  As the Spring Festival is approaching, the domestic epidemic prevention and control will undoubtedly face the big test brought about by the movement and gathering of people.

  Recently, the State Council’s Comprehensive Team for Joint Prevention and Control Mechanisms for the Prevention and Control of the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic has proposed to encourage enterprises and institutions to arrange vacations flexibly, and to guide the masses of employees to take vacations at work as much as possible during the Spring Festival.

  In various places, during the Spring Festival, reducing travel and celebrating the New Year in place are repeatedly emphasized.

  "If you don’t need to leave Beijing, you don’t need to leave the country." On December 25, 2020, Beijing’s epidemic prevention and control press conference mentioned that Beijing advocates the citizens to spend the New Year in Beijing, and cadres of party and government organs take the lead in celebrating the festival in Beijing. Those who leave Beijing must be strictly examined and approved.

  As an area with a relatively concentrated labor input, in order to reduce the huge flow of people, the Shanghai Health Promotion Center reminded that it is necessary to arrange the itinerary during the New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, and not to travel if necessary, and to encourage the staggered peak to return home.

If you have to travel across regions, you must understand the local epidemic situation and prevention and control policies in advance, and understand whether there are cases or epidemics in the destination in the near future. Travel in medium- and high-risk areas should be temporarily suspended.

  On December 30, 2020, the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission also issued a notice that civil servants, public institutions, and state-owned enterprise employees must apply for leave Shenzhen, and other companies try their best to take holidays and encourage staying deep for the New Year.

  Not only the above-mentioned regions, but also major labor-exporting provinces such as Anhui, Sichuan, and Hunan have recently issued intensive notices requiring "non-essential non-return to home".

For example, Yuanling County, Hunan Province requires that “people who have a short reunion with their relatives and are at risk of infection and transmission during the journey are advised not to return to Yuan for the time being”; Suzhou City, Anhui also made it clear that “insist on not returning home if necessary”.

  Linquan County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, and Xiao County, Suzhou City, have also recently proposed that everyone stay at the construction site to celebrate the New Year. You can use WeChat, Internet, phone, etc.    

  In order to take into account the epidemic prevention and control and the emotional needs of family reunion during the Spring Festival, some regions encourage non-local employees to spend the New Year with peace of mind by encouraging flexible vacations and encouraging companies to issue new year red envelopes to left-behind employees.

  The Fujian Provincial Federation of Trade Unions also issued an on-site holiday proposal to the majority of employees in the province. It encourages employees from other provinces who will stick to their front-line positions during the Spring Festival, especially those from other provinces who will be affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic and cause relative difficulties in life. The labor union carries out the New Year's Eve dinner and the New Year's Eve dinner. At the same time, it encourages the company to organize activities such as day trips, ancient city trips, and countryside trips around the work sites.

Nucleic acid test certificate, cold chain industry personnel report in advance

You really need to return home to meet these conditions

  Recently, in Anhui, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Henan, Shanxi and other areas with a large number of migrant workers, many places have imposed requirements on those who really need to return home in the form of "a letter to migrant workers".

  The nucleic acid test report, health code, and pass code are basically standard conditions.

For example, Suzhou City, Anhui, Qianxian County, Shaanxi, and many other places have made it clear that all returnees need to report to the destination town (street) or unit in advance or as soon as possible, and hold a valid nucleic acid test report within 7 days to verify their health. Code and passcode.

  For those returning to their hometowns who have not undergone nucleic acid testing in time at the work site, Dongzhi County in Anhui Province requires that they go to the local township health centers to receive nucleic acid sampling under the condition of full personal protection, and the township health centers will uniformly send the collected specimens to the county The People's Hospital or a third party conducts tests, and before the test results are reported, they consciously stay at home and prohibit going out.

  Many regions also specifically proposed that migrant workers engaged in the cold chain logistics industry should report to their communities in advance.

