Today's Editorial
The current round of the epidemic in Beijing has been effectively controlled, and the overall situation is improving.
The epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai has achieved phased results, and the epidemic situation in various places has shown a fluctuating downward trend.
Practice has once again proved that we have the foundation, conditions and ability to achieve dynamic zeroing.
At present, the global epidemic is still at a high level, and the virus is still mutating.
We will further unify our thoughts and actions into the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee. The whole country will play a game of chess and work together to resolutely consolidate the hard-won results of epidemic prevention and control. We will surely win the tough battle of epidemic prevention and control.
On May 28, Beijing held the 348th press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
Xu Hejian, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, director of the Municipal Government Information Office, and spokesman for the municipal government, introduced that Beijing has achieved a decline in the number of new coronary pneumonia cases for 6 consecutive days, and the number of social cases has been cleared on the 27th. Cleared, the overall epidemic situation in Beijing is on a downward trend, sporadic cases in individual districts are all within control, and the current round of epidemic has been effectively controlled.

At present, the current round of the epidemic in Beijing has been effectively controlled, and the overall situation is improving, but it is still at a critical stage of transition from emergency response to normalized prevention and control. The risk of rebound still exists, and the foundation of prevention and control needs to be solid, and there is no room for slack.
In the next stage of dynamic implementation of social prevention and control measures by zoning and grading, key epidemic-related areas such as closed control areas will be unblocked in time after full evaluation and compliance with conditions.
At the same time, in order to continue to consolidate the current good situation, it is still necessary to implement measures such as suspending the resumption of dine-in restaurants in catering institutions and suspending the return of primary and secondary schools to kindergartens. The general public should fully understand and support this.
The achievements of epidemic prevention and control are hard-won, and the task of preventing the epidemic from rebounding is arduous.
To this end, we must keep a clear head, overcome paralysis, war weariness, fluke mentality, and slack mentality, and further compress the "quartet of responsibilities".
It is necessary to strictly implement social epidemic prevention measures, prevent slack, prevent dead ends, and prevent rebounds, and comprehensively and continuously promote dynamic clearing to ensure that the positive situation can be continuously consolidated and strengthened.
This round of epidemic is the most severe test for the capital's prevention and control work since 2020.
From April 22 to 15:00 on May 28, the city reported a total of 1,716 cases of new coronary pneumonia virus infections, involving 15 districts and economic development zones.
In recent days, Beijing has been experiencing continuous high temperatures and summers. Nucleic acid testing workers "Da Bai" and volunteers "Xiao Lan" on the front line of the anti-epidemic are wearing protective clothing, sweating like rain and working day and night.
The more arduous the task of epidemic prevention and control is, the more we must strengthen the demonstration of party members.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, more than 100,000 party members and cadres of party and government organs at the city and district levels, as well as party members and cadres of enterprises and institutions have settled in the community, effectively ensuring the implementation of key tasks of epidemic prevention and control.
The medical workers, cadres and volunteers who are fighting on the front line of epidemic prevention and control have worked tirelessly to gather the confidence and strength to fight the epidemic together, fully embodying the political responsibility to ensure the safety of the capital and the lives, health and safety of the people.
In recent days, the national epidemic situation has also continued to decline steadily.
From 0:00 to 24:00 on May 27, there were 71 new local confirmed cases and 193 local asymptomatic infections in 31 provinces, with no new deaths.
At present, more than 10 provinces still report new local infections every day, and the national epidemic prevention and control situation is still severe and complicated.
The number of newly reported infections in Shanghai has dropped to less than 500 for several consecutive days. The epidemic continues to be stable and under control. However, compared with other cities in the country, it is still at a higher risk level, and some key points still need to be vigilant. The local epidemic rebounded.
Recently, there have been sporadic new positive infections in several districts in Shanghai, and people leaving the key areas of the epidemic have also reported confirmed news from time to time after arriving at their destinations. The relevant situation needs to be closely followed.
For sporadic new positive infections, although there is no need to panic, it must also be taken seriously.
Relevant regions should continue to adhere to the general policy of "dynamic clearing" and unswervingly, deal with the epidemic situation quickly, check loopholes and make up for shortcomings, prevent the epidemic from rebounding, and restore normal production and living order as soon as possible.
Bewitched by erroneous views, my country's Taiwan region has recently relaxed epidemic control.
Taiwan announced on the 27th that there were more than 90,000 new local confirmed cases of the new crown, and 126 deaths. The local epidemic mortality rate has exceeded one thousandth in recent days.
What is even more worrying is that the infection rate of children under the age of 12 in Taiwan is as high as nearly 6%, and there have been many deaths.
How to prevent children from contracting the virus and becoming seriously ill has become the biggest concern of many local parents.
The current round of the epidemic in Beijing has been effectively controlled, and the prevention and control of the epidemic in Shanghai has achieved phased results.
Practice has once again proved that we have the foundation, conditions and ability to achieve dynamic zeroing.
At present, the global epidemic is still at a high level, the virus is still mutating, and new "variants" appear from time to time in words and deeds that distort, doubt and deny my country's anti-epidemic policies and policies.
Omicron is neither a "big flu" nor a "natural vaccine". We must maintain a high degree of vigilance against various fallacies related to "coexistence with the virus" and resolutely resist and criticize it.
Persistence is victory, perseverance is sure to win.
We will further unify our thoughts and actions into the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee. The whole country will play a game of chess and work together to resolutely consolidate the hard-won results of epidemic prevention and control. We will surely win the tough battle of epidemic prevention and control.
