This is an extremely difficult battle of prevention and control——

  In early March, Omikron raided Shanghai.

The speed is fast, the spread is hidden, and the number of infected people ranges from a few, hundreds to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands; the highest number of new cases in a single day is 27,000, and the cumulative number of positive infections of the new coronavirus exceeds 600,000.

  This is a battle of prevention and control that must be won-

  Adhering to the general policy of "dynamic clearing", Shanghai has adopted comprehensive prevention and control measures such as global static management, all staff testing and screening, comprehensive flow investigation and investigation, and whole-process inspection and filling of gaps, so as to "check everything that should be checked, and isolate everything that should be separated." , Receipt should be collected, and treatment should be done."

  Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, with the concerted efforts of the whole country and strong support, Shanghai has withstood the most severe test of prevention and control since the Wuhan defense war, and achieved phased results.

The megacities with 25 million people ushered in an important node of social clearing.

Every second counts, megacities face off against Omicron

  In the early morning of May 17, the Bund in Shanghai.

The bells rang out from the customs building with a history of nearly 100 years, and the familiar atmosphere of the city was gradually returning.

  In March, the number of new COVID-19 infections in Shanghai continued to rise, and the epidemic situation was severe and complicated:

  On March 12, Shanghai primary and secondary schools were adjusted to online teaching;

  On March 28, Shanghai implemented nucleic acid screening in batches with the Huangpu River as the boundary;

  On April 6, the cumulative number of reported infections exceeded 100,000;

  On April 13, the number of new cases in a single day reached a peak of 27,000...

  The epidemic is fierce!

It is a daunting task and a huge challenge to deal with the fast-spreading and hidden Omicron in the mega-city, and to maintain the normal operation of the city's core functions.

  The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has always adhered to the principle of putting people first and life first, insisting on external defense against imports, internal defense against rebound, and dynamic clearing, and constantly adjusts prevention and control measures according to the times and circumstances.

  Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control work takes the promotion of "dynamic clearing" as an unswerving goal, embodies unified thinking and understanding in all aspects, and coordinates the epidemic prevention and control and guarantees the operation of the city's core functions throughout. Continue to speed up the social cleanup.

  This is a blocking battle where every second counts—

  Omicron's transmission power is amazing, and it can spread to a generation in 2 to 3 days. It is an extremely difficult opponent for big cities.

  Since April, Shanghai has implemented the "nucleic acid + antigen" detection mode with the screening of all staff as a breakthrough to "fish out" the source of infection in time.

Deeply tap the potential, urgently expand equipment, recruit and train testing personnel, and the maximum testing capacity in a single day has increased to 8.5 million tubes, which is 8 times that of early March.

  This is an unrelenting defense battle—

  "Please show your health code." On the morning of May 17, at Wuzhong Apartment, Tianlin Street, Xuhui District, a single resident purchased living supplies arrived.

In the buffer zone at the entrance of the apartment, the property staff held a "digital sentinel" device and scanned the health code of the delivery brother. The key information such as the other party's body temperature and the 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate came out.

  Shanghai focuses on "management", optimizes community management and control, and strictly enforces closed-loop management of key venues and key personnel to block the chain of transmission.

With "transportation" as the center, it is urgent to promote "four requirements and four measures" to isolate and control the source of infection.

Continuously expand the treatment scale of Fangcang shelter hospitals, and do everything possible to expand isolation rooms.

  The megacities slowed down and calmed down, and were divided strictly according to the "three districts" to fight the virus.

When it was first divided on April 11, the number of prevention areas was less than that of closed and controlled areas; as of May 16, the population of Shanghai closed and controlled areas had dropped to less than one million, and the population of prevention areas was nearly 20 million.

  This is a tough battle to help each other in the same boat -

  Old communities, old-style lanes and urban-rural junctions have high population density and relatively poor living and sanitation conditions. The infected people from these areas once accounted for the majority of new positive infections, which is the most vulnerable "short board" to the virus. ".

Taking "pulling points" as the starting point, Shanghai will focus on tackling the difficulties in the streets and towns with severe epidemics, and speed up the promotion of social clearing.

  At the end of April, the number of new cases in a single day dropped to about 10,000;

  On May 10, 8 districts in Shanghai and some streets and towns in Pudong New Area have basically cleared the social situation;

  On May 15, the number of new cases in a single day dropped below 1,000;

  "At present, all 16 districts in Shanghai have achieved social clearance." Zhao Dandan, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, said at the Shanghai epidemic prevention and control press conference on the 17th.