  For example, as required by Taiyuan City, Shanxi, those who study, travel, vacation, work outside the province (especially engaged in imported cold chain food related work), plan to come and visit relatives, etc., please report to the destination community (village) and unit in advance. Itinerary and contact information.

  For people returning from overseas and medium- and high-risk areas, many places also require nucleic acid testing and isolation measures.

For example, Huangchuan County, Xinyang City, Henan Province, made it clear that people returning from overseas and medium-high-risk areas should report their itinerary to their jurisdiction in advance, and implement nucleic acid testing and 14-day centralized isolation measures.

  It is worth noting that among these labor-exporting provinces, many cities and counties in Anhui have recently issued more intensive requirements for returning home during the Spring Festival.

After combing, Chinanews found that as of January 6, more than ten cities and counties in Anhui Province, including Huainan City, Suzhou City, Wuhu City, Dongzhi County, Qingyang County, and Wangjiang County, had released relevant information.

Staggered travel, multi-frequency elimination...

Airports and railway stations strictly implement epidemic prevention measures in public places

  Based on the above background and the recent epidemic situation, according to the official Weibo news of China National Railway Group Co., Ltd., in order to meet the epidemic prevention and control requirements of various places, the National Railway Group has introduced free refund measures.

  Starting at 0:00 on January 7, 2021, passengers will not be charged for refunds of valid tickets for trains purchased before 24:00 on January 6, 2021 through various channels such as the station and the railway 12306 website (including mobile client). The handling fee is handled together with the purchased railway accident insurance.    

  However, judging from the current sales of tickets for many popular routes on the railway 12306 website, there are still not a few "workers" returning home this year.

  Prior to this, the State Council responded to the requirements of the Comprehensive Prevention and Control Mechanism for the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the Novel Coronavirus Infection and Pneumonia, and guided off-peak travel and return to work.

The person in charge of the Passenger Transport Department of the China Railway Group also pointed out that this year's student holiday is earlier than the Spring Festival, and most of the student passenger flow is staggered before the Spring Festival.

  According to data from an online ticketing platform, the passenger flow of college students is expected to basically end before the peak of the Spring Festival travel season on January 26, 2021.

The return of “workers” is expected to usher in the first wave of small peaks on the first day of the Spring Festival travel on January 28, 2021, and the second wave on February 4, 2021, which is the day of the new year. September 9) to reach the peak of returning home to New Year's Eve.

  It can be seen that going home on a staggered peak has become a major trend for returning home during the Spring Festival this year.

  Under the trend of going home staggered, airports and railway stations in various places also require strict implementation of epidemic prevention measures in public places to deal with the risk of the Spring Festival travel epidemic in an all-round way.

  For example, Urumqi International Airport carries out multiple killings every day in the terminal building, and it kills more than 3 times a day on the handles, handrails, check-in counters, luggage carts, seats, etc., which are frequently contacted by passengers.

Disinfecting supplies such as hand sanitizing gel and hand sanitizer are provided at each corridor entrance for passengers to take at any time.

  Xi’an Xianyang International Airport requires passengers to wear masks, scan codes, and measure temperature. For incoming flights in medium- and high-risk areas in China, it has also built five lines of defense from the front station to the landing of the flight, including temperature measurement and code scanning. A dedicated channel for active declaration and health code inspection for passengers in medium- and high-risk areas has been opened, and environmental disinfection and nucleic acid tests have been carried out regularly. Currently, all test results are negative.

  In addition to the airport, the railway department will further expand the scope and range of fare concessions in order to promote "reverse family visits" and trips on peaks.

  For example, the range of discounts will be expanded from temporary passenger trains, “reverse trains” with unpopular routes or directions, to “forward trains” with some designated passenger trains, popular routes or directions; normal-speed passenger trains have changed from their original seats. The minimum discount is 55% off, which is expanded to a minimum of 2% off for hard seats, and a minimum of 50% off for soft and hard sleepers. EMU trains have been extended from the original maximum discount rate of 20% to a minimum of 55% off.
