National Health Commission: China's prevention and control measures are still effective for Aomi Kerong

Per reporter: Li Biao Intern reporter Cai Zhichao Chen Xing

On December 20, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the scientific and accurate prevention and control of the epidemic.

The "Daily Economic News" reporter learned from the scene of the press conference that Mi Feng, spokesman of the National Health Commission, introduced that at present, 89 countries and regions around the world have reported the Aomi Kerong mutation, and the epidemic situation in some neighboring countries in China has developed rapidly, and the pressure on foreign defense imports has continued to increase.

Lei Zhenglong, deputy director of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission and a first-level inspector, said that the current national epidemic situation is generally stable. The associated epidemic in Manzhouli has been basically controlled. The development of the epidemic situation in Shaoxing has slowed down, and the risk of epidemic spillover has decreased. The epidemic situation in Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places has been basically controlled.

Strengthen the prevention and control of remote road passenger transport

New Year's Day and Spring Festival are approaching, what measures has the transportation department taken to prevent and control the epidemic?

Zhou Min, deputy director of the Emergency Office of the Ministry of Transport, said that the transportation department will strictly implement the overall requirements of "external prevention of import, internal prevention of rebound, and prevention of characters", and further do a good job in the prevention and control of the transportation epidemic during the festival.

The first is to further strengthen the deployment arrangements for key periods. On December 14, the Ministry of Transport issued the Notice on Coordinating the Prevention and Control of the Epidemic and the Guarantee of Transport Services during the Spring Festival of New Year's Day in 2022 and the Winter Paralympic Games of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, requiring all localities to comprehensively study and judge the characteristics of passenger flow, refine the transport organization plan, strengthen the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures, and make every effort to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control and transport service guarantees during key periods. "We are also formulating the "Overall Work Plan for the Prevention and Control of the Epidemic and Transport Service Guarantee for the Spring Festival of Comprehensive Transportation in 2022" to further refine the key points of the classified response to the prevention and control of the epidemic in the Spring Festival."

The second is to further strengthen the prevention and control of remote road passenger transport. In terms of prevention and control of entering Beijing, for those who have a history of travel in counties (districts, cities) and counties (districts and cities) where the land border crossing is located within 14 days, they will not provide road passenger transport services into Beijing in accordance with relevant regulations; at the same time, remote prevention and control will be strengthened, and road passenger transport and passenger station operators will be urged to strictly check the negative nucleic acid test certificate and the "Beijing Health Treasure" green code for personnel entering Beijing within 48 hours. In terms of border port prevention and control, for personnel leaving the city of land border ports, road passenger transport and passenger station operators are required to strictly check the negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours.

The last is to further strengthen the transportation guarantee of key civilian biological resources. In order to ensure that the people spend a peaceful, safe and comfortable New Year's Day and Spring Festival, the transportation department guides all localities to strengthen emergency transport capacity reserves and improve emergency transport guarantee plans. At the same time, we will guide the epidemic-related areas to do a good job in ensuring the transportation of emergency materials and civilian biological resources.

Strengthen the prevention and control of the Omi kerong variant strain

Lei Zhenglong said that 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 "character defense" and strengthen the import of foreign 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.

Then there is the strengthening of 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 last is to strengthen the emergency response to 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.

Lei Zhenglong introduced that the existing infection prevention and control measures in medical institutions in China are still effective for the Aomi Kerong variant, and in the prevention and control of infection in medical institutions, it is still necessary to adhere to the implementation of existing prevention and control measures. It is necessary to further improve the epidemic prevention and control plan and process of this institution, implement the pre-examination triage and the responsibility system for the first diagnosis, carry out closed-loop management and nucleic acid testing for fever patients, and enhance the awareness and ability of "early detection".
