According to the latest data from the National Health Commission, on the 11th, there were 19 new confirmed cases in Putian City, Fujian Province, and 17 new local asymptomatic infections.
At present, the Putian area has adopted strict control measures. The epidemic hits suddenly. In the next few days, Putian, a city with a permanent population of more than 3 million, will race against the cunning virus. How many barriers does it need to break?

The virus is cunning and requires rapid screening
According to previous reports from Putian, experts have determined that the source of the epidemic is suspected to be the chain of infection caused by Lin Moumou who entered Singapore.
The investigation found that after being quarantined at a designated hotel in Xiamen for 14 days, Lin Moumou was transferred point-to-point to the centralized quarantine point in Xianyou County on August 19 to continue the quarantine. During this period, the three nucleic acid tests were all negative, and then on August 26. Home health monitoring was implemented, and the nucleic acid test was positive on September 10.
Ling Longmei, director of the Putian Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stated at the press conference that the imported cases from Singapore were quarantined for 21 days. During this period, 9 nucleic acid tests were negative and 1 serum test was also negative. Nucleic acid on September 10 The test result is positive, and the virus incubation period is longer.
In the face of such a "cunning" virus, how to isolate close contacts in the shortest time and how to find infected persons through screening and investigation is a great test for Putian City.
At present, the Putian area has urgently carried out large-scale nucleic acid testing, and 212 Fuzhou medical staff quickly assembled to assist Putian. At the same time, the National Health Commission also sent a working group to Putian City, Fujian Province to guide the epidemic management work.

Delta again? Strict control and not relax
At a press conference held on the 11th in Putian City, it was introduced that the specimens of the 19 related cases of this epidemic have been sent to the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention for gene sequencing and rapid screening by the melting curve method. The result was initially determined to be a Delta strain.
We are no stranger to the "Delta" virus. Since the beginning of this year, the new crown epidemic caused by the Delta strain has appeared in many places in Guangdong, Yunnan, and Jiangsu.
Many experts have previously stated that the Delta strain has the characteristics of high viral load, strong transmission, long time for nucleic acid to become negative, atypical symptoms, and prone to severe illness.
Once again, "fighting" with Delta, whether we can defeat this mutated virus, is the key to preventing the spread of the epidemic.
Since the 11th, the Putian area has implemented stricter containment measures. In principle, Putian personnel do not leave the city unless necessary.
In addition, all provincial and inter-city shuttle buses in Putian have ceased operation on the 11th.
In Xianyou County, two passengers and one endangered, all buses and taxis (including online car-hailing) vehicles were suspended, Xianyou Bus Station was closed, and Xianyou Railway Station stopped serving passengers (boarding and dropping off passengers are prohibited).

In the beginning of the school season, campus prevention and control cannot be "lost"
With the arrival of September, colleges and universities, primary and secondary schools across the country have started school one after another, and campus prevention and control is still the top priority.
Previously, the Ministry of Education and the United Nations National Health Commission issued the "Technical Plan for the Prevention and Control of New Coronary Pneumonia in Higher Schools, Primary and Secondary Schools, and Nursery Institutions (Fourth Edition)" to strictly deploy the epidemic prevention work for the beginning of school and returning to school.
It is worth noting that this epidemic occurred during the nucleic acid test of the new coronavirus on the students of a primary school in Fengting Town, Xianyou County, and it was found that the nucleic acid test results of two students were positive.
The 6 infected people discovered on the 10th involved two families, including 3 students and 3 parents.
The imported case from outside Singapore at the source of the epidemic was also one of the parents of the student.
He Qinghua, the first-level inspector of the CDC of the National Health Commission, once said that schools and kindergartens are special places where people gather and are prone to outbreaks of infectious diseases. It is very important to do a good job in the prevention and control of epidemics in schools and kindergartens. .

The typhoon epidemic is double-strike, this is a tough battle
In addition to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, the severe weather that will be brought about by the typhoon has put Putian City facing another challenge.

Fujian Province continued to issue the "Typhoon Warning" on the 11th, and the "Typhoon Warning" was upgraded to Level III.
According to data from the Meteorological Department, from the 12th to the 13th, the maximum wind force of Mindong Fishing Ground and other places can reach 10 to 12, and gusts of 13 to 15.
Putian Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a yellow warning signal for typhoon at 21:39 on the 11th. "Sandu" (super typhoon level) is expected to move northward at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour.
Affected by this, the maximum wind force in Chengxiang District, Licheng District, and Hanjiang District from the night of the 11th to the 12th during the day can reach 7 to 8 with gusts of 9 to 10.
