  This year, China's National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival will come on the same day, because most of the office workers who have been "home" for more than half a year are planning a trip or carnival for the next 8 days of holidays.

However, many experts reminded that although the local epidemic situation in mainland China has been temporarily controlled, it is still not 100% "safe" and there is a greater risk of a rebound in the epidemic.

Therefore, it is still necessary to be cautious when traveling in "double festivals" and try to avoid going to some border areas.

There are still hidden safety risks in epidemic prevention and control

  According to a report from the National Health Commission of China on the 21st, 12 new cases were confirmed in 31 provinces on the 20th, all of which were imported from abroad. This is also the 36-day continuous zero increase of local cases in mainland China.

  However, the global epidemic continues to spread. On the 20th, nearly 240,000 new cases were confirmed in a single day, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases has exceeded 31 million.

Under the high pressure of the global epidemic, the number of imported cases outside China continues to increase.

As of the 20th, a total of 2742 confirmed cases were imported from mainland China, and there are 173 confirmed cases, all imported from abroad.

  The Yunnan Provincial Health Commission recently notified Ruili City of 2 confirmed cases, both of which were illegal immigrants from Myanmar.

Although the nucleic acid test results in Ruili city are all negative, and there is no transmission in this case, as Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said, the cases in Ruili this time suggest that there are still loopholes and loopholes in border prevention and control weakness.

  The Health and Health Bureau of Fuyu City, Jilin Province revealed on the 20th that an imported squid whisker (10 kg) with a positive nucleic acid test in an outer packaging sample flowed into the city from Changchun, which once again sounded the alarm for epidemic prevention in all aspects of seafood imports.

  Many experts said that China is afraid that there will be an epidemic risk for a long time in the future. This risk mainly comes from overseas imports, some weak links that are easily overlooked, a very small number of asymptomatic infections that are difficult to diagnose immediately in the early stage, and due to the new crown. Uncertainty caused by the unknown of the virus.

Does not rule out the possibility of local outbreaks in autumn and winter

  As early as a month ago, Zeng Guang, the former chief scientist of epidemiology at the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview with China News Agency that the possibility of new crown pneumonia forming an epidemic peak in autumn and winter is relatively high.

  Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, held a similar view at a health forum on the 18th.

He said: "The new crown epidemic should continue to exist this winter and next spring, and local outbreaks are likely to occur." He emphasized that the control of the infection is the key to the prevention and control of the epidemic this winter and the next spring. In particular, we must be alert to asymptomatic infections who are showing symptoms. The five days before and after are the most contagious and the viral load is high.

  Ma Xiaowei, director of the National Health Commission, also pointed out a few days ago that the current epidemic is still spreading globally, and the risk of sporadic cases and local outbreaks in the country still exists. Respiratory diseases such as new coronary pneumonia and influenza are intertwined in autumn and winter, and the task of prevention and control is arduous.

  As early as the beginning of autumn, China has made comprehensive arrangements for the prevention and control of the fall and winter epidemics.

On September 18, the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism once again held a mobilization training meeting for the special supervision of epidemic prevention and control in autumn and winter, and announced that it will start special supervision of epidemic prevention and control in 17 provinces in late September, and urge all regions to plug loopholes in a timely manner , Make up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, and resolutely prevent the fall and winter epidemic from rebounding.

"Double Festival" travel try to avoid going to border areas

  The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China has just raised the upper limit of tourist attractions to 75% from the previous 50%, which may bring about an explosive increase in the number of domestic tourists during the "double festival" holiday.

  Zhang Wenhong, head of the Shanghai New Coronary Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Team and Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital, said that if there have been no new local cases in mainland China for more than a month, it can be said that there is a close to 100% probability that you will not encounter the new crown. Patient, but this does not mean that travel has reached 100% safety.

"We can only restore 90% of our normal life, and we are still under the'new normal' of epidemic prevention and control, rather than life has entered normalization."

  He believes that there is no problem with travel at present, and it is not necessary to wear masks in all environments, but there must be "appropriate tension" in crowded environments, especially when gathering with people who do not know each other.

Always keep clean and hygienic and indoor ventilation.

In the event of a fever or any clinical symptoms, it is necessary to see a doctor as soon as possible, so that the "anti-epidemic force" can screen at-risk patients in the shortest time.

  The Ministry of Culture and Tourism recently issued a notice on the opening and management of scenic spots during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, and it still emphasizes that A-level tourist spots must follow the requirements of "limited, appointment, and peak shifting" to implement various epidemic prevention and management measures.

  Wu Zunyou said that China has a long land border, and the pressure and difficulty of foreign defense input is greater than that of an airport.

In addition, the rapid growth or rebound of the epidemic situation in some countries around China, coupled with insufficient medical resources and limited testing capabilities in some border areas of the other side, require special attention from the land border cities of China.

He reminded that the public should avoid visiting these areas as much as possible during the "Double Festival" holiday.
