Officials stressed that the holiday epidemic prevention is not lax and poor prevention and control will be held accountable
At the press conference on the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council of China held on the 30th, Hu Qiangqiang, spokesperson for the National Health Commission, pointed out that during the New Year’s Day and the Spring Festival, the number of overseas returnees increased, the flow of domestic personnel was large, and there were more gathering activities, especially indoor activities. The increase in imported cold chain food and cargo logistics will increase the risk of epidemic spread.
In this regard, Chinese officials have issued a notice requesting that the epidemic prevention and control work during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival should be done without slack.
Hu Qiangqiang revealed that the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism will organize missions to various localities to carry out special inspections on epidemic prevention and control during the Spring Festival in January 2021, report on the ineffective implementation of prevention and control measures and cause the spread of the epidemic, and hold them accountable.
Recently, many sporadic and clustered epidemics have occurred in Beijing, Liaoning and other places, which has caused concerns about the spread of the epidemic.
In this regard, He Qinghua, the first-level inspector of the CDC of the National Health and Medical Commission, said that in the context of the accelerated spread of the global epidemic, it will become normal for the local epidemic in China to spread, spread at multiple points, or even locally.
However, China has summarized a set of effective and normalized prevention and control strategies to ensure that these strategies and measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner, which can quickly block community transmission and control the spread of regional epidemics.
During the Spring Festival Transport in 2021, it is expected that the national railways will send more than 400 million passengers to the epidemic prevention and control challenges
Zhu Wenzhong, deputy director of the Passenger Transport Department of China Railway Group, said at a press conference on the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the 30th that it is estimated that 34 million railway passengers will be sent nationwide during the New Year's Day transportation, down 6.9% year-on-year; the Spring Festival transportation in 2021 is expected to be nationwide. The railway sent 407 million passengers, an average of 10.18 million passengers per day, an increase of 93.4% year-on-year, and the same as the Spring Festival Transport in 2019.
Zhu Wenzhong said that the actual transportation capacity of the national railway Spring Festival transportation in 2021 increased by 3.2% compared with the 2020 Spring Festival transportation. Passenger transportation capacity during the Spring Festival transportation can basically guarantee passenger travel, but the peak day transportation capacity of concentrated passenger flow will still be tight.
He said that during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival, the demand for passengers to travel by train will increase significantly, and the prevention and control of railway epidemics will face new challenges.
The railway department will not relax and do a good job in normalizing the epidemic prevention and control work, minimize the risk of the epidemic spreading through the railway, and create a good travel environment for the majority of passengers.
Zhong Nanshan: There will be no large-scale outbreaks of epidemics in the country in winter, and we must be alert to "environmental transmission"
According to CCTV News, Zhong Nanshan, the winner of the "Medal of the Republic" and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that there will be no large-scale outbreaks of domestic epidemics in China in winter, but we must be wary of "environmental transmission".
Entering winter, the domestic and international epidemic situation has become more tense.
Zhong Nanshan said that China has formed a very effective and relatively rigorous prevention and control network. Therefore, the domestic epidemic will not have a large-scale outbreak like the first one, but there will definitely be repeated or sporadic cases.
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of new cases in mainland China. Zhong Nanshan believes that it may be related to the environment and human-to-human transmission and needs to be vigilant, but this problem is also a "scientific problem that needs to be tackled and solved in the next step."
In response to the issues of vaccine safety and virus mutation that are of concern to the outside world, Zhong Nanshan said that currently used abroad, as well as China's whole virus inactivated vaccines, are still safe and effective at this stage.
After the virus mutates, the infectivity will definitely increase, but so far there is no evidence that the virus mutation will cause resistance to the vaccine.
