And do a good job of vaccination
A press conference was held
The current round of the epidemic consists of one
Caused by new foreign import sources
At the meeting, Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission, said in response to a reporter's question that according to the results of the existing flow adjustment and virus sequencing, the whole genome sequence of the virus of the case is low in homology with the previous epidemic in China, indicating that the epidemic is caused by a new source of overseas import. Overall, the current epidemic is in a stage of rapid development, the number of cases of non-tour groups has begun to increase, and it is expected that as the screening and screening of at-risk groups continues, the number of cases found in the next few days will continue to increase, and the scope of the epidemic may be further expanded.
This outbreak involves
13 tours or self-drive tours
The source of the epidemic is still in the circulation traceability, the transmission chain is generally relatively clear, of the 133 cases of infected people reported so far, 106 cases are related to the tour group transmission chain, involving 13 tour groups or self-driving tours.
The virus in this outbreak is the Delta variant
The epidemic is widespread and contagious. At present, the vast majority of cross-regional infected people found are related to tourist groups or self-driving tourists, and the cross-regional mobility of potential risk personnel is large, involving more provinces, and the risk of further spread of the epidemic is large. Wu Liangyou introduced that the virus in this outbreak is a Delta variant, and the respiratory tract samples in some cases have a high nucleic acid load, indicating that the case has a large amount of detoxification, strong transmission, and a high risk of sustained transmission in exposed populations.
Areas where outbreaks have occurred
Quickly enter a state of emergency
Mi Feng, spokesman for the National Health and Health Commission, said at a press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council on the 24th that areas where the epidemic occurs should quickly enter a state of emergency; in areas where the epidemic has not occurred, monitoring and early warning should be strengthened. It is necessary to strictly guard all gates of external prevention and importation, adhere to the same prevention of people and materials, reduce cross-regional gathering activities, and resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic. It is necessary to continue to promote vaccination work. Mi Feng said that all localities should adhere to the prevention and control strategy of "external prevention of import, internal prevention and rebound", and the existing prevention and control measures will not be relaxed. Strengthen regional linkage of emergency response, share flow and adjustment information, timely and accurately push risk personnel data, and cooperate in checking and controlling in place.
This winter and next spring, the new crown epidemic and influenza
Respiratory infectious diseases superimposed on epidemics
The risk remains
Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that since March, influenza activity in China's southern and northern provinces has been higher than the same period in 2020, and the level of influenza activity in southern provinces has shown a significant upward trend since September, and the risk of superimposed epidemics of new crown epidemics and respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza this winter and next spring still exists.
China Center for Disease Control and Prevention:
People over the age of 60
Booster immunization may also be performed
Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the vaccine research and development special class specially organized expert demonstration on strengthening immunization strategies. Based on the results of the previous intensive immunization study, considering the safety and protection efficiency of the vaccine and other factors, the enhanced immunization strategy of 3 inactivated vaccines and 1 adenovirus vector vaccine is proposed. The choice of booster immunization timing was based on the results of previous studies. The expert group recommends that after 6 months of completion of the immunization procedure, strengthen immunization of high-risk groups such as customs, border inspection, aviation, isolation point epidemic prevention, designated medical institutions and people who intend to work, study and communicate overseas; in addition, it is also recommended that people with immune deficiencies or low immunization and people over 60 years old can also be strengthened. At present, most areas have begun to strengthen the immunization of key populations in accordance with the needs of epidemic prevention and control, but whether it is necessary to strengthen immunization of other populations that have been vaccinated needs to be further studied and comprehensively judged according to the epidemic situation.
Vaccinations have been reported nationwide cumulatively
COVID-19 vaccine
2,244,727,000 doses
Mi Feng, spokesman for the National Health commission, said at a press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council on the 24th that as of October 23, the cumulative number of doses of the new crown virus vaccine reported nationwide was 2244.727 million doses, and the number of people who completed the whole process of vaccination was 1067.621 million.
National Nucleic Acid Testing Agency
Database indexed
More than 8500 detection points
On October 24, Mi Feng, spokesman for the National Health Commission, said at the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council that in response to the nucleic acid testing problems that the masses are concerned about, the National Health Commission has organized the formation of a national database of nucleic acid testing institutions, which has included more than 8,500 nucleic acid testing points across the country and continued to update. The general public can search and access the national government service platform, the client of the State Council, the WeChat public account of the health administrative department, etc. through WeChat, Alipay, Baidu and other channels, and inquire about the nearest nucleic acid testing point with one click. Some local health codes can also provide online appointment services. At the same time, the medical treatment team of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council also further requires all localities to take the districted city as the unit, in accordance with the principle of proximity and convenience, to coordinate testing resources to achieve full coverage of testing services in the region and within the grid; it is clear that testing institutions provide 24-hour services to shorten the time for reporting results.
China Center for Disease Control and Prevention: The interval between influenza vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine should be more than 14 days
