How big will the current epidemic in Ruili be?
What should you pay attention to when traveling during Qingming Festival and May Day holidays?
How to prevent epidemics in border areas?
Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention
analyzed and explained this in an interview with "News One Plus One" on April 2 -
The preliminary judgment of the Ruili epidemic
The overall scale will not be too large
Targeting Ruili Wu Zunyou judged the scale of the epidemic, judging from the measures carried out by the Ruili Municipal Government in the past few days, especially the number of patients detected by nucleic acid tests in the past few days, suggesting that the epidemic was discovered at an earlier stage of the epidemic, The overall scale of the epidemic will not be too large.
Wu Zunyou said that the country has experienced more than 20 such epidemics and has relatively mature experience. What needs special attention is that must master the information of people who have left Ruili City before the epidemic was discovered, and send this information to relevant provinces and cities to strengthen management of these people who have left Ruili City.
Wu Zunyou specially reminded: If you leave Ruili before the outbreak, especially those who left just before the outbreak, they must promptly report to the local government and local epidemic prevention departments and conduct centralized quarantine. Once symptoms appear in , they can be treated in time. Don’t take chances with .
The Ruili epidemic situation
It is highly likely that it will be imported from abroad
As for the source of the Ruili epidemic situation, Wu Zunyou analyzed: "Ruili is located on the border, bordering Myanmar. The border environment is relatively complex, and the personnel exchanges and trade transactions are also very complicated. So There are indeed great difficulties in border prevention and control. From the perspective of the source of the epidemic, because there is no locally transmitted epidemic in the country, and overseas imports have occurred in this place, the possibility of introduction from abroad this time is very high.”
Border areas should give priority to
to carry out universal vaccination
So, how should border areas prevent and control the epidemic?
Wu Zunyou said that border areas should give priority to universal vaccination. “Vaccination takes time and there must be a priority. , we originally prioritized high-risk and key groups. In fact, key areas, especially areas where epidemics have occurred on the borders, should be prioritized for vaccination to carry out universal vaccination. "
Qingming and May Day holidays
How to travel safely
Amid the epidemic in Ruili, how do people cope with travel arrangements during the Qingming holiday?
Wu Zunyou said, on the one hand, we cannot be frightened because of the epidemic in Ruili, on the other hand, we cannot be frightened because of the national epidemic The overall situation is good, so we have relaxed our vigilance and become careless. "From the vast majority of the country, there are no infected people at the social level. It should be said that traveling is relatively safe.
However, in places with poor ventilation and dense crowds, you must take precautions, wear masks, and wash hands frequently. "At the same time, Wu Zunyou believes that people can arrange travel normally during the May Day holiday, but they must pay attention to two points: first, pay attention to the dynamic changes of the epidemic at any time; second, stay in places with dense traffic and poor ventilation. We must wear masks, wash hands frequently and other prevention and control measures.
"Getting the COVID-19 vaccine is a people's war."
If the prevention and control situation is good, can vaccination be relaxed? According to different voices, Wu Zunyou said that vaccination is very important now. Countries around the world are scrambling for time and speed to vaccinate all people as soon as possible.
Wu Zunyou said that many countries in Europe and the United States are now vaccinating very quickly, such as Israel has already done so. The vaccination rate has reached more than 80%, the UK is close to 40%, and the United States is also around 30%. Due to its large population base, China has a relatively large number of vaccinations, but the proportion is still relatively small. Depending on the time, whichever country can reach the vaccination rate required by the immune barrier can open the country.
"All people across the country should actively participate in vaccination. This is also a people's war and requires everyone. One’s commitment and involvement. " Wu Zunyou said.
