The pre-holiday pandemic warning bell for confirmed cases in many provinces has sounded again!

  Since December, local confirmed cases have appeared in Inner Mongolia, Tianjin, Sichuan, Heilongjiang, Beijing, Liaoning and other provinces.

  Among them, only in Dalian, from December 15 to 24, a total of 19 confirmed cases and 20 asymptomatic infections have been reported in this clustered epidemic.

  In the early morning of the 22nd, Dalian City initiated nucleic acid testing and screening for all employees.

On the same day, the National Health Commission sent a working group to Dalian to guide and assist in the investigation and handling of the epidemic.

  New Year's Day and Spring Festival are approaching, and the successive confirmed cases once again sounded the alarm for everyone!

  Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, previously analyzed that after the beginning of winter, most countries outside the country have experienced a significant increase in the number of new crown pneumonia epidemics, and the number of infected people and contaminated items are increasing.

In such a global context, China has seen many sporadic cases, which is a normal phenomenon in normalized prevention and control.

  Regarding the recent phenomenon that the number of asymptomatic infections has been found in China, he explained that there are two factors for the emergence of this phenomenon. One is that we have more methods to detect cases than before, especially for nucleic acid testing. We can detect early cases before the epidemic spreads.

  "To prevent the rebound of the new crown pneumonia epidemic this winter and next spring, we cannot bet all our treasures on the vaccine." Wu Zunyou emphasized that personal protection is still very necessary, and the normal prevention and control measures at this stage must still be persisted.

There is a clear "time difference" between different colleges and universities in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.

  In addition, many places, including Dalian, Beijing, etc., have proposed to encourage citizens to spend holidays on the spot to reduce the flow of people.

  Zhao Lian, deputy director of the Dalian Municipal Health Commission, said recently that in view of the local epidemic prevention and control situation, the general public is requested to follow the requirements of the Dalian epidemic prevention and control headquarters and not leave Dalian unless it is necessary. Those who really need to leave Dalian must have a nucleic acid within 7 days. The test is negative.

  As one of the cities with the largest population outflow during the Spring Festival every year, Beijing also proposed that officials from government agencies and state-owned enterprises and institutions take the lead in spending the festival in Beijing.

Encourage units in Beijing to implement flexible vacations, and guide personnel to leave Beijing on a staggered peak.

Advocate the masses of citizens to celebrate festivals on the spot.

  On the 25th, at a news conference on the epidemic in Beijing, Chen Bei, deputy secretary-general of the Beijing Municipal Government, emphasized that in terms of reducing the flow of people, it is advisable for citizens to spend the New Year in Beijing and minimize travel to cities in high-risk areas.

  In addition to the two places mentioned above, Shaanxi Province has also recently emphasized that employees of party and government agencies, institutions, and state-owned enterprises at all levels in the province should reduce unnecessary travel during the "Two Festivals" period and avoid going to medium and high-risk areas. Organize and participate in large-scale gatherings and dinners.

  Guangdong also proposes to arrange reasonable itineraries during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival to reduce unnecessary travel. Passengers with conditions should travel as far as possible to avoid peak periods around New Year's and Spring Festival holidays.
