On May 5, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to analyze the current situation of new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control, and research and deploy to pay close attention to the key work of epidemic prevention and control.
The meeting pointed out, "my country is a country with a large population, with a large aging population, unbalanced regional development, and insufficient medical resources. Relaxing prevention and control will inevitably lead to large-scale population infections, a large number of serious illnesses and deaths, economic and social development and people's safety and health. Health will be seriously affected." This is another emphasis and deployment of the CPC Central Committee on efficiently coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and unswervingly adhering to the general policy of "dynamic clearing".
The epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe. These are the clear requirements of the Party Central Committee.
Since mid-April, the overall epidemic situation in my country has shown a continuous downward trend. As of now, most provinces are low-risk areas.
However, the risk of rebound still exists, and the situation of epidemic prevention and control remains severe and complicated.
In the rich prevention and control practice, my country has accumulated a set of effective prevention and control measures.
After the emergency containment stage of sudden epidemics, the exploration stage of normalized epidemic prevention and control, and the "dynamic clearing" stage of precise prevention and control of the whole chain, since March this year, my country has entered the "scientific, accurate, dynamic and comprehensive" comprehensive prevention and control stage. The fourth stage of clearing.
It is precisely because of the continuous optimization and upgrading of prevention and control measures in accordance with the times and circumstances that we have protected the lives and health of the people to the greatest extent, and minimized the impact of the epidemic on the country's overall economic and social development.
If the epidemic cannot be prevented, economic and social development will be impossible.
Only by effectively controlling the epidemic can we provide a solid guarantee for people's lives, health and safety, and create preconditions for normal production and life.
By the same token, only when the economic and social development is basically stable can we provide a solid foundation for various tasks such as fighting the epidemic, stabilizing people's livelihood, and ensuring security.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has not only been the first to control the epidemic, the first to resume work and production, and the first to achieve positive economic growth among the world's major economies, but also overcome the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and dedicated a wonderful Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics to the world. meeting.
Data from the first quarter of this year showed that my country's GDP grew by 4.8% year-on-year, 0.8 percentage points higher than the growth rate in the fourth quarter of the previous year, and the overall economic operation achieved a stable start.
These are the outstanding achievements we have made in coordinating the battle of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and in the two major events of development and security.
At present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the Ukraine crisis have led to increased risks and challenges. The complexity, severity and uncertainty of my country's economic development environment have increased, and stable growth, employment, and prices are facing new challenges.
It is very important to do a good job of economic work and to ensure and improve people's livelihood.
And all of this is premised on preventing the epidemic.
As long as the epidemic does not end, the policy of adhering to external defense input, internal defense rebound, insisting on dynamic clearing, and efficient coordination of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development will not change; maximize the protection of people's lives and health, and minimize the impact of the epidemic. The demand for the impact of economic and social development will not be shaken.
Thousands of hardships and ten thousand blows are still strong, and Ren Er is wind from east to west from north to south.
The new crown pneumonia epidemic will inevitably have a greater impact on the economy and society.
At this time, the more we must look at my country's development from a comprehensive, dialectical and long-term perspective, and the more we must strengthen and strengthen our confidence.
As long as we unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, persevere, take more effective measures, and pay close attention to various epidemic prevention work, we will surely achieve a double victory in epidemic prevention and control and social and economic development!
