Wang Hesheng, deputy director of the National Health Commission and director of the National Bureau of Disease Control, said at the meeting that further efforts should be made. Improve the level of scientific and precise prevention and control.

Strictly implement the pre-examination triage and the responsibility system for the first diagnosis, improve the multi-point trigger early warning mechanism, and promote the monitoring model of "antigen screening and nucleic acid diagnosis".

  Wang Hesheng introduced that in response to the recent local clustered epidemics in some parts of the country, the National Health Commission and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, together with relevant departments, have strengthened the prevention and control guidance for key epidemic areas, and implemented "early detection, early reporting, early isolation, "Early treatment", strictly carry out prevention and control work, and resolutely take more effective and targeted measures, strive to effectively control local clustered epidemics as soon as possible, and create a good environment for people's lives and economic and social development.

  The first is to quickly carry out emergency response to the epidemic.

Recently, local clustered epidemics across the country have been characterized by numerous, wide-ranging and frequent occurrences.

The comprehensive team of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council quickly dispatched a national working group to Jilin, Shandong, Guangdong, Heilongjiang and other provinces to guide the handling of the epidemic, jointly analyze and judge the epidemic situation, study the measures for epidemic prevention and control, and speed up the development of nucleic acid screening and distribution. Measures such as investigations and regional co-investigations shall be implemented, the requirements of the "Four Mornings" shall be implemented, the medical treatment of patients shall be fully done, and the spread of the epidemic shall be blocked.

  The second is to build a solid "external defense input" line of defense.

Adhere to the prevention of people, things, and the environment, strengthen the management of personnel in high-risk positions at ports, strict closed-loop management, and encrypt the frequency of nucleic acid testing; strengthen the prevention of risks such as imported cold-chain food and high-risk non-cold-chain items; continue to strengthen border port management , and intensify the crackdown on illegal entry and exit activities.

Vigorously promote the construction of joint prevention and control mechanisms in border areas with land neighbors, and jointly do a good job in border epidemic prevention and customs clearance of goods.

  The third is to further improve the ability of epidemic prevention and control and disposal.

Improve surveillance, epidemiological investigation, isolation medical observation, community (village) epidemic prevention and control, sample collection and testing, and other prevention and control plans, and implement “reporting every yang, every yang, and as soon as you receive a report after the initial nucleic acid screening is positive. "Check, manage first and then screen", to standardize the screening of risk personnel, the management of close contact, and the delineation of risk areas after the outbreak of the epidemic.

Adhere to the equal emphasis on traditional Chinese and Western medicine, homogenize and standardize the treatment of patients.

Comprehensively strengthen the responsibility system for the first diagnosis of medical institutions and the prevention and control measures of hospital infection, and carry out ledger management of more than 7,000 fever clinics and more than 800 designated hospitals.

The construction of nucleic acid testing capacity has been strengthened, and the national overall testing capacity has exceeded 40 million copies per day.

  Fourth, do a good job of vaccination.

According to the deployment of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, guide all localities to actively, steadily and orderly promote the vaccination of the new coronavirus and strengthen the immunization work, and continuously improve the coverage of vaccination.

  Wang Hesheng said that the results of epidemic prevention and control are hard-won and should be cherished.

In the next step, we will work with relevant departments to thoroughly implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and continue to strengthen the key work of epidemic prevention and control.

  The first is to control local clustered epidemics as soon as possible.

Guide the key areas of the epidemic to speed up nucleic acid screening and the investigation, flow adjustment, and control of risk personnel, and to achieve social "dynamic clearing" as soon as possible.

  The second is to resolutely defend the line of defense of "foreign defense input".

Do a good job in remote prevention and control before entry, highlight the closed-loop management of personnel, and expand the monitoring coverage of key personnel.

Consolidate the responsibilities of the special class at the port, and strengthen the patrol of rivers and coastlines and the deployment and control of epidemic prevention forces.

  The third is to strengthen the normalized epidemic prevention and control management in key places and key areas.

Guide schools, nursing homes, prisons and other key places, transportation stations, supermarkets and other crowded places, cold chain, supermarkets, logistics and other practitioners to strictly implement epidemic prevention measures.

  The fourth is to further improve the level of scientific and precise prevention and control.

Strictly implement the pre-examination triage and the responsibility system for the first diagnosis, improve the multi-point trigger early warning mechanism, and promote the monitoring model of "antigen screening and nucleic acid diagnosis".

Guide local scientific and precise prevention and control to minimize the impact on economic and social development.
