On January 18, a 32-year-old cleaning staff member of the Shenzhen International crew was confirmed to have a new crown, which was routinely detected by staff in high-risk positions in closed-loop management. According to the incomplete statistics reported by the health times reporter, the staff of the hotel isolated by overseas personnel have been infected, and there have been more than 6 cases.
The isolation hotel is the first gate for external defense input. Yu Chuanhua, a professor of epidemiological and health statistics at Wuhan University, told the Health Times that cleaning staff and food delivery personnel are close contacts of new crown patients, and once paralyzed or neglected, they may be infected by the new crown virus. In particular, the recent Aomi Kerong and Delta mutation strains are extremely contagious, so these personnel must strengthen strict prevention and control management in accordance with regulations.

Experts: Further strengthen the training and management of COVID-19 prevention and control
As of 00:00 on January 19, there were 1,275 confirmed cases imported from overseas. Judging from the data, there are new cases imported from abroad every day.
"These cleaning staff and food delivery personnel are close contacts of NEW CROWN patients or imported people from abroad, and the risk of infection is high." Yu Chuanhua believes that they must earnestly implement closed-loop management and cannot shuttle through the general population at will, otherwise it will cause the risk of disease spread.
Yu Chuanhua suggested that the training and management of the awareness of COVID-19 prevention and control for these personnel should be further strengthened. They need to really follow the process for personal protection. For these high-risk people, a certain period of time should be separated, and the supplementary vaccination should be supplemented according to the situation.
