China News Service, May 14th. According to the website of the National Health Commission, in order to further guide the prevention and control of new coronavirus pneumonia in various places, based on a comprehensive summary of my country's normalized epidemic prevention and control and local clustered epidemic management experience, In light of the changes in the national epidemic situation and research progress, the State Council’s Comprehensive Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic has organized and revised the "New Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan."
The main revisions include eight aspects.
One is to improve the overall prevention and control requirements.
We will improve policies and measures for importing foreign defenses, adhere to the principle of "personal protection", and strengthen the prevention and control of imported cold-chain foods and goods.
Emphasize on strengthening the prevention and control of epidemics in key time periods, key regions, and key populations, and effectively prevent domestic epidemics from rebounding.
The second is to strengthen organizational leadership.
Local party committees and governments at all levels should improve the epidemic prevention and control command system, and clarify the responsibilities and division of labor of the departments.
Establish working mechanisms and systems such as the command system activation mechanism, information reporting system, supervision and inspection system, emergency drill system, and city support system.
Improve information sharing and integration to provide support for epidemic risk research and judgment, formulation of prevention and control measures, and overall deployment of resources.
According to different epidemic scenarios, make good preparations for professional prevention and control personnel, nucleic acid testing capabilities, designated hospitals, centralized isolation sites, and epidemic prevention materials.
The third is to strengthen work guidance.
Formulate and improve the basic code of conduct for citizens to prevent epidemics, surveillance, epidemiological investigations, determination and management of close contacts, transfer of epidemic-related personnel, isolation medical observation, community prevention and control, disinfection, mental health services, sample collection and testing, and imported epidemics abroad 12 working documents including prevention and control, epidemic prevention and control in key links, strengthen the specific work guidance for different prevention and control fields and links.
The fourth is to strengthen vaccination.
Do a good job in inoculation of key populations such as those with higher occupational exposure risks, those at risk of infection abroad, those who maintain normal production and life operations, and the key positions and occupations that maintain the basic operation of the society; do a good job in key areas such as border ports and diseases in the service industry Vaccination work for populations at higher risk of transmission reduces the risk of population infection and disease.
According to the progress of vaccine research and development and clinical trial results, further improve the vaccination strategy.
The fifth is to strengthen epidemic surveillance.
Persist in the monitoring of people, objects and the environment, strengthen the surveillance of the epidemic situation of medical institutions, people at risk, key populations, and key institutions, and detect and report the epidemic in a timely manner.
Strengthen pathogen monitoring, dynamically monitor virus mutations, and understand the impact of virus mutations on pathogen detection and vaccine protection.
The sixth is to strengthen the prevention and control of the epidemic in rural areas.
Summarize the experience in handling clusters of epidemics in rural areas, and strengthen targeted guidance and counterpart support for community prevention and control, epidemiological investigations, isolation medical observations, nucleic acid testing, and disinfection in response to relatively weak epidemic prevention and control capabilities in rural areas.
Seven is to strengthen isolation medical observation.
Strengthen the management of quarantine medical observation for entry personnel and close contacts, requiring that nasopharyngeal swabs should be collected for nucleic acid testing during the quarantine medical observation period, and two nasopharyngeal swab samples should be collected at the same time when the quarantine is released, and different nucleic acid detection reagents should be used for testing. In principle, the two inspections are carried out by different inspection agencies.
A nucleic acid test was carried out on the 2nd and 7th days after the isolation was lifted. During the period, health monitoring was carried out to reduce the flow, personal protection when going out, and not to participate in gathering activities.
The eighth is to strengthen the precise management of the close connection.
It is stipulated that the nucleic acid tests of close contacts are negative on the first day and the fourth day during the isolation medical observation period, and the nucleic acid tests on the first, fourth, and seventh days of the close contact are negative to release the centralized isolation medical observation.
If a close contact has a positive nucleic acid test on the 1st and 4th day, the close contact shall be managed in accordance with the close contact.
