The second is to strengthen monitoring and early warning.

In case of emergency, increase nucleic acid and antigen detection monitoring, fever clinic monitoring, monitoring of key institutions, etc.;
The third is to adjust the detection strategy.
Nucleic acid screening for all staff will no longer be carried out, and community residents are "willing to do all the tests" as needed.

Carry out antigen or nucleic acid testing after relevant symptoms appear in community high-risk individuals with severe illness;

As for what emergency prevention and control measures can be taken under what circumstances, Lei Zhenglong pointed out that according to the relevant provisions of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases", when an infectious disease breaks out or spreads, the local people's government at or above the county level must report to the higher-level people if necessary. The government agrees that some emergency epidemic prevention and control measures can be taken and announced.
When the new crown epidemic breaks out and is popular, some emergency prevention and control measures can also be taken in a timely, lawful and selective manner, including suspending non-essential large-scale activities and suspending the business activities of large entertainment venues; museums, art galleries and other indoor public places Take appropriate measures strict management of elderly care institutions, social welfare institutions and other places where vulnerable groups are concentrated; the implementation of staggered time and peak commuting, flexible working system, or adopting measures such as home office; and educational institutions adopt temporary online teaching, etc.
