Latest Voice! Zhang Wenhong: Be prepared to deal with the 10-fold increase in the epidemic

Zhang Wenhong, a deputy to the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress and director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital, pointed out in his written proposal to the two sessions of the Shanghai Two Sessions this year that the global fight against the epidemic has become tired and lax, and China will face greater risks, and it should take precautions to make systematic anti-epidemic preparations.

He suggested that Shanghai should make a plan for "the scale of the epidemic 5 times or 10 times larger", including: actual combat exercises, strengthening the construction of the rescue and treatment system, accelerating the construction of anti-epidemic science and technology platforms, etc., and at the same time should be prepared for the training and grading diagnosis and treatment of more grass-roots medical institutions.

According to the Hong Kong Wenhui Network, Zhang Wenhong pointed out that Omicron is sweeping the world at an unprecedented speed, and the recent outbreaks in many parts of China have an unclear source, proving that most of the Omicron is asymptomatic when it is introduced, and many infected people are difficult to detect in the early stage.

Omicron's covert transmission may still induce a wide range of transmission, which will bring about medical runs and secondary disasters, so the epidemic prevention thinking can not be relaxed at all, but also continue to prepare for accurate prevention and control in the new stage.

Zhang Wenhong believes that at present, due to the global new crown epidemic has entered a new stage, on the one hand, the number of cases has "blowout", on the other hand, due to the rise in vaccination rate and natural infection rate and the characteristics of the evolution of the virus itself, the severity of the disease has weakened earlier, which has directly led to the global trend of fatigue and laxity in anti-epidemic measures.

"This also means that we are about to face a strong imported epidemic and a huge risk of local case transmission.", Zhang Wenhong said.

In response to the threat of a new wave of the epidemic, Zhang Wenhong suggested that Shanghai further strengthen the drill and make a good plan for how to deal with the situation that exceeds the current epidemic scale by 5 or 10 times, including: isolation housing, epidemic investigation and tracking, nucleic acid screening, expanding the material security of the isolation area, etc. All district governments must have specific plans, and even drills.

Zhang Wenhong said that when the imported epidemic was serious in Shanghai, the number of daily COVID-19 patients was close to 500. At present, the imported epidemic in Shanghai has reached its highest peak since the fight against the epidemic, and it is necessary to prepare for more imported epidemics, and even the superposition of imported epidemics with the local epidemic, including the promotion of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment training and material preparation to more grass-roots medical institutions.
