  From November 27th to 30th, the 11th Yunnan Provincial Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Kunming. During this period, epidemic prevention and control became a frequent word in many border cities in Yunnan.

Jiang Shan, secretary of the Dehong Prefecture Party Committee of Yunnan Province, said, “We must find every means to guard the'side', form a'belt', protect the'city', control the'road', and'aid' to foreign countries... guard the southwest gate of the motherland."

  When the Tenth Congress of the Communist Party of China in Yunnan Province was held five years ago, poverty alleviation, political ecology, and ecological civilization were the top concerns of more than 700 party representatives in the province.

However, since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia at the end of 2019, Yunnan, located in the southwestern border of China and connected to the mountains and rivers of Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, has faced unprecedented pressure to import the epidemic from abroad. The prevention and control of the epidemic has also become an important discussion among the Yunnan party representatives. topic.

  Wang Ning, secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, made a "report" at the opening meeting, stating that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, more than 100,000 Yunnan’s party, government, military, police and civilians have adhered to the front line of the border, and that the "external defense import, internal defense rebound" "Strictly prevent export" work, deal with sudden epidemics in time, and firmly control the epidemic at the front line of the border, which has made important contributions to the prevention and control of the national epidemic.

  Weng Caolu, Secretary of the Party Branch of Huyu Village, Huyu Township, Ruili City, Dehong Prefecture said emotionally, “As a grassroots party representative, in the past two years of epidemic prevention and control work, I deeply feel that the party committees and governments at all levels have been The care and concern of the people of Ruili. With the strong leadership of the party, we are confident and determined to resolutely win the battle against the epidemic prevention and control and protect our home.” She suggested that the rural grid staff who have been involved in the management of the epidemic prevention and control grid for a long time Give a certain amount of living allowances in order to better carry out epidemic prevention work.

  Li Guoqian, deputy dean of Zhenkang County People's Hospital in Lincang City, said that in light of the fact that Zhenkang County borders Myanmar, she will go all out to prevent and control the epidemic in the next step.
