The Spring Festival is approaching, and the official customs clearance between Hong Kong and the mainland can be expected, but the Delta strain has not yet subsided, and the Olmi kerong strain is threatening. Shenzhen, which is at the southern gate of the motherland and the front line of epidemic prevention, requires that "the string of epidemic prevention and control be tightened at all times".
At present, the global epidemic situation is still in a state of pandemic, and the risk of the epidemic entering China from neighboring countries has greatly increased due to factors in winter and spring, and the emergence of the new coronavirus variant Aomi Kerong has added new variables to the anti-epidemic process.
On 29 November, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke at a special session of the World Health Assembly about the recent COVID-19 variant virus, the Omiljun strain. He said the high degree of mutation of the virus reminds us that we are still in a fragile, unstable state.
Now that the end of the year is approaching, the New Year's Day and Spring Festival holidays will follow, and the news shows that Shenzhen and Hong Kong are expected to usher in customs clearance, increased personnel flow, and strong logistics demand, which will bring new challenges to epidemic prevention and control.
Under such a situation, on December 4, Wang Weizhong, secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, presided over the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the meeting of the Municipal Leading Group (Headquarters) for the Prevention and Control of New Coronary Pneumonia to study and deploy the epidemic prevention and control work, and the meeting stressed that adhering to the "external strict prevention of import, internal strict prevention of rebound" is unswerving, and the string of epidemic prevention and control is tightened at all times.
On December 4, the Greater Bay Area International Vaccine Innovation Center was officially inaugurated and held an opening ceremony in the Biomedical Innovation Industrial Park in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, and the second Greater Bay Area (Shenzhen) Vaccine Summit kicked off at the same time, Academician Zhong Nanshan said in an online speech, "For the response to Aomi Kerong, some countries have adopted a 'lockdown' to deal with it, I think China does not have to be afraid, using the strategy of community dynamic clearance, can achieve accurate prevention and control, and prevention is still the key to preventing and controlling the epidemic." ”
When talking about the strengthening of the injection after the full vaccination of the vaccine, Zhong Nanshan said that after two doses of inactivated vaccination, the third dose of the original vaccine is effective and has proved to have clinical protection enhancement in the real world. At the same time, after two doses of inactivated virus vaccination, mRNA vaccine, subunit protein vaccine, and adenovirus vector vaccine were effective. Zhong Nanshan analyzed that although the inactivated vaccine has a slightly lower protection rate, it does cover the widest range, "I believe it will not be completely ineffective against Aomi Kerong." In addition, Zhong Nanshan believes that now is not an urgent need to adjust the vaccine, we need to see the development trend of the Aumechjong virus in about two or three weeks.
The Hong Kong SAR Government announced on the 2nd that the "Hong Kong Health Code" (hereinafter referred to as the "Hong Kong Health Code") system will be opened from 9:00 a.m. on December 10 for the public to apply for account registration, so that the public can try and become familiar with the functions of the "Hong Kong Health Code" as soon as possible, and can operate smoothly when Hong Kong and the Mainland officially clear customs. The "Hong Kong Kang Code" is used to cooperate with customs clearance in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, so as to ensure that the relevant persons are not high-risk infected persons when passing customs, and will not bring additional risks to the prevention and control of the epidemic in the mainland, which is conducive to joint prevention and control.
Prevention and control still cannot be relaxed. From the domestic situation, since the beginning of winter, the epidemic has shown a multi-point sporadic trend, on October 17, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, 2 new cases of local confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia, after which this round of epidemic once affected more than 20 provinces; recently, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Harbin, Hulunbuir, Shijiazhuang and other places have appeared local confirmed cases, the risk of spread still exists.
Previously, on November 26, the World Health Organization named the new coronavirus variant "B.1.1.529" found in South Africa as "Omi kerong" and listed it as a mutant strain that needs "attention". On November 29, local time, WHO pointed out in its latest report that the overall risk level of the new crown variant virus Omilkejung strain in the world is "very high".
In just a few days, this new variant of the new coronavirus has spread to many continents including Europe, Asia, Africa, the ocean and North America, and the speed of transmission is amazing. But the slightly reassuring news is that, according to Xinhua News Agency, South African Medical Association President Ann Helik Kuche said on November 27 that the country's frontline doctors generally reported that patients infected with the Omiljun strain usually have milder symptoms and have hardly had serious diseases so far. Ubon Pilai, a veteran doctor who runs a clinic in Hautten province, where the number of cases in South Africa has soared recently, also said on November 29 that the number of COVID-19 patients who have recently come to the hospital has increased significantly, but the symptoms are generally mild. He said that most patients have flu-like symptoms, such as dry cough, fever, limb pain, etc., but the number of hospitalizations has not increased significantly.
