Zhang Ying: Tianjin launched the second round of nucleic acid screening for all employees because there are still risks of infected people in the community

On the 12th, at the 166th press conference on the prevention and control of the epidemic in Tianjin, Zhang Ying, deputy director of the Tianjin Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that Tianjin launched the second round of nucleic acid screening for all employees because there are still risks of infected people in the community.

Zhang Ying said that at present, from the perspective of the overall epidemic incidence curve, it is mainly concentrated on January 8, 9 and 10, which has the highest incidence in these three days and forms a platform period. A peak has been formed in the early stage of discovery, and at the same time, such a platform period has appeared, which is rare, which shows that the relevant screening and control measures taken by Tianjin are very early and very fast.

As of 12:00 on January 11, a total of 97 cases of local positive infection were reported in Tianjin.

There are suddenly so many cases in the three days of the 8th, 9th and 10th, will there be more cases in the future? In this regard, Zhang Ying clearly stated that the cases of these three days should be the consumption of previously exposed cases. Because of the early detection and rapid control, although the subsequent outbreak will spread in the community, it will not cause large-scale, large-scale or concentrated cases.

"As long as various measures such as control and sealing are in place, the trend of follow-up epidemic development is still controllable," Zhang Ying said at the same time, with the continuous development of the epidemic, the cases found in the chain of transmission points in the early stage can be connected in series, but recently more than a dozen cases have been found to be in tandem, which shows that due to the fast action, we have screened out some infected cases that have not yet developed downwards, and the "upper home" of the infected people has not been found, and the infected people exist in the community. "The risk of the spread of the epidemic in the community still exists, which is why Tianjin is launching a second round of nucleic acid screening for all employees."

The second round of nucleic acid screening for all employees in Tianjin has begun at 12:00 on January 12, and as of 16:00, a total of 2235327 people have been sampled, and the relevant testing work is underway. (Reporters Zhou Runjian and Zhang Jianxin)
