The golden poplar leaves have not yet completely faded, and the small town of Ejina in late autumn is quieter than ever due to the sudden outbreak of the new crown epidemic.
On October 18, five local people tested positive for nucleic acid, and since then, the small border town of Ejina has had to press the pause button.
Located at the westernmost tip of China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Ejin Banner, with a total population of 35,800, is 653 kilometers from the seat of the Alxa League, 1,062 kilometers from Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, and 1,549 kilometers from the capital Beijing.
Witness the fight against the epidemic
Wei Jingming, a 53-year-old driver at the local poplar forest scenic spot, said that tourists who come here every October to see the poplar forest, strange forest, Alxa Black City and other tourist attractions are loved by tourists. Unfortunately, due to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, nearly 10,000 tourists have to stay here.
In the past few days, Wei Jingming has witnessed the performance of this small city after the epidemic, "After the outbreak, the local government departments controlled the highways and communities in a timely manner for the first time to cut off the source of infection; large-scale nucleic acid testing was fully launched, so that everyone's mood was getting better and better every day." ”
"Our scenic spot is about 10 kilometers away from Ejin, and the third time we did the nucleic acid test, it was done by the government departments themselves, and we knew that the government had fewer people, so we were very moved." Wei Jingming told reporters.
According to official sources, in response to some stranded tourists who do not understand the nucleic acid detection sampling points and have a long queue time, the flag has increased the number of sampling points from the original 12 to 41 in the third round of full nucleic acid testing, and set up 4 fixed sampling points and 37 mobile sampling points according to the control area and the sealing and control area.
According to the distribution of personnel at each sampling point, medical personnel, community volunteers and Baolian cadres are equipped to ensure the order of nucleic acid testing sites, and the location of sampling points is announced through the "China Ejina" and "Healthy Ejina" WeChat public platforms, and the nucleic acid test report results are announced in a timely manner on the "Healthy Alxa" platform.
Small town warmth
On October 21, Ejina officially released a letter to the majority of tourists and friends stranded in Ejinna, which stated that 3 core scenic spots such as poplar forest tourism area (5A) will be given to stranded tourists, and from 2021, they can be visited free of charge for three years.
Shortly after the letter was released, netizens left a message saying: "The warmth of the small city is not an empty word. ”
Tutu, who was stranded in the local area, told reporters: "Since the 22nd, the local government department has provided a free meal, disposable medical masks, a piece of instant noodles plus ham sausage and mineral water for stranded tourists every day, which makes our hearts very warm. ”
On October 22, Ejina officials issued a supplementary announcement again. The supplementary announcement mentioned that since October 22, for tourists stranded in hotels and guesthouses, each hotel and guesthouse shall not maliciously increase the price, the price shall not exceed 200 yuan per room, and actively cooperate with tourists to carry out normal daily necessities purchase services.
On social media, a woman surnamed Wang presented the situation of a family stranded in Ejina through a short video, in which she encouraged the tourists who were also stranded here: "If you are in Alxa at this time, may you be as strong as a poplar and actively respond to the epidemic." The short video attracted more than 200,000 views within hours of its release.
The delivery of love
If one party has difficulties, the eight parties support it. Under the epidemic, there is a transmission of love here.
Official sources show that as of the morning of October 22, Ejina has stored more than 4,000 tons of daily necessities in 14 categories, of which rice, noodles, oil, meat and other daily necessities can be supplied for about 10 days, and short-term storage items such as vegetables and fruits can be supplied for about 3 days.
It is worth mentioning that at present, the road, railway, and air cargo transportation to Ejina is smooth, and the aid materials from Ordos, Bayannaoer and other places in Inner Mongolia are arriving one after another. For the 541 stranded Anhui tourists on the Northwest Tour of Anhui Happiness, the daily medication demands of some elderly people are being solved through various channels.
On the 24th, Wang Zhenheng, a police officer of the Alxa Border Management Detachment, said in an interview with reporters: "In the past few days, when resting on duty, I took out my mobile phone to see the self-report videos taken by many stranded tourists, saw the government's protection for them, and the spirit of Ejina's fight against the epidemic, which made me feel that this is a warm city. ”
Wang Zhenheng said that in the past 7 days of day and night, the people here, including stranded tourists, have completed many nucleic acid samples, the number of thank-you of tourists is increasing, and the government's safeguard measures are getting better and better, "I and all the anti-epidemic workers around me who have invested in the frontline are also getting more and more energetic." ”
Wang Zhenheng said that in the past few days, the sky in Ejina has become bluer and bluer, "I believe that under the guidance of the will of three thousand years of poplar, this ruthless epidemic will eventually win." (End)
