On December 20, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference to introduce the scientific and accurate epidemic prevention and control of the situation, the Deputy Director of the National Health Commission Disease Control Bureau, a first-level inspector Lei Zhenglong said at the meeting that the existing infection prevention and control measures in China's medical institutions are still effective for the Aomi Kerong variant, and in the infection prevention and control work in medical institutions, it is still necessary to adhere to the implementation of existing prevention and control measures.
Lei Zhenglong pointed out that recently many countries and regions around the world have found cases of Infection of the Aomi Kerong variant, Andi Kerong variants have been reported in Tianjin, Guangzhou, Changsha and other places in China, and local cases caused by the import of the Aomi Kerong variants have been reported in some regions, which prompts us to not relax our prevention of the Aomi Kerong variant. In the near future, the National Health Commission will focus on deploying and strengthening the prevention and control of the Aomi Kerong variant from the following aspects.

The first is to adhere to the principle of "the same defense of characters" and strengthen the import of external defense at ports. Implement the deployment of the joint prevention and control mechanism "Notice on Strengthening the Prevention and Control of the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic in Port Cities", and strictly implement the closed-loop management of the whole process of entry personnel. For personnel in high-risk positions at ports, implement prevention and control requirements such as standardized protection, closed-loop management, and high-frequency nucleic acid testing. Increase the proportion of high-risk countries entering the country for sampling, and do a good job of preventive disinfection of the surface of goods.
The second is to strengthen the management of centralized isolation sites and strictly prevent cross-infection. Strictly implement prevention and control requirements such as standardized protection and closed-loop management for staff in centralized isolation sites. Implement measures such as quarantined personnel not going out, staggering peaks to take meals, and avoiding conversations to prevent cross-infection. Strengthen ventilation and disinfection measures in public areas of isolation points and carry out terminal disinfection of contaminated areas. Strict standards for the lifting of quarantined personnel, and only those who meet the negativeness of three samples of people, objects and environment can be lifted from isolation. For those who are found to be positive for nucleic acid tests in centralized isolation places, it is necessary to immediately trace back the flow adjustment, recalculate and extend the isolation time for risky personnel.
The third is to strengthen monitoring and early warning. Pay close attention to the epidemic trend of the global and China's neighboring countries of the Aomi Kerong variant strain, strengthen the monitoring of new variant strains, carry out viral gene sequence determination for all eligible imported cases, imported goods and related environmental positive samples, such as sequencing results for new variant strains such as Aomi Kerong, immediately report to the local joint prevention and control mechanism, organize experts to study and judge the risk of epidemic transmission, strengthen targeted prevention and control measures, and resolutely and resolutely carry out epidemic disposal.
The fourth is to strengthen emergency handling of the epidemic. Immediately after the outbreak of the epidemic, the emergency command system was activated. Complete the investigation of the core epidemiological information as soon as possible, accurately delineate and control the relevant risk groups and areas, and timely trace and determine the close contacts and close contacts and close contacts and transfer them to centralized isolation sites. More emphasis is placed on the implementation of the "four early" measures to control the spread and spread of the epidemic.
Lei Zhenglong stressed that it is necessary to further improve the epidemic prevention and control plan and process of this institution, implement the pre-examination triage and the first diagnosis responsibility system, carry out closed-loop management and nucleic acid testing for fever patients, and enhance the awareness and ability of "early detection". All personnel in medical institutions should implement standard preventive measures, and new inpatients, escorts and staff of the institution should undergo nucleic acid testing. Formulate emergency plans and implement emergency drills in different situations to ensure that once the new crown infection is found, it can be dealt with accurately, quickly and effectively.
