(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Zhang Boli: The "protracted war" with the new coronavirus is still in a stalemate
China News Service, Yinchuan, October 14 (Reporter Yang Di) "From a global perspective, the overall epidemic situation is slowing." Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency in Yinchuan, Ningxia, that the current global epidemic situation is slowing down. However, the "protracted war" between people and the new crown virus is still in a stalemate, and the prevention and control pressure of "external defense, internal defense and rebound" still exists.
Data show that in the past month, the overall number of new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia worldwide has shown a downward trend.
"Whether it is in Europe, America, or Southeast Asia, the overall epidemic is slowing down." Zhang Boli analyzed that there are many reasons for the slowdown of the global epidemic, which have something to do with popular vaccination and increased protective measures.
"But it is too early to say that the epidemic has been brought under control, especially in winter, when the virus is often the most active period." Zhang Boli said that the "protracted war" between people and the new crown virus is still in a stalemate and cannot be relaxed.
Zhang Boli suggested that the public should continue to wear masks and wash hands frequently, and take care to maintain their own physical condition. People over 18 years of age who have been vaccinated for 6 months can encourage them to receive the new crown vaccine booster.
