Chinanews Client Beijing, February 8th (Reporter Zhang Ni) On the 7th, the number of newly confirmed cases in 31 provinces was 0-this is the latest epidemic data reported by the National Health Commission on the 8th.

  "Hard-core" quarantine, full nucleic acid screening...In the first month of the New Year, China has adopted a series of powerful measures to "encircle and suppress" the virus and effectively control the spread of the epidemic before the Lunar New Year.

The "big exam" of the epidemic since the New Year has also brought new experience and enlightenment to the fight against the epidemic.

Zero new local cases!

  According to data from the National Health Commission, from 0-24 on February 7, 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported 14 new confirmed cases, all of which were imported cases (7 in Shanghai and 7 in Guangdong) ); No new deaths; no new suspected cases.

  17 cases, 6 cases, 4 cases, 1 case, 0 cases...

  In the past five days, the number of newly diagnosed cases in the country has dropped for four consecutive days, and until the report on the 7th, there has been a “zero increase”.

  "Now the overall epidemic situation in Hebei, Heilongjiang, and Jilin has been well controlled." As early as February 4th, Guo Yanhong, Inspector of the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission, made the above judgment on the domestic epidemic.

  Since February 4, Hebei Province has had no new local confirmed cases for 4 consecutive days.

Starting February 8, Gaocheng District of Shijiazhuang City has been adjusted to a medium-risk area, while Xinle City, Shijiazhuang and Nangong City of Xingtai have been adjusted to low-risk areas.

Many places in Hebei have begun to resume work and production in an orderly manner.

  Outside of Hebei, Beijing has had no new local confirmed cases for 9 consecutive days.

  In Heilongjiang, on February 6, there were four new cases in this round of epidemics in Heilongjiang for the first time.

  In Tonghua, Jilin, the local area blocked the spread of the epidemic in half a month. At present, the epidemic has entered the stage of "clearing the tail and eliminating it".

  According to the prediction model of the new crown epidemic developed by Lanzhou University, the epidemic in Jilin, Hebei, and Heilongjiang will be basically controlled in early February under the strong government intervention.

A series of data also confirmed this prediction.

On the morning of February 5th, the first batch of 4 COVID-19 recoveries from this round of COVID-19 in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, donated 800 ml of convalescent plasma at the Fifth People's Hospital of Shijiazhuang City.

What lessons did this wave of epidemic bring?

  From more outbreaks, to the decline in the number of local confirmed cases, to zero new local cases, after entering 2021, in just over a month, China's epidemic prevention and control work has once again withstood a "big test".

  Looking back at this round of the epidemic, since January, the country has accumulatively added more than 2,000 local confirmed cases, the most in a single month since March last year.

  In Shijiazhuang alone, since January 2nd, the city has reported 868 local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia.

  This wave of epidemic "raid" has also exposed loopholes in epidemic prevention and control in some areas.

  For example, the outbreaks in northern areas such as Hebei, Heilongjiang, and Jilin were concentrated in rural areas, exposing the shortcomings of epidemic prevention and control in rural areas and the lack of primary medical institutions as the "first sentinel".

  In addition, the source of the virus in many places still points to overseas imports, which reminds everyone again that the pressure of foreign defense imports is still huge and should not be underestimated.

  In the past month or so, China has made a quick fight and carried out a rapid "encirclement and suppression" of the epidemic.

  "Hard-core" quarantine, large-scale nucleic acid testing, national linkage... The effectiveness of the war epidemic since the new year also proves that China's epidemic prevention and control measures are becoming more and more mature.

  According to data from the National Health Commission, the National Health Commission has taken a series of measures to improve the nucleic acid testing capabilities of various regions in order to meet the needs of due diligence and voluntary due diligence under the normalization of the epidemic. As of February 1 The single-tube nucleic acid detection capacity has increased to 16 million copies per day, which is more than 10 times higher than the 1.26 million copies per day in March last year.

  Earlier, large-scale nucleic acid screening for all employees in Hebei, Heilongjiang and other places benefited from this.

  In terms of the treatment of patients with new coronary pneumonia, more than 60 national experts went to Hebei, Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces to work with provincial experts and local medical staff to treat patients.

  According to the prediction model of the new crown epidemic developed by Lanzhou University, if strict prevention and control measures are not taken, 130,000 people in Heilongjiang will be infected by the end of February, and 120,000 people in Hebei will be infected by the end of February.

Prevention and control still cannot be relaxed!

  China has achieved remarkable results in the fight against the epidemic, but the current round of the epidemic has not completely ended.

At the same time, the multiple outbreaks of this epidemic also remind everyone that the nerves of prevention and control must not be relaxed.

  For example, although 31 provinces reported zero new cases of local cases on the 7th, according to a report from Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, on the 7th day, the city had 2 new cases of asymptomatic infections, including 1 imported from abroad and 1 imported from outside the province.

  The asymptomatic infected person imported from the one exception province drove from Xinyang City, Henan Province to Dongyang City on January 27, and the nucleic acid test result at the departure place on January 25 was negative.

In the afternoon of February 6, due to work needs, during a voluntary test at a medical institution in Dongyang City, it was found that the throat swab nucleic acid test was weakly positive, with no symptoms such as fever or cough, and was diagnosed as asymptomatic infection by the expert group.

  The emergence of asymptomatic infections across provinces requires further traceability. It can be seen that with the increase in the flow of people during the Spring Festival, prevention and control cannot be relaxed.

  Recently, many authoritative experts in the field of disease control have issued reminders on different occasions.

  For example, Xu Wenbo, director of the Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, previously issued an appeal at the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism press conference, advocating that everyone should not flow during the Spring Festival holiday.

  Yao Laishun, deputy director of the Jilin Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention recently also reminded that the temperature in the northeast has made the virus easier to survive and more suitable for virus transmission. Old problems such as population movement during the Spring Festival and new tests coexist, and the "big test" for epidemic prevention and control has not yet ended.

  At present, the Lunar New Year in 2021 has entered the countdown stage. In addition to initiatives such as "Chinese New Year in situ", various localities have also actively introduced various measures to minimize the risk of epidemic transmission during the Spring Festival.

  For example, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce recently issued the "Guidelines for Dining at Catering Business Places", advocating the citizens to reduce unnecessary gatherings, "If you can get together, you won’t get together, if you can get together, you can get together less", and advocate controlling the dinner time within 2 hours. The number of people is controlled below 10 people.

  The above-mentioned "Guide" also requires catering business units to carry out normalized environmental monitoring and preventive disinfection in accordance with the "Guidelines for the Operation and Service of the Catering Industry under Normalized Epidemic Prevention and Control".

  Shaanxi Province also requires strengthening the prevention and control of epidemics in supermarkets, catering, and cold chain foods, encouraging shopping malls and supermarkets to provide convenient services such as online order delivery, contactless transactions, and advocating a combination of online and offline consumption to prevent possible causes caused by shopping The crowd gathered.

  Shanghai has issued prevention and control guidelines such as "Shanghai Shopping Malls and Supermarkets' Epidemic Prevention and Control Technical Guidelines" and "Shanghai Catering Service Units' Epidemic Prevention and Control Technical Guidelines".

  The Spring Festival is just around the corner. While celebrating the holiday season, everyone is also facing a new test. Don't take it lightly!