 Build a strong barrier, everyone is on the front line of "Shanghai"

  On May 14, after more than 30 days of treatment, Ye Ming, a 108-year-old severe patient with the new crown in Shanghai, was discharged from the Pudong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University.

  As the oldest patient in China who has been discharged from the hospital with a severe nucleic acid from the new crown, Mr. Ye Lao had been on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea more than 70 years ago.

  "My family is very surprised that my father can be discharged from the hospital this time." Ye Fen, the old man's daughter, said that his father has coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, cerebral infarction and other basic diseases. Under the careful care of the nursing team, his various laboratory indicators and vital signs are improving day by day.

  The data reported on May 15, 16, and 17 showed that for three consecutive days, the number of new social faces in Shanghai was zero.

  This "zero" is not easy to come by.

  In this "Great Shanghai Defence War", community workers, grass-roots cadres, sinking cadres, public security officers, volunteers and residents carried forward the great anti-epidemic spirit, joined hands, worked in unity, and gathered together as a united force.

  White clothes are the armor, medical staff go to the mission with their lives——

On April 30, when they walked out of the hospital to go home, Xiaohua (right) and her sister turned around and waved goodbye to the medical staff who escorted them out of the hospital.

On the same day, Xiao Hua (pseudonym), a 3-year-old critically ill COVID-19 patient admitted to the southern branch of Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine (a designated hospital for COVID-19), was discharged from the hospital.

  For Shanghai, which has 5 million elderly people, Omicron is a more difficult exam question.

Hundreds of thousands of medical staff are practicing "people first, life first" at nucleic acid testing sites, wards, and shelters.

In designated hospitals such as the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, "multi-arms" cooperated and jointly fought to overcome the "severe" fortress, and many centenarians were cured and discharged.

"For each special case of the elderly, young, pregnant, and severe, targeted treatment should be given, and policies should be implemented according to the individual." said Fan Xiaohong, director of the center.

  On May 17, with the help of "Da Bai", 97-year-old grandma Song was discharged from the Luwan Branch of Ruijin Hospital. After 9 days of careful diagnosis and treatment by medical staff, she has turned negative for nucleic acid and is about to undergo follow-up treatment for basic diseases.

The medical defense line has been hit by the high pressure of the epidemic, and the total amount of medical resources is insufficient. The innovative model here allows 8 ICU beds to rotate efficiently.

  Go all out, tens of thousands of angels in white came to "Shanghai"——

  More than 30,000 medical staff and critical care experts from 22 provinces across the country have walked side by side with Shanghai at nucleic acid sampling sites, makeshift hospitals, and designated hospitals.

Support and assistance from all over the country and from all walks of life have poured into Shanghai to warm Shanghai, converging into a powerful force to overcome difficulties and fight the epidemic together.

  Hello, the Bund; goodbye, Shanghai.

On May 17, the Shandong medical team to Shanghai came to the Bund, "We are about to go back and say goodbye to Shanghai. Today, the society is cleared. I am really happy that I have a part in it." Some team members said.

  Ning Guang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Ruijin Hospital, sighed: "I can see the spirit of Chinese medical staff from the aid workers in Shanghai. They are the most lovely people."

  Come forward, community workers do the things around the masses——

  "In the post, you have to be on your own and take responsibility." "Post-90s" Pan Xiaozhe's voice was hoarse, but his tone was calm and firm.

  Since the current round of the epidemic, the young secretary of the Party branch and director of the neighborhood committee of Chongwen Community, Malu Town, Jiading District, shouted hoarse in a large number of continuous community work.

In the "epidemic" big test, Shanghai community cadres fought with all their might, took the initiative to undertake various urgent and dangerous tasks, and wrote their own answer sheets for the people.

  On the morning of May 17, Liang Xiaohui, who lives in Jing'an District, walked out of the community for the first time and walked into the nearby Lianhua supermarket after showing the community pass, scanning the "site code" and taking her temperature.

"Shanghai, which I am familiar with, is coming back." At 8 o'clock that morning, the supermarket officially adjusted from the previous online business model to a dual-line supply guarantee model of "online + offline".

  "Two-line battle", the "roar" of the industrial and real estate line sounded again -

  As of May 13, more than 4,400 of the more than 9,000 industrial enterprises above designated size in Shanghai have resumed work, accounting for nearly 50%; more than 3,000 of the three batches of "whitelist" enterprises have resumed work, with an overall resumption rate of over 70%.

