China News Service, Beijing, February 8 (Zhang Yilin) ​​is currently at the peak of the return journey of the Spring Festival travel, and the epidemic situation is spreading in some areas.

What is the overall situation of the epidemic across the country during the Spring Festival this year?

What are the regulations for return trips from low-risk areas and epidemic-related areas?

　　The Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the afternoon of the 8th. The heads of the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Health Commission, and the relevant departments of the National Railway Group attended the press conference, focusing on the prevention and control of the epidemic during and after the Spring Festival. work-related situations.

During the Spring Festival, the national epidemic prevention and control situation is generally stable

　　Mi Feng, a spokesman for the National Health Commission, said that during the Spring Festival, the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control across the country was stable, but there were still local clusters of epidemics that occurred and spread.

　　Mi Feng said that in response to the "layers of overweight" problems encountered by the masses returning to their hometowns during the Spring Festival, the comprehensive team of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council opened a public message board on January 29 for "the way to return home during the Spring Festival", and the staff promptly transferred messages every day. information, and promote local verification and processing as soon as possible.

At present, it is the peak of the return journey of the Spring Festival. We must continue to follow the "five musts" requirements, scientifically and accurately implement various prevention and control measures, and ensure the safe and orderly flow of people.

The epidemic situation in Baise, Guangxi is rapidly rising

　　He Qinghua, a first-level inspector of the National Health Commission's Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that during the Spring Festival, the epidemic situation across the country remained stable on the whole, and localized clustered epidemics were handled quickly and effectively. in the process of disposal.

　　The epidemic situation in Beijing and Tianjin is generally under control; the epidemic situation in Heihe, Heilongjiang has reported 7 cases of infection, and the virus sequence results of the infected person show that it is a variant of Omicron. This epidemic is caused by a new overseas import source. In the epidemic, the infected people have more activities before being controlled, and there is a certain risk of spread and spillover.

　　The Guangdong-Shenzhen Omicron-related epidemic has spread to 9 cities in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hunan, and the epidemics in Yunfu, Huizhou, Meizhou, Heyuan and other places in Guangdong have been brought under control; 2 cases of infection were found in the control area of ​​Shenzhen on February 6 , indicating that the epidemic still has the risk of spreading.

　　The epidemic affecting Baise, Guangxi is in the stage of rapid rise. More than 80% of the infected people in this epidemic live in the same natural village, and the spatial clustering is obvious. Due to the long hidden transmission time in the community, the many movement trajectories, and the flow of people during the Spring Festival The risk of further spread and spread is relatively high. It is necessary to complete the screening and control of risk personnel, speed up the nucleic acid screening in risk areas, and identify the source of infection in the community as soon as possible.

　　He Qinghua said that those infected with spillover cases from Baise to Nanning, Guangxi and Guangzhou, Guangdong had many trajectories before being controlled, and there was a risk of the spread of the epidemic.

Only 1 case has been reported in Shaoyang, Hunan. At present, the overall risk is not high, but it needs to be closely watched.

The working group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council has dispatched a working group to Guangxi as soon as possible to establish a flat command system in conjunction with the local area, and promote the implementation of measures such as regional nucleic acid screening, flow investigation traceability, and risk population screening, so as to bring the epidemic under control as soon as possible. .

The return journey from the Spring Festival travel must be safe and orderly, and try to travel off-peak as much as possible

　　He Qinghua reminded that the current global epidemic is still at a high level, and there are still scattered clusters of epidemics in some parts of the country. When the peak of the Spring Festival return journey is approaching, the return journey must still be safe and orderly, and try to travel at different peaks.

　　Strictly restrict travel for people from counties (cities, districts, flags) where medium and high risks are located, those who perform specific official duties, and those special people who need to travel to ensure production, life and transportation, with the approval of the local joint prevention and control mechanism, hold 48 hours of nucleic acid negative Prove that you can travel if you do a good job in personal travel protection and implement the epidemic prevention and control regulations of the destination.

　　Other non-epidemic counties (cities, districts, flags) in the city where the medium and high risk areas are located, these people do not travel unless necessary, and those who do need to travel must hold a negative nucleic acid certificate within 48 hours, take personal travel protection, and abide by the epidemic situation at the destination Prevention and control regulations.

　　Strictly limit travel to medium and high-risk areas, and do not travel to medium and high-risk counties (cities, districts, and flags) with epidemics unless necessary, and those who have arrived must abide by local epidemic prevention and control requirements.

　　How to do off-peak travel?

Universities and enterprises are encouraged to arrange staggered peak return to school and return to work, and local governments are encouraged to organize “point-to-point” transportation for migrant workers returning to work to reduce the risk of epidemics during travel.

　　He Qinghua also reminded the general public to pay attention to the epidemic prevention and control regulations of the destination, make preparations such as nucleic acid testing in advance, and take personal protection during the journey.

At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen personal health monitoring. If you have cold symptoms such as fever and cough, you should temporarily suspend the return trip or travel plan to avoid the aggravation of symptoms caused by the fatigue of the journey, and seek medical treatment in time, and arrange travel after recovery.
