In recent days, the number of new local infections in mainland China has rebounded, largely due to the rapid development of the epidemic in Inner Mongolia.
On June 8, there were 130 new local infections in Inner Mongolia (37 confirmed cases and 93 asymptomatic cases), accounting for nearly 80% of the total number of new local infections in mainland China that day.
As of 24:00 on the 8th, there were 370 local infections in Inner Mongolia (133 confirmed cases and 237 asymptomatic cases).
The current round of the epidemic in Inner Mongolia began on June 2, mainly in Erlianhot City, Xilin Gol League.

Erenhot City introduced on the 9th that there are currently 8 high-risk areas and 82 closed control areas in the city.
The second square cabin hospital was completed on the 8th, and patients began to be treated on the 9th.

The epidemic of a beauty salon in Shanghai affected nearly 500 customers
The Shanghai Municipal Health Commission reported that on the 8th, 4 new local confirmed cases and 5 asymptomatic infections were added in the city, all of which were found in isolation and control.
On the 9th, there were 5 new local confirmed cases and 1 local asymptomatic infection in the city, 3 of which were staff of the same beauty salon.
The Shanghai Municipal Health Commission said on the 9th that since June 1, there have been sporadic positive infections in Shanghai society, and the risk of epidemic rebound still exists.
Three staff members of the same beauty salon were infected, suggesting that there are still risks in areas where people gather in public places.
According to Xuhui District, where the epidemic-related beauty salon is located, the beauty salon has a total of 16 employees and will resume business on June 1.
So far, 481 customers have been investigated.
Whether the beauty salon has inadequate epidemic prevention measures is currently under investigation.
A preliminary investigation found that some employees of the beauty salon did not carry out daily nucleic acid testing as required.
The follow-up will be based on the results of the investigation, according to the provisions of the serious investigation of corresponding responsibilities.
According to another report, Shanghai has decided that the districts that have reported positive infections in the society since June 1 will carry out nucleic acid screening on the basis of the original normalized nucleic acid testing requirements, and implement closed management during the sampling period.
It is reported that 7 districts including Pudong New Area and Huangpu District will implement "exhaustive inspections" on weekends.
3 new social cases in Beijing involve the same bar, 2 new medium-risk areas in Dandong, Liaoning

The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported on the 9th that there were 3 new social cases in the city, all of whom had gone to the same bar.
This cluster of epidemics once again reminds that there is still a hidden risk of transmission in Beijing society.
All bars, KTVs, Internet cafes and other places must resolutely perform their main responsibilities, and those with insufficient prevention and control measures and poor underground airtight ventilation must be temporarily closed.
On the 8th, Liaoning Province added 11 local confirmed cases and 3 local asymptomatic infections, all in Dandong City.
From May 24 to June 8, more than 160 local infections have been reported in this round of epidemic in Dandong.
From June 9, Dandong 2 has been adjusted to a medium-risk area.
Dandong City reported on the 9th that of the 11 new confirmed cases in the city, 9 were the results of previously reported asymptomatic infections.
The other 2 confirmed cases and 3 asymptomatic infections were all detected at the isolation point, and there were no new social cases.
Official: Nucleic acid testing should not be the norm in areas with no epidemic and no import risk
He Qinghua, a first-level inspector of the National Health Commission's Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, said on the 9th that nucleic acid testing is the most scientific and effective method for early detection and early disposal of the epidemic.
However, after the outbreak of a clustered epidemic, according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, it is necessary to scientifically determine and formulate nucleic acid testing strategies, delineate the scope and frequency of nucleic acid testing, and avoid blindly expanding the scope of nucleic acid testing for all employees.
He Qinghua pointed out that the focus of nucleic acid testing should be on high-risk groups and staff in high-risk positions, as well as areas with epidemics.
There is no need for frequent nucleic acid testing in low-risk areas, low-risk groups, and long-term home populations.
If there is no epidemic and there is no risk of importation, nucleic acid inspection should not become the norm.
At the press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held on the 9th, in response to the question of "whether it is necessary to build a 15-minute nucleic acid sampling circle on a large scale", Guo Yanhong, the supervisory commissioner of the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission, responded that in port cities, The establishment of nucleic acid sampling circles with a 15-minute walk in provincial capital cities and cities with a population of 10 million and other regions with a high risk of epidemic importation is conducive to providing more convenient services for those who should be tested and those who are willing to be tested, and is conducive to improving epidemic monitoring and early warning. Sensitivity is also conducive to earlier detection of potential risks and avoidance of large-scale and explosive cluster outbreaks.
However, Guo Yanhong emphasized that the 15-minute nucleic acid sampling circle is not required to be established in all cities, mainly concentrated in cities with a high risk of epidemic importation, especially large cities with large populations.
Whether to build a 15-minute nucleic acid sampling circle and the frequency of testing are mainly based on local conditions and work needs.
