(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) How will China fight the epidemic when the "extraordinary Spring Festival" is approaching?
China News Service, Beijing, December 30 (Reporter Zhang Su and Zhu Chenxi) The launch of the "2021 Spring Festival Transport Train Tickets" on December 30 means that the annual Chinese population migration will come as scheduled.
However, due to the sporadic spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in China and the intertwining of local clusters, the global epidemic is accelerating. This year's Spring Festival can be called "very Spring Festival."
Facing a "mobile China" during the Spring Festival travel season, many authoritative experts have told the media that although the epidemic poses a threat to the Spring Festival travel season, as long as the prevention and control measures are appropriate, the possibility of widespread spread of the virus due to the Spring Festival travel season is not high.
Combined with the tips and suggestions of authoritative experts, and the official deployment on the epidemic prevention and control during the "Two Festivals" at the press conference of the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism on the 30th, it has become clear how China will fight the epidemic during the "very Spring Festival".
——Staggered trips for key groups
Zhu Wenzhong, deputy director of the Passenger Transport Department of the National Railway Group, said that the overall structure of the passenger flow during the Spring Festival this year will still be composed of basic flow, work flow, student flow, tourist flow and family visit flow.
The passenger flow before the holiday is relatively flat, and the peak passenger flow after the holiday is more prominent.
At the press conference, officials from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Health Commission and other ministries and commissions all talked about key groups of people "shifting peaks" and "avoiding peaks" travel.
For example, it is clear that when colleges and universities across the country are closed for holidays and when they start school, the education administration departments of all regions will coordinate the consideration of the epidemic prevention and control requirements of the territories and student sources and the actual arrangements for school education and teaching.
For a large number of people, migrant workers, and employees of enterprises and institutions who will return to their hometowns before the holiday, He Qinghua, the first-level inspector of the CDC of the National Health Commission, reiterated the "three reductions" (reduce the flow of people, reduce the gathering of people, and reduce tourism risks) and "Three strengthening" (strengthening personal protection, strengthening village management, strengthening designated diagnosis and treatment).
He put forward protective suggestions for migrant workers in stages before, during and after returning home, and reminded the local relevant departments to do a good job in returning home personnel, especially those engaged in imported cold chain food related workers' return home planning and grid Management.
Liu Kezhi, director of the Marketing Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, reminded the public to arrange their itineraries reasonably during the Spring Festival on New Year's Day, reduce unnecessary trips, and do not arrange outbound travel unless necessary, and do not travel to medium- and high-risk domestic areas.
-Strictly prevent proliferation in key areas
Recently, new local confirmed cases have appeared one after another in many places in China.
Regarding the key areas where new local confirmed cases have appeared, experts and officials mentioned strict prevention of proliferation and introduced corresponding measures.
"The state encourages employees of government agencies, enterprises and institutions to stay at the workplace for holidays." He Qinghua said that provinces with or imported epidemics should guide migrant workers to stay at the workplace for vacation during the Spring Festival.
Among the recent sporadic cases of local cases, there are students.
Wang Dengfeng, director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Response to the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic of the Ministry of Education, said that since many teachers and students choose to stay in school during the holidays, he requires the school to do a good job in logistics and services, and strictly implement technical plans for epidemic prevention and control.
Liu Kezhi said that he will continue to temporarily not resume the inbound and outbound team travel and "air ticket + hotel" business of travel agencies and online travel companies, and continue to suspend the new approval of foreign, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan business performance activities.
It is reported that the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council will organize missions to various places to carry out special supervision of epidemic prevention and control during the Spring Festival in January 2021.
——Multiple measures taken during the Spring Festival transportation
Wang Xiuchun, deputy director of the Department of Transportation Services of the Ministry of Transport, said that the plan for the prevention and control of the transportation epidemic during the Spring Festival is being organized, which will comprehensively deploy the prevention and control measures and emergency response of important links in the transportation field and key populations. Develop a zoning and hierarchical prevention and control guide during the 2021 Spring Festival.
When it comes to passenger transportation, Wang Xiuchun said that it will reduce the concentration of passengers, strengthen the monitoring and protection of employees, and strictly implement epidemic prevention measures for passenger transportation services.
"Increase the frequency of ventilation and disinfection of passenger terminals and transportation vehicles, strengthen environmental management and epidemic prevention and control measures in key places such as catering and toilets in expressway service areas, and regularly disinfect expressway traffic media (CPC cards)." She said.
Zhu Wenzhong said that the train reserves isolation seats for feverish passengers. If passengers with a body temperature higher than 37.3℃ are found, they will be isolated and observed in a timely manner and handed over to the local government's prevention and control department for investigation to effectively strengthen the epidemic prevention and control work.
He also reminded passengers to cooperate in temperature measurement when entering and leaving the station, wear masks throughout the journey of entering and leaving the train, keep a safe distance while waiting for the train, and reduce the flow of movement during the ride.
The transportation department also focuses on preventing the spread of the new crown virus through cold chain logistics channels.
Wang Xiuchun said that on the basis of the preliminary work, we will do a good job in five aspects: protection of employees, disinfection of transportation vehicles, customs document inspection, information registration management, and emergency response to the epidemic.
