadorian frozen vannamei shrimp Re-inspect and re-dispose of each link, supervise dealers to stop selling and seal up frozen shrimp produced by the three companies involved after March 12, and focus on imported aquatic products, imported meat and other imported foods (including health products), etc. Strengthen quality and safety supervision.

  On the 4th, there were 22 newly confirmed cases and 13 asymptomatic infections in Xinjiang, all in Urumqi. As of 24:00 on the 4th, Xinjiang currently has 618 confirmed cases (614 in Urumqi), 122 asymptomatic infections (120 in Urumqi), and 16,318 people are still under medical observation.

  The Urumqi Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated on the 5th that the number of confirmed cases in Urumqi continued to decline, and the newly confirmed cases on the 4th were all detected through nucleic acid screening. From the 4th, Urumqi will start a new round of nucleic acid testing in key areas, key populations, and high-risk groups.

The traceability of the young and middle-aged people infected with the epidemic in Dalian, Xinjiang is still progressing in an orderly manner

  Jiao Yahui, the inspector of the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission, said on the 5th that the two epidemics in Xinjiang and Dalian have the common characteristics of rapid initial development, mostly young adults, and mild and common cases. Through various prevention and control measures, the rapid development of the epidemic situation in the two places has been effectively controlled. Now prevention and control, treatment and traceability are still in the process of orderly progress.

  According to statistics, in this epidemic, the average age of Xinjiang cases is 35 years old, and the average age of Dalian cases is 41 years old.

  Jiao Yahui also revealed that after the outbreak, the National Health Commission quickly dispatched an expert team to the two places to conduct epidemiological investigations and quickly discover potential sources of infection. In response to the Xinjiang epidemic, relevant circulatory personnel and information technology personnel have used big data and other information technologies to pass large-scale nucleic acid testing and screening, and have basically achieved full coverage of testing and circulatory for all relevant personnel. The traceability of the epidemic is currently ongoing work, including virus isolation and cultivation and nucleic acid gene sequencing. Once the results are available, they will be announced in an appropriate manner.

  China's nucleic acid day detection capacity has reached 4.84 million nucleic acid detection reagents, the overall detection rate of more than 95%

  Wang Jiangping, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at a press conference held on the 5th that as of the end of July, China's daily nucleic acid testing capacity reached 4.84 million, achieving "should inspections" and "willing inspections." The production capacity of nucleic acid detection products has been greatly improved. The weekly production capacity of nucleic acid detection reagents reached 46.48 million copies, and the weekly production capacity of nucleic acid detection equipment reached more than 1,200 units, with a large production capacity.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology said that through emergency research, the sensitivity of China's nucleic acid detection reagents has been continuously improved, and the overall detection rate has reached more than 95%; the detection time has been continuously shortened from more than 4 hours before to about one hour now. The fastest product can produce results in 30 minutes; the automation of testing equipment has been continuously improved, and the integrated testing of "sample input and result output" has been realized; the variety of testing products is continuously enriched, which can meet the application of different scenarios demand.

  The Ministry of Science and Technology pointed out that China’s testing reagent research and development has generally formed a technical system covering multiple technical routes and multiple product series. The technical level and product performance are at the same level as those of developed countries such as Europe and the United States. Some products are even leading and basically It can meet the testing needs of the current domestic epidemic prevention and control. (Finish)
