　　Wang Xijiang stated that after the outbreak in Shufu County, in order to quickly cut off the transmission route and ensure the safety and health of the people of all ethnic groups, the Xinjiang Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters decided to focus on Shufu County and carry out free nucleic acid testing for all people in Kashgar , And immediately deployed nucleic acid testing forces from all over the country to quickly support the Kashgar area.

With the strong support of the autonomous region and relevant prefectures and cities, the Kashgar area has increased its nucleic acid testing capacity by 122,000 tubes and 610,000 people in a single day.

2938 medical personnel were selected from the Kashgar area to form 16 testing teams to support Shufu County to carry out nucleic acid testing. All counties and cities organized 4110 nucleic acid sampling teams with 11,000 people to carry out full-staff testing.

　　According to reports, the total number of people required to be tested in Shufu County is 245,200. As of 16:00 on October 26, all tests have been completed. In addition to 26 new people who were positive, 5 mixed tubes are undergoing further re-examination. Is negative.

As of 16:00 on October 26, the total number of people to be tested in Kashgar was 4,746,500, and the cumulative number of samples was 4,471,700. Results have been 2,133,600. Except for asymptomatic infections detected in Shufu County, all counties and cities are Negative.

"We will try our best to seize the time, further improve the work process, maximize the detection capabilities, and ensure that all employees in the Kashgar area complete nucleic acid testing on the 27th."

　　According to reports, since August this year, according to Xinjiang's arrangements, Kashgar has carried out regular nucleic acid tests for key populations in order to detect early infections in the population in time.

Judging from the current situation, the nucleic acid detection early warning mechanism and the first time nucleic acid detection is carried out after the detection of a positive nucleic acid test has played a vital role in the prevention and control of the epidemic in Shufu County.

　　Wang Xijiang said that the first case of asymptomatic infection in Shufu County was discovered during routine nucleic acid testing.

After discovering the first asymptomatic infection, we passed the nucleic acid test in time, and we quickly screened the asymptomatic infection. From the first asymptomatic infection on the 24th, the nucleic acid test was carried out to 16:00 on the 25th, and the screening was carried out in a short time. Out of 137 cases of asymptomatic infection.

From 16:00 on October 25 to 16:00 on 26, 26 asymptomatic infections were screened.

From the perspective of epidemic prevention and control, this is very beneficial to epidemic prevention and control, because asymptomatic infections are detected in time, and close contacts related to them are included in medical observation in time, so that the chain of transmission in the region can be accurately grasped and taken Prevention and control measures to quickly block transmission channels have laid a solid foundation for winning the epidemic prevention and control battle in the shortest time.

　　He also said that all of the reported cases of the Shufu County epidemic are asymptomatic infections, mainly because nucleic acid testing is rapid and timely, early detection, patients are still in the early stage of infection, and all appear to be asymptomatic infections.

In the next step, the Kashgar area will, under the guidance of the national and autonomous region expert groups, coordinate the medical and health resources of the Kashgar area, make every effort to do a good job in all staff testing, flow traceability, scientific treatment, medical supplies guarantee, etc., to ensure various prevention and control measures Put it in place.
