Beijing, February 7 (Reporter Song Bailin) "This year's Spring Festival due to the impact of the epidemic, especially after the holiday passenger flow has dropped significantly, since the holiday, the average number of people sent every day is only 2.38 million, a drop of nearly 80%, that is to say, only 1/5 of the normal situation of the Spring Festival." On the afternoon of the 6th, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference, and Huang Xin, director of the passenger transport department of the State Railway Group, said that in order to cope with the possible return peak, the passenger transport department of the State Railway Group still arranged the transportation capacity in a scientific and orderly manner, and laid a good foundation for the return journey through scientific arrangement of the transportation capacity.

Huang Xin stressed that the Passenger Transport Department of the State Railway Group conscientiously implemented the important instructions and speech spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and took targeted measures to do a good job in prevention and control in accordance with the overall deployment of the Central Leading Group for Epidemic Response on strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic in return transportation. Specifically, there are three aspects:

The first is how to prevent the concentration of crowds. First of all, we strengthen control over the source of ticketing. By strengthening ticket management and controlling the load factor of passenger trains, we will control the load factor of passenger trains at about 50% in recent days, and at the same time implement decentralized ticket sales. While controlling the total amount, we guide everyone to disperse and sit after the passengers get on the train through the train staff to avoid the gathering of people. Improve the service mode in the train, no longer get together to open meals, and adopt the method of delivering box lunches to avoid passengers walking around in the carriage. At the same time, it is accompanied by radio propaganda guidance to inform passengers not to move around in the carriage. Reserved some seat space necessary for epidemic prevention and control, for various models, all kinds of seats have reserved a certain amount of space, reserved private rooms, reserved the corresponding sleeper seats, corresponding seat seats, once there is an epidemic that needs to be isolated, there can be a separate space for prevention and control.

The second is the problem of how to prevent and control stations and trains. First of all, strictly do a good job of measuring the temperature of stations and trains. At present, there are 2337 passenger handling stations in the national railway, and the temperature measurement of in and out of the station has been fully implemented. On the basis of doing a good job of temperature measurement in and out of the station, during the operation of the train, strengthen the sampling of temperature measurement, if abnormal conditions are found, timely transfer to the health department of the front station, and take measures for on-site screening, isolation and treatment in accordance with the process. At the same time, we must strengthen the health management of station cars, strictly enforce defensive measures such as ventilation and disinfection and sanitation of station cars, strengthen ventilation on the way of ordinary trains, and set fresh air volume to the maximum gear of air conditioning trains. For stations with large passenger flow, increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfection in places with dense passenger flow, and carry out comprehensive disinfection of trains that arrive and depart. At the same time, strengthen the self-protection of staff serving passengers. We also remind the majority of passengers to pay attention to their own protection, and many of the measures we have taken also require the support, understanding and cooperation of the majority of passengers.

The third is to ensure the safe and smooth flow of railway transportation. As the main artery of the national economy, the railway must ensure the safety and smoothness of the main artery during this period, provide a strong transportation guarantee for the necessary travel of passengers, for the transportation of prevention and control materials and medical personnel, for the transportation of materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and for the normal operation of the national economy.
