China News Service, May 15 (Xinhua) According to news released by Shanghai, at the press conference on Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control work held this morning (May 15), Zhao Dandan, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, introduced: On May 14, Shanghai The city added 166 local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 1,203 local asymptomatic infections.

Among the 166 local confirmed cases, 55 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, and 111 were asymptomatic infected persons and turned into confirmed cases.

All 1,203 local asymptomatic infections were found in closed-loop isolation control.

　　As of 24:00 on May 14, 286 severe patients and 67 critically ill patients had been treated in designated medical institutions.

　　On May 14, 3 new local deaths were reported, with an average age of 75 years.

All three patients had severe acute and chronic underlying diseases, including restrictive heart disease, acute coronary syndrome, acute renal insufficiency, rheumatic heart disease complicated with mitral valve stenosis, and severe hypertension.

Of the 3 deaths, 1 had been vaccinated against the new crown, and the remaining 2 had not been vaccinated against the new crown.

The immediate cause of death is the underlying disease.

　　As of 9:00 on May 15: A total of 881,429 close contacts in Shanghai have been investigated for this epidemic, all of which have been put under control.

　　Recently, Shanghai has continued to carry out combined screening of "antigen + nucleic acid" based on the division of the three zones.

According to the screening results, on May 14, the city was divided into 4,743 closed control areas, involving a population of 1.15 million; 17,936 control areas, involving a population of 3.48 million; and 50,558 prevention areas, involving a population of 18.64 million.

　　Yesterday, 290 local confirmed cases in the city were discharged from hospital, and 4,003 asymptomatic infected persons were released from centralized isolation and medical observation.

　　Zhao Dandan said that it is gratifying that one of the patients discharged from Pudong Hospital yesterday was a 108-year-old Mr. Ye, who is the oldest severely ill patient discharged from the current round of the new crown epidemic in Shanghai.

Under the symptomatic treatment and careful care of a multidisciplinary expert team and a specialized nursing team, the centenarian finally turned the corner and was discharged from the hospital, setting a record for the age of patients with severe new crowns in China.

Mr. Ye Lao once participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. He and the old man Wang Manru, who was reported by the media a few days ago, were comrades-in-arms, and both were medical staff of the Oriental Hospital.

I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to our heroes!

And extend the most sincere wishes: I wish you happiness and health!

　　Recently, the sampling teams from Shanghai have left Shanghai one after another.

Here, Zhao Dandan announced that since the first support and sampling team arrived in Shanghai on March 28, about 25,000 sampling team members from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other provinces and cities have carried out nucleic acid screening work.

During this period, a total of 430 million people were screened in the city, of which nearly 40% of the sampling was undertaken by the sampling team members in Shanghai.

　　Zhao Dandan said that during the days when the sampling team was in Shanghai, they were not afraid of hardship, fatigue, and continuous fighting. Many team members were temporarily notified and departed from their stations in other provinces and cities in the early morning, and stayed overnight after completing the sampling task that day. It's very hard to get back to the station.

At the same time, he always adheres to the norm first in his work, and uses professional skills and courage to fight to demonstrate the boundless love of doctors.

When our epidemic prevention and control were the most strenuous, they were in white clothes and firmly adhered to "Shanghai", making important contributions to the phased results of epidemic prevention and control.

Here, I would like to express my highest respect and heartfelt thanks to the nursing sampling team and their families!

　　Recently, with the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation, the sampling teams from Shanghai are leaving Shanghai one after another. Everyone is worried that Shanghai's nucleic acid screening capacity will decline with the departure of foreign aid?

Zhao Dandan said, please rest assured.

Since the epidemic, on the one hand, Shanghai has benefited from the support of other provinces and cities and has completed multiple rounds of nucleic acid screening tasks; on the other hand, through the support of other provinces and cities, Shanghai has won a valuable time window. Improve, strengthen and enhance their own nucleic acid screening capabilities.

　　In nucleic acid screening, there are two key links, one is on-site sampling, and the other is laboratory testing.

Through the efforts of all parties, in terms of sampling capacity, through potential exploration, recruitment and other forms, the reserve of sampling personnel has been continuously increased, and special training has been carried out. At present, a sampling team of about 38,000 people has been reserved. This team will not only become the It is an important force in the follow-up screening work, and has laid a solid foundation for comprehensively promoting the layout of normalized sampling points and playing their role.

In terms of laboratory testing capacity, the city's maximum single-day testing capacity has increased from 1.028 million tubes before the current round of the epidemic to more than 8.5 million tubes by adding testing institutions, adding cabin laboratories and mobile testing vehicles.

The improvement of laboratory testing capabilities can not only meet the needs of normalized testing in Shanghai, but also enable faster reporting of test results and better meet the needs of citizens for work and life.

　　Zhao Dandan said that the improvement of work capabilities in these two aspects will strongly support Shanghai's own nucleic acid screening capabilities, so please rest assured that Shanghai will start from demand and reality, and go all out to do a good job in the follow-up. For screening tasks and daily testing work, please continue to support and cooperate as always.
