The epidemic in Zhejiang is intensifying.
Since the onset of cases in Ningbo on 5 December, a total of 138 positive cases of infection have been reported in Ningbo, Shaoxing and Hangzhou in just one week. Among them, in the last two days (10th and 11th), 35+13 and 38+9 were added respectively, and a total of 95 cases of positive infection were reported.

The large number of transmission chains, local sporadic and small-scale clusters are the prominent features of this round of domestic epidemics.

With the approaching of New Year's Day and Spring Festival, the flow of people has brought greater pressure to the prevention and control of the epidemic. Many provinces and cities have introduced corresponding epidemic prevention policies and advocated "local New Year". Zhoukou City, Henan Province, issued a notice that the return of the double festival needs to be reported 3 days in advance.
Zhejiang Province strictly guarded against death, and Shangyu completely locked down the city
There have been many small-scale clusters of the epidemic in Zhejiang, and the transmission relationship between cases mainly involves families and crowd gathering places.
The "medical community" combed and found that many people in Shangyu, Zhejiang Province, were infected due to attending the funeral, 7 of the positive infected people in Ningbo were associated with the Zhenhai "Sunshine Life" Moxibustion Care Center, Hangzhou Qianjiang International Times Square Company has 8 people infected, and 7 of the infected people in Hangzhou are card friends.
Shaoxing City, which has the largest number of confirmed cases, has become the focus of epidemic prevention and control in Zhejiang. Yuan Jiajun, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the first leader of the Zhejiang Provincial Leading Group for the Prevention and Control of the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic, pointed out on the 11th that the severe situation of epidemic prevention and control in Shangyu District of Shaoxing City is the key to the success or failure of the epidemic prevention and control battle in Zhejiang Province.

Since 13:00 yesterday, Shangyu District has implemented comprehensive sealing and control management, and strictly implemented the epidemic prevention and control requirements for the "three districts" of sealing and control areas, control areas and prevention areas. "Firmly manage the people in charge, let the quiet area quickly calm down, and curb the spread of the epidemic in the shortest possible time." Yuan Jiajun said.
Baiguan Street and Cao'e Street in Shangyu District are sealed and controlled, and personnel are strictly isolated at home and must stay at home; Dongguan Street, Lianghu Street, Xiaoyue Street, and Fenghui Town area are controlled and strictly prohibited from leaving the community and gathering people.
Due to the increase in the number of confirmed cases, Shaoxing Shangyu City urgently opened a designated hospital for the treatment of new crown pneumonia.

Xu Ji Observation, a Weibo big V in Hangzhou, said that although the pressure of epidemic prevention and control in Zhejiang Province is very large, it can soon be controlled under the "strong saturation" prevention and control measures.
Today, the Zhenhai District of Ningbo City launched the third round of nucleic acid sampling of all employees in the whole region, and 3,400 medical staff in Ningbo gathered late at night to pick up the lights and fight at night. A hospital in Ningbo Medical Center Li Huili Hospital alone sent 200 medical staff to support nucleic acid sampling in Zhenhai.

According to the Announcement on the Arrangement for Candidates Stranded in Medium- and High-Risk Areas to Participate in the National Master's Degree Admissions Examination issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Education Examination Institute on December 10, candidates who take the examination outside the province need to contact the provincial admissions examination agency where the test center is located before December 17. After obtaining consent, you can borrow the exam in Zhejiang.
The risk of transmission during the Spring Festival has increased, and many places have advocated the local New Year
On the 11th, Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health and Health Commission, pointed out at the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council that the Spring Festival of New Year's Day is coming, the risk of epidemic transmission is increasing, and more efforts need to be made in "scientific precision".
Is "scientific precision" equivalent to an in-place New Year?
In response to the multi-point sporadic epidemic in China, many places have issued notices advocating "local New Year" or non-essential non-essential non-departure during the double festival:
On December 12, the Office of the Zhoukou Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued a letter to people from Zhoukou. The letter said that in order to reduce the risk of the spread of the epidemic, it is insisted on not returning to the week without necessity; if the person outside the country really needs to return home, please report to the village (community) of the destination 3 days in advance, and inform the return time, transportation, physical health, travel history within 14 days, occupation and other information.
On December 8, Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, said that during the Spring Festival, all kinds of collective activities should adhere to the principle of "non-essential and not held", and try not to organize annual meetings, festivals and other personnel gathering activities. "Do not leave Shanghai unless necessary".
On December 9, the Zhangjiakou Economic Development Zone in Hebei Province issued a notice: Cadres and workers of party and government organs, public institutions and state-owned enterprises in the whole region should take the lead in setting an example and all should celebrate the New Year locally.
Sanxiang Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, encourages employees from other places to celebrate the New Year on the spot, forming a consensus of "not leaving Guangdong unless necessary".
Pingxiang City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that stores and shop personnel all advocate local New Year's Greetings and Online New Year visits to reduce the flow of personnel.
Some netizens sighed that since the outbreak of the epidemic, this is the third Spring Festival to be spent outside. The new crown epidemic may become the norm, can we still go home in the spring festival in the future?
On December 10, 2022, the 2022 Global Times Annual Conference "China's Economy: Will 2022 Create Surprises?" In the discussion of the topic, Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that all cases in China are directly or indirectly imported, and from now on, it is still necessary to strictly prevent and control, especially before the Winter Olympics.
Zhang Boli believes that with the blossoming of spring and the end of the Winter Olympics, from the perspective of the whole world, the epidemic will be calm, "the country may adopt some relatively loose policies or measures, and people may be more convenient in transportation, tourism and other aspects." Of course, it will not be completely let go. The specific situation will not be known until the end of next year. ”
