On December 7, the Comprehensive Group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for Responding to the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic issued the "Notice on Further Optimizing and Implementing the Prevention and Control Measures for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic." What changes are there? Let’s take a look at it together -
01. Risk area division
High-risk area is designated according to buildings, units, floors, and residents, and it shall not be expanded to areas such as communities, communities, streets (towns) at will.
shall not adopt any form of temporary blocking.
cannot be managed "silently".
implements the "quick seal and quick solution" in the high-risk area. High-risk areas where no new infections have been reported for five consecutive days should be unblocked in a timely manner.
Supplementary Note: During the epidemic response process, close contacts should be quickly controlled, and high-risk areas may not be designated in the absence of community transmission risk.
02. nucleic acid testing
does not carry out nucleic acid testing for all members according to administrative regions, further narrowing the scope of nucleic acid testing and reducing the frequency.
nucleic acid tests for high-risk positions and high-risk areas in accordance with relevant regulations, and other personnel are willing to be tested.
Except for special places such as nursing homes, welfare homes, medical institutions, childcare institutions, primary and secondary schools, negative nucleic acid test certificates and health codes are not required.
Important agencies, large enterprises and some specific places can determine prevention and control measures by their own jurisdiction.
will no longer check the negative nucleic acid test certificate and health code for cross-regional mobile personnel, and will no longer conduct on-site inspections.
★ Supplementary Note:
Q: Which employees are high-risk positions and people in high-risk areas?
A: The "Notice on Further Optimizing and Implementing the Prevention and Control Measures for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic" Interpretation Q&A clearly states that nucleic acid testing is carried out for people who are in direct contact with incoming personnel, items, and the environment, staff in centralized isolation facilities, medical staff in designated medical institutions for , and fever clinics of ordinary medical institutions, as well as high-risk positions with dense personnel, frequent contact with people and strong mobility in business environments such as shopping malls, supermarkets, express delivery, and takeout.
Q: Are there any nucleic acid requirements for medical treatment?
A: The "Notice on Further Optimizing and Implementing the Prevention and Control Measures for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic" Interpretation Q&A clearly states that the number of people who visit medical institutions is complex, the flow of people is large, and the space is closed. Once the source of infection is introduced, it is easy to cause the spread of the epidemic and in-hospital infections, affecting the normal operation of medical institutions and the normal medical treatment of the people. Therefore, when entering a medical institution for treatment, you must provide a negative nucleic acid test certificate. However, medical institutions shall not shirk responsibility or refuse to treat critically ill patients with no negative nucleic acid test certificate.
03. Isolation
Asymptomatic infected people with home isolation conditions and mild cases generally undergo home isolation, and they can also voluntarily choose to be centralized for treatment.
Strengthen health monitoring during home isolation, isolation will be carried out twice in nucleic acid tests on the 6th and 7th days of isolation Ct value ≥35, and if the condition worsens, transfer to designated hospitals for treatment in time.
Close contacts who have the conditions for home isolation shall be subject to 5 days of home isolation, or voluntarily choose to centralized isolation, and the quarantine shall be released after the nucleic acid test is negative on the 5th day.
★ Supplementary Note:
"Notice on Further Optimizing the Implementation of the Prevention and Control Measures for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic" Interpretation Q&A clearly states that the pathogenicity of the Omickron mutant strain has been significantly weakened. After clinical observation, most of the infection are asymptomatic infections and mild cases without special treatment.
04. Purchase medicine
Pharmacies in various places must operate normally and must not be closed at will.
shall not restrict the public from purchasing over-the-counter drugs such as fever-relieving, cough-relieving, antiviral, and cold-treating.
In addition, the "Notice on Further Optimizing and Implementing the Prevention and Control Measures for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic" clearly states: Make good supply and reserves of conventional drugs, especially related drugs for patients with basic diseases.
05. Vaccination for the elderly
All localities should adhere to the principle of receiving all the recipients, focus on increasing the vaccination rate of people aged 60-79, and accelerate the increase in the vaccination rate of people aged 80 and above, and make special arrangements.
optimizes vaccination services through the establishment of green channels for the elderly, temporary vaccination sites, mobile vaccination vehicles and other measures .
should carry out training on the determination of vaccination taboos step by step, and guide medical personnel to scientifically determine vaccination taboos.
Refine science popularization and mobilize the whole society to participate in mobilizing the elderly to vaccinate. Local governments can take incentive measures to mobilize the enthusiasm of the elderly to get vaccinated.
plays the role of "net bottom" of primary medical and health institutions and "gatekeepers" of family doctor health, find out the vaccination status of the elderly and the new coronavirus in the jurisdiction who suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , COPD pulmonary , diabetes , chronic kidney disease , tumors, immune function defects and other diseases, and promote the implementation of grading and classified management.
★ Supplementary Notes
Q: How are the arrangements for accelerating vaccination for the elderly?
A: Take measures such as setting up green channels for the elderly, temporary vaccination sites, and mobile vaccination vehicles to provide door-to-door vaccination services for disabled and semi-disabled elderly people, optimize various convenient measures, open up the "last 100 meters" of vaccination for the elderly, and provide convenience for the elderly to the greatest extent.
06. Social Operation
Non-high-risk areas shall not restrict the flow of people, and shall not suspend work, production or business.
includes medical personnel, public security, transportation and logistics, supermarkets, supply guarantee, water, electricity, gas and heating, and other personnel to ensure basic medical services and normal social operation in the "whitelist" management.
07. Medical
is strictly prohibited from blocking fire passages, unit doors, and community doors in various ways to ensure that the public can go out with medical treatment, emergency risk avoidance and other channels.
promotes the establishment of a docking mechanism between the community and specialized medical institutions, and provides medical convenience for elderly people living alone, minors, pregnant women, disabled people, patients with chronic diseases, etc.
Strengthens care and psychological counseling for lockdown personnel, patients and front-line staff.
08. Campus
Schools without the epidemic should carry out normal offline teaching activities.
Supermarkets, canteens, sports venues, libraries, etc. on campus must be open normally.
Schools with epidemics should accurately define risk areas, and normal teaching, life and other order should be ensured outside the risk areas.
In addition, the aforementioned content mentions that special places such as childcare institutions, primary and secondary schools must check the negative nucleic acid test certificate and health code.
