(Fight against new crown pneumonia) and the "virus catcher" who is racing against time: facing the virus and accurately tracing
Ningbo, December 16 (Li Dian, Xu Jie, Liu Anping) In the face of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, if medical treatment is to deal with "stock", then disease control is to control the "increment".
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Zhenhai, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, there has been such a group of "virus catchers" who are racing against time, who have carried out epidemiological investigations, isolation and tracking, sampling and sample delivery, and killing at epidemic points, and have become the "gatekeepers" of people's life safety and health.
On the evening of December 5, the first case of positive nucleic acid infection of the new crown virus in Zhenhai District was confirmed, sounding the battle alarm of the epidemic prevention and control war in Zhenhai. Subsequently, more than 100 people were "online" to find "disappeared memories" together.
"Hello, this is the CDC, please ask you recently..." In the telephone flow, the flow personnel recorded the relevant information and itinerary of each streaming object in detail, in addition, they also had to patiently answer various questions from the other side of the phone to calm the anxiety caused by the epidemic.
As the head of the Disease Prevention and Control Department of the Zhenhai District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Yan Kedong has been fighting on the front line of the epidemic since December 5, investigating the epidemic, writing epidemic analysis, and studying technical solutions to provide a scientific basis for decision-making.
As the scope of circulation becomes larger and larger, the personnel structure becomes more and more complex, and the difficulty of epidemiological investigation becomes higher and higher, the circulation work is often carried out until the early morning. "It is the unshirkable responsibility of our disease controllers to find out the trajectory of the activities of each confirmed case, trace the source of infection, and provide accurate and detailed first-hand information for epidemic prevention and control." Yan Kedong said.

"We deal with viruses every day." Chen Zhuan, a sampler from the Zhenhai District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, is responsible for the collection of samples from confirmed cases and close contacts. During the epidemic, she has always been on the front line of prevention and control.
In Chen Zhuan's own words, during this time, she was either collecting samples or on the way to collect samples. Because of wearing protective clothing, the collection work for four or five hours in a row does not stop, and it is more normal to be hungry and hold urine.
Late at night, the laboratory of the Zhenhai District CDC was brightly lit, and a steady stream of specimens was sent in. Cai Xi, head of the inspection section of the Zhenhai District CDC, who is "fully armed", as one of the testing personnel, began to test for the new crown pneumonia virus, "Our job is to pull out the virus at the first time and issue an 'identity card' to the virus." ”
COVID-19 testing is extremely risky and needs to be carried out in a PCR laboratory, and testers are required to take biosafety level 3 personal protection. Because of the huge number of tests, it takes about half an hour to put on and take off protective equipment, so during the test, the test personnel cannot drink water, go to the toilet, and cannot leave the laboratory. Wearing airtight protective clothing, Cai Xi and her colleagues had to work in this state for 4 to 5 hours continuously.
In the prevention and control work, there are also a number of "masked heroes". Putting on protective clothing, masks and goggles, it is completely unclear who is who. Corridors, streets, patients' homes, places where confirmed patients and close contacts have passed and where they have been in contact, they are everywhere carrying out disinfection work. Zeng Fanfu, who is in charge of the disinfection work, said, "Going to the home of a confirmed patient to disinfect is a face-to-face 'battle' with the virus." ”
Under the epidemic, the warriors who face the virus are still shining in different positions on the front line of the "epidemic", only for the city behind them and the well-being of thousands of families in the city. (End)
