China.com September 8 (Reporter Peng Yao) The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism html held a press conference on the 38th. Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health Commission and deputy director of the Publicity Department, said that recently, the epidemic in neighboring countries has continued to ferment, and the number of new cases in some countries has hit a new high since the epidemic. Some countries have caused serious runs in health and public service resources, and the pressure to prevent imported cases in China has increased significantly.
html Since September, 29 provinces across the country have reported new local infections, and community transmission and epidemic spillover in some areas have not been completely blocked, and the prevention and control situation is severe and complex.Mi Feng emphasized that we must unswervingly adhere to the overall strategy of "preventing imports from outside and preventing rebound from inside" and the general policy of "dynamic zeroing", strictly follow the national ninth edition prevention and control plan and the requirements of the "nine prohibitions", strive to be scientific and accurate, and control the epidemic with the shortest time and the minimum cost. The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism will expose typical cases of violating the "Nine Prohibitions" and adding layers of funds without authorization.
Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the National Health Commission’s Disease Control and Prevention Bureau, said that at present, the national epidemic situation occurs frequently in local areas. Key provinces with severe epidemics in the early stage have achieved phased results in epidemic prevention and control, and the epidemic situation in some cities and cities in some provinces is still developing.
Hainan and Xinjiang have achieved remarkable results in epidemic prevention and control, the number of new reported infections continues to decline, and the epidemic has entered the final stage. The overall epidemic in Tibet has shown a steady trend, with the number of new reported infections and the scope of impacts declining. The risks are generally controllable, but the number of new infected people is still at a high level and the epidemic situation remains severe.
The Sichuan epidemic has slowed down recently. The number of new infections on that day fluctuated and decreased, but the risk of community transmission of the epidemic is still relatively high. In addition, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred in Luding County on September 5, adding new difficulties to the handling of the epidemic. The epidemic has fluctuated in some areas of Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, Jiangxi, Shandong, Guangdong, Hubei, Beijing, Shanghai and other provinces recently, and there is a risk of community transmission.
The epidemic in other provinces mainly comes from quarantine and lockdown personnel, mainly imported across regions, and the overall risk of local social transmission is small.
Wu Liangyou said that overall, all localities strictly implement the requirements of the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan, carry out prevention and control work scientifically and accurately, and ensure that the epidemic is discovered and extinguished. Recently, with the end of the summer vacation, a large number of tourists have returned from other places, especially college students, which has increased the risk of domestic epidemic spread and cross-regional spread. At present, my country continues to face pressure from the import of overseas epidemics and the spread of local epidemics. There is still a risk of clustered epidemics in various places, and the task of epidemic prevention and control is still arduous.
All localities will further strengthen the ability to respond to epidemics with early detection, quick disposal and prevent spread, effectively prevent external imports in port areas, adhere to scientific and precise epidemic prevention and control, and continue to maintain a good epidemic prevention and control situation.
