He Qinghua, a first-level inspector of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission, said that at present, the overall epidemic situation in the country has remained relatively stable, and some local clusters of epidemics caused by imported epidemics from abroad in local areas have been controlled or some are under control.
The epidemic in Longchuan, Yunnan Has Been No New Cases for 8 consecutive days, and the epidemic has been effectively controlled. Heilongjiang Harbin and Qiqihar have had no new cases for 4 consecutive days, and the epidemic situation has been basically controlled. The epidemic situation in Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia, has been basically controlled, and the epidemic has entered the final stage.
The new sporadic cases in Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places in Zhejiang in recent days are from centralized isolation points, the risk of the epidemic has been gradually controlled, Shaoxing, Zhejiang is still in the stage of sustainable development, the epidemic is mainly concentrated in the control area of sealing and control, and there is still a risk of subsequent transmission in the local area.
The gene sequencing of cases in Xi'an, Shaanxi and Dongguan, Guangdong, is highly homologous, and is the same chain of transmission from the same source of import from abroad, which should be tightly controlled, and the epidemic situation in the two places is still developing, and there is a possibility of further spread. The investigation of risk personnel and the control of key areas are being carried out intensively.
According to CCTV news, Shaanxi Province held a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic today (December 18), at which it was reported that at present, the source of the epidemic infection was initially determined to be imported from Pakistan on December 4, but the specific transmission process is not clear, there is a lack of clear correlation between the various transmission chains, and positive cases have been found in the nucleic acid test of all employees, indicating that there has been a certain community transmission, the follow-up epidemic is still in a stage of rapid development, and the risk of epidemic transmission is high.
Overall, the recent domestic epidemic situation is still characterized by the coexistence of local sporadic and large-scale clusters. Air ports and land ports are the main import routes, mainly caused by imported cases and related items and cold chain food outside the country. Recently, the comprehensive group of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council sent working groups to Guangdong and Shaanxi to guide local governments to carry out epidemic handling work.

What is "precision prevention and control of the whole chain" and how to achieve dynamic zeroing?
Interpretation by the National Health Commission

Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the National Health Commission's Leading Group for Epidemic Response and Handling, introduced that from August 2021, China began to enter the "dynamic zeroing" stage of accurate prevention and control of the whole chain. The "dynamic zeroing" stage of accurate prevention and control of the whole chain actually means that, under the premise of following the general strategy of prevention and control of "external prevention and import, internal prevention and rebound", when there are cases of local new crown pneumonia epidemic, effective comprehensive prevention and control measures are taken, found to extinguish together, quickly cut off the epidemic transmission chain, so that each epidemic is terminated in a timely manner, so that the infected people of this epidemic are "cleared" and achieve a prevention and control goal of achieving the greatest results at the minimum cost. It is a summary of China's experience in prevention and control, and it is also the best choice for the current epidemic prevention and control.
The meaning of accurate prevention and control of the whole chain can be understood from the three links and two factors of infectious disease prevention and control. Regarding the prevention and control of infectious sources, the first is to implement accurate remote prevention and control and closed-loop management after entry around "external prevention input". At the same time, the spread of goods is accurately prevented. The second is to strengthen monitoring, such as fever clinics to improve the sensitivity of monitoring. The third is to strengthen nucleic acid testing, such as for high-risk positions to effectively achieve "due diligence". The fourth is to strengthen the monitoring of virus mutations and timely discover the mutations. Read the original >>>
About the prevention and control of the epidemic on New Year's Day and Spring Festival
Should the Spring Festival be celebrated on the spot?
Joint Prevention and Control of the State Council: Adapting measures to local conditions It is necessary to avoid one-size-fits-all
On December 18, Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the National Health Commission's Leading Group for Epidemic Response and Handling, made relevant suggestions at the press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the initiative of "Celebrating the New Year in Place" issued by some places:
1. Classification:
(1) Key areas and key groups should strictly implement the current control policies, and cannot change prevention and control measures because of the Spring Festival.
(2) High-risk groups: such as the elderly, chronic disease patients, pregnant women, etc. should minimize unnecessary travel and gathering.
(3) If other personnel travel, try to do a good job of protection, and effectively fulfill their own health as the first responsible person.
2. Partitioning:
(1) Medium- and high-risk areas (such as border crossings, areas where major activities are carried out, etc.) may adopt stricter measures.
(2) Other regions should do a good job of risk assessment, comprehensively consider the risk level, individual immunity status, epidemic situation, etc. to put forward a strong and warm policy, can not be "one size fits all", reflecting the requirements of accurate prevention and control. Accurately balancing the relationship between epidemic prevention and control and the Spring Festival reunion is a test of the governance capabilities of governments at all levels, and risk assessment should be done well and the role of experts should be played. In particular, it should be pointed out that all localities should consider not only the risk of importing the epidemic, but also the risk of epidemic export. Relevant plans should be made.
(3) The public should be provided with clear reference guidelines for spring festival travel information. Read the original >>>
What prevention and control needs should people pay attention to when returning home and going out?
National Health Commission: Flag personnel in other counties and municipalities where medium- and high-risk areas are located do not travel unless necessary
He Qinghua, a first-level inspector of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission, said that the prevention and control of the epidemic during the "two festivals" this year must be highly valued, and there must be no slightest paralysis.
First, when individuals go out and return home, they should do a good job of personal protection, including wearing masks, washing hands frequently, not gathering, not gathering, 1 meter line, maintaining good hygiene habits and healthy lifestyles, actively vaccinating the new crown virus vaccine, and doing everything possible.
Second, personnel in medium- and high-risk areas and counties (cities, districts, banners) where they are located strictly restrict travel, and comply with local requirements such as epidemiological investigation, risk personnel screening, nucleic acid testing, health monitoring, and community prevention and control. Personnel performing specific official duties, ensuring production, life and transportation, etc. that really need to travel, upon approval by the local joint prevention and control mechanism, must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours, do a good job of personal protection during the journey, and implement the epidemic prevention and control regulations at the destination.
Third, personnel from other counties (cities, districts, banners) in the city where the medium- and high-risk areas are located do not need to travel, and those who really need to travel must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours.
The fourth is to strictly restrict travel to medium- and high-risk areas and the county (city, district, flag), and not to go to other counties (cities, districts, flags) of the city where the medium- and high-risk areas are located.
Fifth, those with fever, dry cough and other symptoms, health code "yellow code" and other personnel should perform personal protection responsibilities and not travel until the risk of infection is excluded. Read the original >>>
Will the travel of employees in high-risk positions during the "two festivals" period be restricted?
National Health Commission: Travel should be avoided as much as possible
He Qinghua, a first-level inspector of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission, said at a press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council that personnel in high-risk positions have more opportunities to be exposed to possible infected personnel, possible virus-contaminated items and the environment during work, and if the protection is not in place, the risk of infection is higher.
During the "two festivals", personnel in high-risk positions should avoid travel as much as possible, and those who really need to travel must meet the requirements of leaving the job for more than 14 days, holding a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours, and reporting to the unit where they are located. During the journey, do a good job of personal protection, understand and comply with the epidemic prevention and control regulations of the destination in advance. High-risk post staff tasks are heavy, pressure, relevant industries and units should pay attention to their care and care, timely help to solve their work and life of practical difficulties.
