  According to Mi Feng, a spokesman for the National Health and Medical Commission, in March, the global epidemic was still in the pandemic stage, and the epidemic situation in neighboring countries and regions was showing an outbreak.

Community transmission in some areas has not been interrupted, and spillover cases have been reported. The prevention and control situation is severe and complicated.

Omicron is difficult to prevent and control

Expert:

Able to achieve the goal of "dynamic clearing"

  Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that based on our country's two years of prevention and control experience and our new understanding of the changes in the new crown virus, I personally believe that our country can achieve the goal of "dynamic clearing".

  He said that it should be acknowledged that due to the strong infectivity and rapid spread of the Omicron variant strain, coupled with a certain proportion of asymptomatic infections, it is more difficult to "dynamically clear" and "dynamically clear" The time required may be longer, but as long as the prevention and control measures are implemented strictly and quickly in every link, the goal of "dynamic clearing" will surely be achieved.

Can I still travel during the Qingming holiday?

Expert: Inter-provincial travel is not recommended

  Wu Zunyou said that spring is blooming, and everyone is encouraged to relax, go out on greens and outings.

During the Qingming Festival holiday, if you go out for an outing, you must pay attention to implementing personal protective measures to reduce the risk of contracting the new crown.

  First of all, it is not recommended to do cross-province outings.

Secondly, for outings in provinces and cities, you must choose a good destination, especially for the epidemic situation in the destination.

  For traditional sacrificial sweeping activities, if it involves travel between provinces and regions, it is not recommended to arrange traditional sacrificial sweeping activities. Modern electronic technology can be used to do sacrificial sweeping methods in the Internet or virtual world.

  For non-trans-provincial sacrificial sweeping activities, it is necessary to understand the epidemic situation in the location of the cemetery and the regulations on the management of the cemetery.

If you take public transportation on the way, pay attention to personal protective measures, wear masks, maintain hand hygiene, maintain social distance, etc.
