Chinanews client, Beijing, May 16 (Reporter Zhang Ni) According to the latest official announcement, on the 15th, another 4 confirmed cases of local new coronary pneumonia were added in the country.
Within three days, the number of local confirmed cases in this round of the epidemic has reached 11, with confirmed cases and close contacts in multiple provinces.
The current confirmed cases are highly correlated. In addition, the spread of the epidemic is likely to overlap with the "May 1st" holiday just past. The potential risks and the exposed prevention and control loopholes are worthy of attention!

11 patients and close contacts were diagnosed in 3 days involving multiple provinces
According to the latest epidemic data reported by the National Health Commission, on the 15th, 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported 4 new local cases, all in Liaoning.
Since Anhui notified 2 local cases on May 13, in just 3 days, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in this round of the epidemic has reached 11, distributed in the two provinces of Anhui and Liaoning.
Prior to this, there had been no new local confirmed cases nationwide for 22 days.
What is more vigilant is that in addition to the two provinces where the confirmed cases appeared, the close contacts of the confirmed cases in this round of the epidemic are also distributed in many other provinces.
At present, there are close contacts in Beijing, Enshi, Hubei, Huai'an, Jiangsu, Dalian, Liaoning, Yanshan, Hebei, Shanxi Jinzhong, and Lanzhou, Gansu.
Among them, the information released by the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the 3 confirmed cases in Anhui Province had close contacts with 28 people in Beijing, involving 11 districts in Beijing. These close contacts also included online car-hailing drivers.
However, after the outbreak of the epidemic, the national and local levels have responded quickly and adopted timely and effective prevention and control measures.
The National Health Commission immediately dispatched an expert team to Anhui and a working team to Liaoning to guide the local prevention and control work.
In the past few days, large-scale nucleic acid tests have been carried out in Hefei, Lu'an, Anhui, and Yingkou, Liaoning.
As of 20 o'clock on the 15th, the number of nucleic acid testing samples for all employees in the main urban area of Lu'an, Anhui has exceeded one million.
Yingkou has previously implemented closed management of 8 key communities, and carried out nucleic acid testing for all employees; implemented traffic control at expressway intersections, did not leave the area if necessary, and made every effort to block the spread of the epidemic.

The source of infection has not yet been identified, or the patient has been infected at the end of April
Zhang Moumou is the first confirmed case in this round of the epidemic.
In the early morning of May 13, Lu'an Shili Hospital performed routine nucleic acid testing on Zhang Moumou who was here, and combined with clinical diagnosis, he was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia.
According to the official report, Zhang Moumou was a salesperson at Aimo Studios in Zhedong Commercial City, Jin'an District, Lu'an City, Anhui Province. He developed fever at home on the evening of May 6 and went to Shili Hospital, Yu'an District, Lu'an City on the afternoon of May 11. Seeing a doctor, the nucleic acid test was positive on the 12th.
Zhang has lived in the urban area of Yu'an District, Lu'an City for a long time, and has not left Anhui recently. On May 2nd, he had close contact with Li, who was also a confirmed case, during training in Aimer Studio.
Li Moumou, an employee of a certain group in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, mainly engaged in photography marketing training, flew from Yingkou City, Liaoning Province to Hefei via Dalian on May 1.
So, who is the "Patient Zero" in this round of epidemic?
On the evening of the 14th, Wu Guangjin, director of the Lu'an Municipal Health and Health Commission in Anhui Province, said in an interview with the media that it was preliminarily determined that this case in Lu'an was an imported case from outside the province in China.
On the 15th, Zhao Lian, deputy director of the Dalian Municipal Health Commission, stated at a press conference that Li Moumou’s travel trajectory during his stay in Dalian was relatively simple, similar to point-to-point transfers, no contact history of immigrants, and wearing masks throughout the process, and did not contact Dalian Other members of society ruled out the possibility of being infected in Dalian.
Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, analyzed in an interview with the media that although the first confirmed case of the local epidemic was from Lu'an, Anhui, the source of the epidemic was likely to spread from Yingkou, Liaoning.
Jiang Qingwu, an epidemiologist and former dean of the School of Public Health of Fudan University, also said that the Anhui epidemic should be related to Liaoning, because many cases in Anhui are related to photography training, and the local cases did not go out. In view of Li XX left Liaoning on May 1, and may have been infected at the end of April.
Although the source of the infection is still unclear, according to experts' speculation, the spread of this round of the epidemic may coincide with the "May Day" holiday, and the potential risk of spread can be imagined.

Confirmed cases are highly correlated and daily prevention and control loopholes need to be reflected
Although it is not clear who the source of infection and "patient zero" are, it is certain that at present, most of the infected persons in this round of the epidemic are related to photography training.
Aimer Studio and Golden Childhood Photography Base have become the two “eyes of the storm” of the epidemic.
On the 15th, 9 new infections (4 confirmed cases and 5 asymptomatic infections) were added in Liaoning Province on the 15th, of which 8 were in Yingkou and 7 were related to the Golden Childhood Photography Base.
One of them had been slinged at the local health center on May 1. Before that, he had contact with Li XX, a confirmed patient in Anhui.
In Lu'an City, the 3 locally confirmed cases and 7 asymptomatic infections reported as of 20:00 on the 15th are all engaged in the photography industry.
The confirmed case Li XX flew from Yingkou City, Liaoning Province to Hefei via Dalian via Dalian on May 1, and then took the airport bus to Lu'an City. On May 2, training was held in Aimu Studios.
According to public reports, Aimo Studios is located in Zone C, Zhedong Commercial City, Jiefang Middle Road, Lu'an City, in the prosperous area of Lu'an City.
The owner of Aimer Studio revealed in an interview with the media that more than 20 employees participated in the training that day.
This is inevitably reminiscent of the clustered epidemic that occurred in the rural areas of Hebei and other places at the beginning of the year. It is also a large number of related cases that have been connected to multiple wedding banquets and banquets.
This similarity has undoubtedly sounded the warning bell for everyone again: Although the domestic epidemic has stabilized, the daily prevention and control must not be careless!

The overall vaccination rate is still low, building an immune barrier is imminent
The time when the first case of the epidemic was confirmed was just over a week after the May 1st holiday.
Previous calculations from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism showed that during the May 1st holiday, 230 million domestic tourists traveled nationwide, an increase of 119.7% year-on-year.
As early as before the holiday, a disease control expert reminded the public that when the large-scale movement of people resumed, people must take personal protection when traveling, and called for vaccinations as soon as possible.
In this epidemic, a local case in Shenyang was driven by his family to Yingkou Bayuquan during the "May 1st" period.
In addition, from the information publicly reported by the media, it can be found that there are no people who have been vaccinated against the new crown vaccine among the confirmed cases in Anhui and Liaoning.
This also reminds us again: the virus is around us, prevention and control must not be slackened, and vaccination must be accelerated.
According to data from the National Health Commission, as of May 14, 2021, 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have reported a total of more than 380 million doses of new coronavirus vaccine.
Although the domestic new crown vaccination work is advancing rapidly, the overall vaccination rate is still low, and there is still a long way to go before the establishment of a universal immune barrier.
According to the data reported daily by the National Health Commission, the largest single-day vaccination of the new crown vaccine nationwide reached a new high on May 14.
In addition, Hefei received 364,100 doses of the new crown vaccine on May 14, setting a record for the city's single-day vaccination.
Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, recently issued an appeal: "I hope everyone will work together to get vaccinated as soon as possible, and make their own efforts to prevent the new crown for the country, the world, and individuals." (End)
