China News Service, Beijing, April 8 (Reporter Song Yusheng) For several consecutive days, Shanghai reported more than 10,000 new infections.

On April 7, there were more than 20,000 new cases of asymptomatic infections in Shanghai.

Since March this year, Shanghai has reported more than 100,000 cases of infection.

  Lei Zhenglong, deputy director of the National Health Commission's Disease Control Bureau and first-level inspector, said at a press conference recently that the epidemic in Shanghai was at its peak, and there was a lot of community transmission, which spilled over to many provinces and cities. severe.

  In the face of the faster-spreading and more insidious Omicron variant, the large number and high proportion of asymptomatic infections are the obvious characteristics of this round of epidemics.

  When will the inflection point of this round of epidemic come?

  Wu Zunyou, chief expert of epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, believes that the duration of this epidemic situation depends on our prevention and control strategies and the implementation of prevention and control measures.

  Under the new round of epidemic, the importance of "dynamic clearing" is further highlighted.

  The increased difficulty of "dynamic clearing" cannot be a reason for us to abandon this effective measure.

On the contrary, this requires us to implement epidemic prevention measures more quickly and thoroughly.

  Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, we have always insisted on putting people's lives and health first.

Epidemic prevention does have to pay a certain cost.

  "But life comes first. This is a price that must be paid and is worth paying, because economic losses can be made up, and people's lives will not come back if they are lost." Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, once pointed out in the article.

  Only by giving priority to the value of life, can the greatest prevention and control effect be achieved at the least cost, and the expected prevention and control effect can be achieved.

  Past practice has proved that "dynamic clearing" can eliminate the hidden dangers of the epidemic.

  Wu Zunyou once made it clear that only in this way can "a run on medical resources that may be caused by large-scale crowd infection can be avoided, and a large number of elderly people or people with underlying diseases can be prevented from dying."

  Jilin City has achieved social zero on April 8.

  Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Jilin City on March 2, after 37 days of continuous operations, everyone has seen the effect of "dynamic clearing".

  In the current environment, in a large country like China with a population of 1.4 billion, only by achieving "dynamic clearing" can the greatest prevention and control effect be achieved at the least cost.

  At present, the epidemic prevention and control in many places is in a critical period.

Tight and strict, early and fast, and careful and practical implementation of prevention and control measures can better achieve the established goal of "dynamic clearing".

  Since the outbreak, Shanghai has successively opened a number of designated hospitals and makeshift hospitals.

At the same time, 686,000 in-service party members in Shanghai reported to the community and participated in community closure and control, nucleic acid testing, and material security.

  With firm confidence and unwavering adherence to "dynamic clearing", we will surely be able to defeat the epidemic.
