China News Service, April 12. Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said on the 12th that my country's more than two years of prevention and control practice has proved that "dynamic clearing" is in line with China's actual situation, and it is my country's timely control of the new crown at this stage. One of the best options for the epidemic.
On the same day, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the strict and earnest efforts to prevent and control the epidemic.
A reporter asked at the meeting: Some people think that we can actually choose the third path between "clearing" and "laying flat", which is to allow the virus to spread at a low level. Is this view feasible?
In this regard, Wu Zunyou said that in terms of the prevention and control strategy of the new crown, we have been exploring and constantly improving according to the progress of the prevention and control work and our updated understanding of the new crown.
The biggest purpose of "dynamic clearing" is to do everything possible to protect the health and safety of the people.
Wu Zunyou pointed out that every country should hope to control the epidemic in time and reduce the threat to people's life and health through the implementation of effective prevention and control measures.
In the absence of a vaccine, mainly through physical isolation, these measures include restricting the movement of people, as well as wearing masks, maintaining social distance, hand hygiene, ventilation, etc.
The implementation of these measures requires strong coordination, and a game of chess across the country requires the cooperation and support of the common people.
In many countries, it is still very difficult to apply such a comprehensive comprehensive disposal in the form of physical isolation and achieve zero clearance. It is very difficult for other countries and regions to basically fail to do it or persist for a long time.
With the successful development of vaccines and widespread inoculation on a large scale, the protection of the new crown among the population has been improved, and vaccines have played a huge role in preventing infection, preventing severe illness, and reducing deaths.
"'Lying flat' is actually a helpless choice for other countries. After many attempts, they could not find an ideal strategy to control the new crown, so they simply 'lay flat'." Wu Zunyou said that the so-called "lying flat" In other words, in addition to strengthening vaccination, other prevention and control measures will not be emphasized or not taken at all.
After some countries "lay flat", the number of cases and deaths has increased significantly. At this time, these countries have retreated, tightened their prevention and control strategies, and added other prevention and control measures.
Wu Zunyou emphasized that my country's more than two years of prevention and control practices have proved that "dynamic clearing" is in line with China's actual situation, and it is the best choice for my country to control the new crown epidemic in a timely manner at this stage.
