China News Agency reporter Li Yanan
At present, the global epidemic of new crown pneumonia is showing an accelerated upward trend, and there are still sporadic cases and local clusters of epidemics in some areas of China.
Winter and spring are the seasons for the high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases. With the approach of New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, the flow of people will also increase significantly by then. How many "closes" will China's epidemic prevention and control need to pass this winter and next spring?
This has become a topic of public concern.
At a press conference held by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the 3rd, a number of officials and experts introduced relevant recent epidemic prevention and control measures.
Character defense
After multiple confirmed cases in Tianjin, Shanghai, Qingdao and other places were exposed to imported cold-chain foods, news that imported frozen fresh specimens tested positive for the new coronavirus nucleic acid has continued, and cold-chain logistics issues have moved people's hearts so far.
Li Huaqiang, deputy director of the Department of Transportation Services of the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China, said that in order to resolutely prevent the spread of the new crown virus through cold chain logistics channels, the Ministry of Transport has focused on the loading, unloading and transportation of imported cold chain food. , Information registration management, emergency response measures and other aspects have taken corresponding epidemic prevention and control measures.
In response to the recent incident in which two confirmed cases in Shanghai were exposed to an aviation container without wearing a mask, Han Guangzu, deputy director of the Flight Standards Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, responded that the Civil Aviation Administration has promptly revised and issued the "Transport Airlines, Airport Epidemics" Prevention and Control Technology Guide (Sixth Edition)", which adds the risk level and prevention and control requirements of cargo flights, including the prevention and disinfection of key links in air logistics such as cold chain, cargo, luggage, and the work of cargo personnel and luggage personnel in key positions. Protection requirements, through more precise prevention and control measures, to meet the actual needs of the movement of people and goods.
"Recently, the traceability of many imported epidemics in China shows that the source is related to imported goods, and'personal defense' is still the core strategy for foreign import prevention." Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the China National Health Commission's Disease Control Bureau Emphasize.
Fever clinic, hospital infection prevention and control
The fever clinic is an outpost for epidemic prevention and control.
Previously, the first cases of the epidemic in Beijing, Dalian, Shanghai and other places were found in the fever clinics. The nervousness of the fever clinics during the epidemic in Wuhan has made many people still remember it.
Jiao Yahui, the inspector of the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission of China, revealed that after the normalization of the epidemic prevention and control phase in April, all regions are strengthening the renovation and construction of fever clinics.
Up to now, more than 7,000 fever clinics have been completed in general hospitals above the second level across the country.
In addition, avoiding the occurrence of hospitalization incidents in medical institutions is also vital to epidemic prevention and control.
Since the beginning of this year, cluster epidemics caused by the prevention and control of hospital infections have occurred in many places around the world.
Jiao Yahui said that corresponding documents have been formulated for the epidemic and transmission characteristics of the new coronavirus and the disease, the basic principles of hierarchical and zoning prevention and control have been adopted, and the training of medical personnel has been strengthened.
Regarding the prevention and control of hospital infections in Heilongjiang and Qingdao that were previously exposed to the epidemic, the relevant requirements have been further strengthened, and doctor-patient protection has been strengthened.
Jiao Yahui emphasized that in the future, the supervision of the prevention and control of hospital infection will be increased, and there will be "zero tolerance" for the prevention and control of hospital infection.
If a hospital feeling incident occurs due to poor management or a sense of responsibility, it will be resolutely investigated and dealt with.
Holiday trip
As the New Year’s Day and Chinese New Year holidays approach, people’s willingness to travel is expected to increase. How can we prevent the epidemic from rebounding under large-scale personnel movements?
Han Guangzu said that it is initially predicted that the passenger traffic volume of civil aviation during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival holidays will be close to the same period before the epidemic, and will be concentrated in domestic transportation.
It is predicted that the flow of passengers during the Spring Festival travel will still have a strong direction, and there may be a second return peak after the Lantern Festival.
Taking into account the needs of epidemic prevention and control, it is recommended that qualified passengers travel as far as possible to avoid peak periods around the Spring Festival.
In order to minimize the risk of spreading the epidemic through railways, Wu Shiping, deputy director of the Ministry of Labor and Health of China National Railway Group Co., Ltd., said that it will continue to do a good job in temperature measurement of passengers at stations, organization of passenger flow, cargo transportation management, ventilation and disinfection.
In addition, it is necessary to strengthen staff management, adhere to health monitoring, and wear protective equipment such as masks as required.
Li Huaqiang pointed out that the Spring Festival Transport will be a comprehensive test of the service guarantee capability of the national transportation industry.
The Ministry of Transport has recently started the preparations for the Spring Festival travel, and will systematically arrange the prevention and control of transportation epidemics and convenient services during the Spring Festival travel period. By then, relevant Spring Festival travel information will be released in a timely manner through multiple channels.
