Airports, theaters, schools...prevention and control alarms sounded

  From the airport to the scenic spot, the "paralysis" in multiple links caused the epidemic to spread to many places in a short period of time.

  With the increase in the number of infected people, the nerves of epidemic prevention and control in various regions and departments have been highly strained.

  The Civil Aviation Administration emphasized the need to continuously optimize and improve the prevention and control measures of key locations, key links, and key personnel, and in particular to strengthen the management of third-party outsourcing business personnel working in the airport operation area.

  The China Performance Industry Association specially reminds all member units: Theater performances must insist on temperature measurement, wearing masks, scanning the itinerary code and real-name registration to ensure the safety of all audiences and performers.

  Hubei has required strict implementation of closed-loop management of key locations, key locations, and key personnel such as airports, designated hospitals, and isolation sites.

  In Hunan, the Changsha Education Bureau issued an emergency notice on the 29th, demanding that various gathering activities be carried out cautiously.

In principle, schools and kindergartens do not hold gathering activities.

  In addition, many cities have strengthened personnel access management.

  Beijing has strengthened the management of travel in and out of Beijing, reminding citizens not to go to medium- and high-risk areas unless necessary.

Zhuzhou requires that from July 30th, all personnel in the plant do not leave Zhuzhou unless necessary, and those who do need to leave must hold a negative certificate of nucleic acid test within 24 hours.

On July 29, the residential area where the newly confirmed cases in Beijing were located was closed, and the takeaway staff delivered the daily necessities purchased by the residents to the area.

Two consecutive declines in new confirmed cases in Nanjing daily

Expert: The key is to monitor the follow-up 1-2 weeks

  On the 28th and 29th, the number of new local confirmed cases in Nanjing dropped in two consecutive days, with 18 cases and 13 cases respectively.

  So, what is the future trend of the epidemic?

  Regarding this issue, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, wrote an analysis on the 29th that Nanjing has now adopted strict prevention and control measures. If the control is effective, it can be controlled within a few weeks. You should have confidence in this.

  He also emphasized that the key is the follow-up 1-2 weeks of monitoring. If there are more cases that are not directly related to Lukou Airport, it indicates that the scale of the epidemic will expand, and more decisive measures may be required.

  Shao Yiming, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the epidemic was caused by an external input and caused a small-scale epidemic in a local area, which is not in the same order of magnitude as the development of the epidemic in other countries and regions in the world.

  Shao Yiming emphasized that the Nanjing epidemic also revealed that viruses are pervasive. In terms of prevention and control arrangements, airport flight prevention and control should be strengthened to prevent the possibility of infection caused by foreign imports.

  But there is no doubt that the speed of containment of this wave of epidemics depends not only on the strength of government control, but also on the participation of all ordinary people.

  Guarding the hard-won anti-epidemic results is everyone's concern!
