Mi Feng introduced that at present, many places in China have reported imported local epidemics, involving multiple ports and finding multiple transmission chains. As of 24:00 on November 5, the epidemic affected 20 provinces, superimposed on the factors of winter and spring seasons, and the situation of prevention and control was severe and complex.
How to further do a good job of external defense input? Responsible persons of relevant departments of the Ministry of Transport, the National Health Commission, the Immigration Bureau, the Civil Aviation Administration, and the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention responded at the press conference.
The outbreak was caused by a number of unrelated sources of imports from abroad
From October 17 to 24:00 on November 5, a total of 918 cases of infection have been reported nationwide, affecting 44 cities in 20 provinces, and Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission, pointed out that the results of virus gene sequencing and flow tracing show that the current round of epidemic is caused by a number of unrelated overseas import sources.
Wu Liangyou introduced: "At present, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces have had no new cases for more than 12 consecutive days, and the epidemic situation has been rapidly and effectively controlled in a relatively short period of time. Zhejiang and Jiangsu have sporadic cases in recent days, but there is no sign of community transmission; the prevention and control effects of Inner Mongolia, Beijing, Guizhou, Shandong and other provinces and regions are gradually emerging, and community transmission has been basically controlled; the low level of fluctuations in the epidemic in Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Yunnan Dehong and other places does not exclude the risk of community recurrence, but the risk of epidemic spillover is low; the epidemic situation in Heilongjiang, Hebei, Henan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Liaoning Dalian and other places is still developing, and it is necessary to pay close attention to the trend of the epidemic. In general, the epidemic has the characteristics of many transmission chains, fast transmission speed and wide transmission range, and the prevention and control situation of 'external prevention of import and internal prevention and rebound' is still severe and complex. ”
What is the purpose and role of children vaccinating against COVID-19?
What is the purpose and role of COVID-19 vaccination for 3-11 years old in some areas? Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, responded: "The infection rate in children is not low, and severe or fatal cases occur from time to time among children. Foreign studies have found that the current hospitalization rate of children is more than 10 times higher than that of the early part of this year. After children are infected with the virus, it is very difficult to manage as a source of infection. Children are in close contact with people in kindergartens, nurseries or schools and other institutions, and if there are cases, they can also cause clusters. We have always wanted herd immunity through vaccination, and to achieve herd immunity, children are also part of the population that needs immunity for diseases that are susceptible to all populations. ”
What are the clinical trial results or conclusions if children are to be vaccinated? Wang Huaqing responded: "The inactivated vaccine currently used in China has been seen in previous clinical trials, and it can produce a relatively high level of immunity. Regarding safety, through previous clinical trial studies, children are vaccinated with inactivated vaccines that have been approved so far, and the incidence of adverse reactions is not higher than that of adults. ”
How to ensure the stability and smoothness of the international logistics supply chain?
Zhou Min, deputy director of the Emergency Office of the Ministry of Transport, said that the global covid-19 epidemic situation is still severe and complex, and there are currently 39 highway ports and 129 water transport ports in China that have opened cross-border freight business. With the arrival of winter, all ports are facing the dual pressure of strict epidemic prevention and control and keeping the smooth flow of goods transportation. How to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control while effectively ensuring the stability and smoothness of the international logistics supply chain? Zhou Min responded that it is necessary to strengthen the remote prevention and control of key links and port transportation, strengthen the guarantee of port cargo transportation, especially to strengthen the epidemic prevention and control of high-risk post personnel.
Zhou Min said: "At present, about 25,000 high-risk post staff in various foreign trade ports involving 13 provinces have achieved centralized residence, closed management, and next-day testing. In addition, on the basis of the 'full response' of the vaccine for frontline workers at the previous port, we are actively promoting the prioritization of enhanced immunization for them. ”
How to "import foreign defense" at ports, airports, etc.?
At present, the epidemic situation abroad is still at a high level of epidemic, and the domestic epidemic situation is showing a rapid development trend, how to deal with this important line of defense against foreign imports such as ports and airports? Han Guangzu, director of the Flight Standards Department of the Civil Aviation Administration, said that civil aviation has further comprehensively and systematically strengthened the prevention and control work of the airport in all aspects mainly from the three aspects of civil air defense, material defense and environmental defense.
Han Guangzu said: "In terms of civil air defense, strengthen the prevention and control of personnel in key posts. For ground service support personnel, it is required that international and domestic work sites be separated, facilities and equipment separated, staff separated, and activity trajectories separated, and special work rest areas are provided for high-risk post personnel, and comprehensive and detailed requirements are also made for post protection requirements, work processes, and health monitoring. At the same time, the frequency of nucleic acid testing for ground personnel in entry support will be increased, and nucleic acid testing will be carried out every other day during the work period of high-risk personnel, and other personnel will carry out nucleic acid testing twice a week. ”
How to further crack down on illegal entry and exit activities?
How to further crack down on illegal entry and exit activities and prevent the risk of epidemic importation? Liu Haitao, director of the Department of Border Inspection and Management of the Immigration Bureau, said that since the beginning of this year, the national immigration management system has investigated and handled 14,973 criminal cases of crimes obstructing the management of national (border) borders, arrested 35,777 criminal suspects, and seized 36,921 smugglers.
Liu Haitao said: "In view of the new trend of cross-border illegal and criminal activities this winter and next spring, the National Immigration Administration will further deepen the special struggle against crimes that hinder the management of national (border) borders, and resolutely block the import and spread of the epidemic through illegal and criminal channels." Concentrate on pursuing and arresting important criminal suspects who are still at large for crimes that obstruct the management of national (border) borders, and resolutely pursue and bring to justice gang leaders, behind-the-scenes organizers, transporters, and backbone elements who are on the run, and severely punish them according to law. Strike hard and rectify the 'smuggling' of personnel in border areas. Concentrate on cracking down on illegal and criminal activities that damage border facilities. Strike hard and severely punish illegal acts such as deliberately destroying border facilities, secretly digging holes, opening passages indiscriminately, and privately building pontoon bridges on boundary rivers, and strictly prevent the damage and weakening of blocking facilities, forming a weak point for epidemic prevention and control. ”
