Today (December 11), the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism press conference was held.
Since December, my country's new round of newly confirmed cases of the epidemic has mainly concentrated in port cities and adjacent areas.
What is the current situation of the national epidemic?
Does the Omi Keron variant have an impact on the prevention and control of the epidemic?
A quick overview of the main points of the conference↓↓↓
The current round of the epidemic in Manzhouli is not related to the previous epidemic
According to the virus gene sequencing analysis of the Manzhouli epidemic in Inner Mongolia, the current round of the epidemic was caused by a new overseas source, which was not related to the previous epidemic in Inner Mongolia.
This round of the epidemic first detected cases in Manzhouli, Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, spreading a total of 4 provinces and 6 cities.
At present, the local epidemic situation in Manzhouli is still in a stage of continuous development, and the number of reported cases has fluctuated and declined recently, and the development trend of the epidemic still needs to be closely observed.
As of 8 o'clock on December 11, a total of 529 patients were admitted to the Manzhouli epidemic, and 29 were severely ill, with a severe rate of 5.5%. Currently, the majority of mild cases have been cured. The first 5 patients were cured and discharged yesterday.
The recent local spread of the epidemic and the coexistence of small-scale clusters
The current national epidemic situation is generally stable. Recently, local small-scale epidemics caused by overseas imports have occurred in some areas.
The risk of the epidemic in Harbin, Heilongjiang has been reduced, with only sporadic cases reported in recent days.
There have been no new cases in Tongliao, Qiqihar, Shijiazhuang and Beijing for more than 5 consecutive days, and the epidemic has been well controlled.
The spread of the epidemic in Longchuan, Yunnan is limited and has been basically brought under control.
The viral genome sequences of the epidemic cases in Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu are highly homologous, and they are the same related epidemic.
At present, the overall epidemic situation in Shanghai is relatively stable.
The epidemics in Shaoxing, Ningbo, and Hangzhou in Zhejiang have developed rapidly, and the transmission relationship between cases is relatively clear, mainly involving families and crowd gathering places.
Currently, only scattered cases have been detected in Shaanxi, and no spread has occurred.
On the whole, the recent domestic epidemic has shown multiple transmission chains, with the coexistence of local sporadic and small-scale clusters.
"Omi Keron" does not affect the sensitivity and specificity of mainstream nucleic acid detection reagents in my country
At present, the global pandemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is still in the development stage. The number of new confirmed cases per week continues to exceed 4 million, and the mortality rate has risen. The Omi Keron variant has further increased the uncertainty of the epidemic, and my country’s "foreign defense import" pressure continues to increase. big.
According to the genome analysis of the Omi Keron mutant strain by relevant domestic institutions, the mutation site does not affect the sensitivity and specificity of the mainstream nucleic acid detection reagents in my country.
Virus mutations have not affected the sensitivity of detection, and nucleic acid testing is still a key technical means to find people infected with the new coronavirus.
Up to now, a total of 11,744 medical and health institutions across the country have carried out new coronavirus nucleic acid testing services, and the country’s overall nucleic acid testing capacity has reached 29.95 million copies per day per tube.
If 10:1 mixed sample detection is carried out, the nucleic acid detection capacity can also be doubled.
Ports are the top priority for epidemic prevention and control
Since December, my country's new round of newly confirmed cases of the epidemic has mainly concentrated in port cities and adjacent areas.
The key to epidemic prevention and control is to grasp "prevention."
"Dynamic reset" is not lying flat
At the press conference, Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the Leading Group for Epidemic Response and Handling of the National Health Commission, also explained the connotation of "dynamic reset".
"Dynamic clearing" is not "zero infection." There is no ability to prevent a single local case, but it has the ability and confidence to quickly extinguish the epidemic when a local case is found.
It is not the pursuit of "zero infection", but the pursuit of extinguishing the epidemic as soon as possible.
"Dynamic clearing" is not about lying flat, not allowing the epidemic to develop, but about controlling it and cutting it off.
Take care!
The risk of spreading the epidemic on holidays is greater
New Year's Day and Spring Festival are approaching, and the risk of epidemic spread is relatively high.
We must work harder on scientific and precise epidemic prevention, and if an epidemic is found, we will completely fight it out together to ensure that everyone spends a healthy and safe holiday.
