The Spring Festival holiday is over in the blink of an eye, during the Spring Festival to visit relatives and friends is the mainland tradition, with the increase in the mobility of personnel, we are worried about the things before the festival or happened: on the first day of the New Year, Guangxi Baise City was rushed to the hot search because of the epidemic.
In just 2 days, Bose has found that 98 people have been positive for nucleic acid initial screening, and another 87 people have yet to be reviewed, as of 11 o'clock on February 8, Bose has confirmed a total of 110 cases, resulting in the Baise Municipal Government had to make a lockdown measure of taking all staff home isolation and observation from 00:00 on February 7.
Before that, Guangxi is also regarded as a national anti-epidemic student, although it is located on the border, adjacent to Vietnam, the pressure of epidemic prevention and control is also very large, but there has been no large-scale population infection, why did it break the defense this time? Will this wave of epidemics in Guangxi spread? Let's listen to the experts.
Why did Guangxi Baise break through the defense?
As the Spring Festival approaches, whether or not you can return to your hometown for the festival has become the most concerned issue for migrant workers in a foreign land, and Guangxi has a large number of migrant workers in Guangdong Province because it is adjacent to guangdong, our economically strong province. Guangxi's previous epidemic prevention and control policy is also notoriously strict, as long as it comes from the domestic medium and high-risk areas, must hold a 48-hour nucleic acid certificate, and isolate for observation for 7-14 days, because the Spring Festival holiday is only 7 days, such a policy is undoubtedly poured out of the majority of people from the domestic medium and high-risk areas of Guangxi people to return to their hometowns, so Guangxi's epidemic prevention policy has also been ridiculed by netizens as "Gui Yi Knife".
Under the pressure of huge public opinion, Guangxi adjusted the epidemic prevention and control policy before the Spring Festival, which greatly increased the number of Guangxi people returning to their hometowns, but this itself is actually excusable. According to media reports, at this time node, there may be loopholes in the grid management of epidemic prevention and control in Baise City, according to public information and the investigation of the whereabouts of the source of infection, from January 27 to February 3 for nearly 10 days, the patient did not conduct nucleic acid testing, and there was no relevant personnel to monitor it, resulting in the patient's activity trajectory involving many places, contact with a wide range of people, by February 4, after his nucleic acid test results were positive, everything was too late.
As early as January 31, Shiyan Street in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City, reported a confirmed case of new crown pneumonia, and the Luo Rent Community in Shiyan Street, Bao'an District was adjusted to a medium-risk area. On February 1, in the investigation of Bao'an District of Shenzhen City, 3 confirmed cases were added, and in the investigation of the activity trajectory of the 4 confirmed cases, it was found that the activity trajectory of the first confirmed case of Bose confirmed cases overlapped with it.
On January 18, Guangxi issued a notice related to epidemic prevention and control during the Spring Festival in order to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic caused by the gathering of returnees and the gathering of the Spring Festival. Among them, there is a clear provision that for those returning to Guizhou from medium- and high-risk areas, those who return to Guizhou for less than 7 days should implement 7 days of centralized isolation medical observation plus 3 nucleic acid tests, and after the end of centralized isolation, 7 days of home monitoring + 2 nucleic acid tests should be carried out. However, Baise did not isolate the returnees as required until february 4, when the nucleic acid test was positive. On the eve of nucleic acid testing, Xu Moumou, who returned to his hometown from medium- and high-risk areas, appeared in many densely populated places, such as service areas and hotels along the way back to his hometown, local commercial centers after returning to Guizhou, and participated in gathering activities such as family and friends dinners, without effective prevention and control, resulting in the spread of the epidemic.
Will this wave of epidemics in Guangxi spread?
No! Because the Baise Municipal Government adopted the most severe prevention and control policy for the first time - the lockdown. Although with the development of large-scale nucleic acid testing, there may be more confirmed cases in the future, but first of all, most of these confirmed cases are limited to Baise City, and occasionally there may be fish that slip through the net, such as Nanning found a case of asymptomatic infection from Bose, Guangzhou also appeared a case, but this is a very rare case, and the circulation and traceability of individuals is still relatively simple. Past experience tells us that although the lockdown has hit the economy hard, it is undoubtedly the most effective measure to deal with the outbreak of the epidemic scale, and I believe that the epidemic in Bose will soon pass.
At present, Guangxi has gathered all the strength of Guangxi to fully support Bose's nucleic acid testing, material support and epidemic treatment work, and all parts of Guangxi have also adjusted the epidemic prevention and control policies accordingly, so the possibility of the spread of the epidemic in Bose is really unlikely.
How to prevent and control the epidemic?
For the prevention of the new coronavirus, what we can do at present is mainly through the following two ways:
1. Vaccination: Vaccination can prevent infection and reduce the incidence and severity of disease. At present, there are two main vaccines approved for marketing in mainland China, the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine and the recombinant new coronavirus vaccine.
2. Maintain hygiene, balanced nutrition, proper exercise, adequate rest, and improve autoimmunity. At the same time, wash your hands frequently, ventilate frequently, wear masks when going out, maintain social distancing, avoid unnecessary gatherings, and use public chopsticks when eating. When respiratory symptoms appear, go to the fever clinic in time. For those who have recently been to medium- and high-risk areas, or have a history of contact with confirmed or suspected cases, they should take the initiative to conduct nucleic acid testing for the new crown virus.
Since there is no specific drug for the new crown virus at present, we must be prepared for a long-term battle with it, and we must also firmly believe that we can overcome all difficulties and obstacles and eventually usher in the tomorrow when the epidemic disappears.