Domestic experts have also made judgments on Aomi Kerong. Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the National Health Commission's leading group for the response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, said in an interview with CCTV that after the Omicron came out, we found that its spike protein had changed, and where the epidemiological significance of this change was and where the clinical significance was, which needed to be further observed. At least it has now been proven that even as the virus changes, our vaccines are still effective. How effective is the vaccine against Omikeron? How much will it be affected? Scientists are working on it, but the general idea is that it will definitely work, and everyone should still have confidence in the vaccine.
This year, Shenzhen has successively occurred two local new crown pneumonia epidemics in Yantian Port "5.21" and Bao'an International Airport "6.14", Shenzhen found timely, rapid response, precise measures, control in place, the epidemic did not spread, spread, has been timely and effective control.
At 0-24:00 on December 3, Shenzhen imported a new case of asymptomatic infection from abroad. The case, a female, Chinese nationality, imported from South Africa, arrived in Shenzhen on 11 November from Johannesburg, South Africa. After entering the country, he was centrally isolated, and then transferred to the emergency branch of the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen for observation and treatment, and the situation was stable.
With the end of the year approaching, the Omilon strain has spread rapidly, and the epidemic prevention cannot be relaxed. On December 4, Shenzhen held a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and a meeting of the Municipal Leading Group (Headquarters) for the Prevention and Control of Covid-19 to study and deploy the prevention and control of the epidemic.
The meeting comprehensively arranged the prevention and control work, focusing on five aspects:
First, we must make every effort to build a strict external defense line against input, and strictly and tightly grasp the closed-loop management of the whole chain. Pay close attention to the "four directions" of aviation, land, and water transport ports and character defense, further improve the closed-loop management of the whole process, strictly implement the management measures for staff in high-risk positions such as ports, strengthen the standardized management of centralized isolation points and staff protection, strengthen the joint prevention and control of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and strengthen the prevention and control system of the whole chain from the national gate to the household door.
Second, we must make every effort to strengthen the prevention and control of cold chain logistics and resolutely cut off the channels of virus transmission. Give play to the role of the centralized supervision warehouse for imported frozen products, improve and improve the whole chain traceability system for imported cold chain food from the port to the sales link, increase the crackdown on the smuggling of frozen products, and strengthen the inspection and testing of express logistics.
Third, we must make every effort to promote the construction of an early monitoring and early warning system, and weave a well-woven normalized epidemic prevention and control network. Improve the multi-source monitoring and multi-point trigger epidemic early warning system, give play to the role of fever clinics, grass-roots medical institutions, pharmacies and other sentinel points, strictly classify and classify health management of personnel returning to Shenzhen in key areas of China, strengthen the supervision of key places such as public places, crowded places, and indoor places, and strengthen infection prevention and control work in medical institutions and nucleic acid testing points.
Fourth, we must make every effort to improve the prevention and control of the epidemic and the handling capacity, and strengthen the supervision and inspection of prevention and control measures. Always maintain the activation of the epidemic prevention and control command system, strengthen the construction of the team and actual combat drills, strengthen targeted research on vaccines and drugs, and improve the ability of flow tracing, gene sequencing, nucleic acid detection, centralized isolation, and medical treatment. Integrate the implementation of prevention and control measures into the daily supervision and law enforcement inspections of various districts and departments, consolidate the "four-party responsibility", and timely check and fill in the loopholes of the short board.
Fifth, we must make every effort to do a good job in prevention and control during the "two festivals" of The New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, and resolutely protect the people's life safety and physical health. Earnestly do a good job in the prevention and control of the movement of people, continue to promote the new crown vaccination, reduce the gathering of personnel, and strengthen the publicity and guidance of epidemic prevention knowledge.
Under the prevention and control strategy of "dynamic zero clearance", China has established a set of effective prevention and control measures, which can calmly respond to and extinguish local sporadic epidemics that are difficult to completely avoid. For cities, they still hope to keep "zero infection" for a longer time and avoid local transmission, which is undoubtedly "the greatest prevention and control effect at the smallest cost".
This requires the efforts of every department, every link, and every citizen. In the state of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, no one should take it lightly, should not have a fluke mentality, still need to be vigilant, starting from me, continue to adhere to the hygiene habits such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and maintaining social distancing, and jointly guard the hard-won prevention and control results.
