The time comes to the beginning of January, close to the Spring Festival, returning to the hometown for the New Year has gradually become the common expectation of the vast majority of people, especially rural people, who are looking forward to the Spring Festival holiday. This is because most rural laborers work outside the home all year round and rarely go home throughout the year, only once a year in the New Year.
But the recent spate of outbreaks in various places has affected some people's plans to go home. So far, there are 6 high-risk areas and 82 medium-risk areas in the country, involving Shaanxi, Henan, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Yunnan and other places. Affected by the first epidemic, some areas have strengthened control at highway intersections, persuaded vehicles and personnel from medium- and high-risk areas to return, and if they do not return, they will be subjected to 14 days of centralized isolation and observation.
In some rural areas, however, action seems to be more rapid. A few days ago, there were local confirmed cases in Yuzhou, Henan, and many villages near Yuzhou reappeared in one day the "closed villages and broken roads" during the Spring Festival in 2020. Local villagers said that in the morning, the road to the outside world in the village is still normal, and when they return to the village in the afternoon, they find that the road in and out of the village has been blocked by people digging a large mound with an excavator.
Not only were the main roads sealed, but other roads in and out of the village were also sealed. The village said that the road was closed because the local area is close to Yuzhou, and Yuzhou has been diagnosed, and there are already 2 high-risk areas in Yuzhou City, as well as many medium-risk areas. These medium- and high-risk areas include both urban areas in Yuzhou and rural areas. If the road is not closed, it is inevitable that some people will return to the village from medium- and high-risk areas, posing a risk of transmission.
The latest "closure of villages and broken roads" in January 2022 is not only found in Yuzhou, Henan, but also in some other rural areas, especially in rural areas near medium and high risk.
Just a few days ago, some returnees even encountered the situation of "welding welding doors". On January 4, at the home of a villager in Zhuangtou Town, Xingping City, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, village cadres welded the large iron door of the villager's home to death with electric welding. It turned out that the villager had returned to his hometown in Xianyang rural area from Yanta District in Xi'an some time ago, and should have been isolated at home for observation for 14 days, but during this period, he had gone out without permission and did not listen to advice, and finally the village cadres, in order to "scare" him, sent out electric welding and welded the large iron door of his home.
It is understood that the villager is also the nephew of the village cadre. After the matter was exposed, it caused heated discussion among netizens on the Internet, and the relevant local departments also dealt with it at the first time, not only restoring the normal opening and closing of the villager's large iron door, but also dealing with the village cadres.
The end of the year is approaching, there are only more than twenty days left before the Spring Festival, and as the Spring Festival approaches, more and more people will take the step of going home. However, the recent "closed villages and broken roads" and "welding doors" in rural areas have made it difficult for some people to return home smoothly.
In this regard, some experts said that although there is indeed an epidemic now, it is completely controllable. As soon as there is wind and grass in the countryside, it will immediately "seal the village and cut off the road", or even "welding welding doors", is it really necessary? The welding door has been stopped, and it is actually not necessary to "seal the village and cut off the road", as long as the management of personnel entering and leaving the village is strengthened, the same effect can be achieved without the need to close the village.
Experts pointed out that although there are advantages to simply and rudely "closing villages and cutting off roads", the drawbacks are also obvious. If there is an emergency in the village, such as a patient who needs emergency medical treatment, or a fire in the village, it is difficult for ambulances and fire trucks to arrive in time, which may lead to serious consequences.
Therefore, even in the first two years of the epidemic, the relevant state departments did not support the "closure of villages and broken roads" in rural areas, and now it is even more unnecessary, only need to strengthen management.
Do you think that it is necessary to "close the village and break the road" and "welding welding door" in some rural areas at present? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section and share your opinion.