  Recently, BASF Care Chemicals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and the Jinshan District Government "cloud signed" a high-end skin care and beauty product technical transformation project, with a total investment of about 280 million yuan.

"The epidemic has brought uncertainty, but we are still optimistic about the Chinese market," said Jia Peishi, general manager of BASF Care Chemicals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

  Watch and help each other, build a group defense and group control and anti-epidemic barrier——

  Hundreds of thousands of infected people rushed to the face, the city suddenly pressed the pause button, and many resources were in a hurry... 25 million Shanghai residents knew the general situation and took into account the overall situation.

  Organizing group purchases, transporting supplies, maintaining order... With party members and cadres as pioneers and models, "capable people" and volunteers in the Shanghai community have also stepped forward one after another.

Gradually "Shanghai" the Soviet Union, and strictly abide by the hard-won prevention and control results

  At 10 a.m. on May 17, at the International Peace Maternal and Child Health Hospital of China Welfare Association, with a clear cry, 30-year-old Ms. Niu welcomed her daughter, weighing 3,600 grams.

  "During the epidemic, every time we traveled, unfamiliar neighbors drove us for free. I didn't expect that the baby was born on the day when Shanghai's society was cleared." Ms. Niu said.

  At 11:00, the manager of Starbucks Huaihai West Road store, Sheng Li, skillfully packed 4 cups of lattes to the delivery boy.

In this store, which has just resumed business on the 16th, latte and caramel macchiato have become the most popular items. Consumers place orders online and are delivered by riders.

The "return" of a coffee shop is a microcosm of the city's gradual recovery.

  At 12 o'clock, at Xujiahui Station of Shanghai Metro, Zhang Qi, the stationmaster on duty, and his colleagues are carrying out daily routine disinfecting operations in the station hall and platform, focusing on places that are easily touched by hands such as conveyor belts, railings, and handrails. .

  The average daily passenger flow here is about 400,000, and it is currently out of service.

From May 22, ground bus and rail transit will resume operations gradually.

  According to the arrangement, Shanghai will resume normal production and life order in three phases, and strive to fully implement the normalized management of epidemic prevention and control under the premise of strictly preventing the rebound of the epidemic and controllable risks from June 1 to the middle and late June, and fully return to normal. production and living order.

  The epidemic in Shanghai has been effectively controlled, and the prevention and control has achieved phased results.

However, the risk of rebound still exists, and the foundation of prevention and control is not stable enough. It is still necessary to consolidate every responsibility link, refine every prevention and control measure, tighten every "faucet", and continuously consolidate and expand the clearing results.

  Focusing on the key points of reducing new growth and preventing rebound, Shanghai will establish and improve the "four mechanisms".

  ——Convenient and sensitive discovery mechanism.

  Taking normalized nucleic acid sampling sites as important infrastructure, all districts in Shanghai are actively building a "15-minute nucleic acid service circle" in areas such as residential communities, office spaces, corporate parks, subway stations, and transportation stations.

At present, more than 9,900 nucleic acid sampling points and 16,000 workstations have been set up.

  - Timely and efficient mechanism for dealing with emergencies.

  Early detection and early disposal are the keys to normalized epidemic prevention and control.

For key places such as enterprises, construction sites, and nursing homes, Shanghai has strengthened control and carried out special actions to strictly prevent "running and leaking" and consolidate the effectiveness of prevention and control.

  ——Dynamic adjustment management and control mechanism.

  As of 12:00 on May 12, 413,000 units including shops, residential quarters, shopping malls, supermarkets, and corporate factories in Shanghai had applied for 1.327 million "site codes".

Shanghai has formed epidemic prevention and control guidelines for different business types, "one industry, one guideline" and "one enterprise, one plan", and the construction of "epidemic-free communities" and "epidemic-free factories".

  - Self-disciplined self-health management mechanism.

  Fan Xiaolan, Secretary of the Party Branch of Fangzhouyuan Residential Area, Yueyang Street, Songjiang District, said that in order to build a "safety wall", three-level intelligent disinfecting equipment was introduced at the gate of the community, and "one household, one card, one person, one person" every day was strictly enforced to enter and leave the community.

"We mobilize everyone not to be slack in thinking, and if necessary, we have to hold back and cover up until we finally win."
