Recently, many new positive infections have been reported in Tibet, Guizhou and other places, and similar situations have occurred in other provinces across the country. From a national perspective, how to analyze the current epidemic situation and how to carry out precise prevention and control in key areas of the epidemic? Thanks.
Director of the Department of Defense of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, first-level inspector
Lei Zhenglong
Thank you for your question. At present, the national epidemic still shows the characteristics of "many points and wide scope". The recent epidemic has mainly concentrated in provinces such as Tibet, Ningxia, Guizhou, and Heilongjiang, mainly sub-branches of Omickron mutant strains BA.5 and BA.2.76. Compared with August, the number of new infections per day has dropped significantly, and the scope of the epidemic has continued to narrow. All localities insist on using fast to speed and implement various prevention and control measures scientifically and accurately. Hainan and Xinjiang provinces with severe epidemics in the early stage have achieved phased victory in epidemic prevention and control. The epidemic in Tibet is stable and improving, and the epidemic in Guizhou is under control. The epidemic situation in Ningxia and Heilongjiang Province is in its development stage, and the state has sent a working group to guide the local epidemic response.
Experts believe that as the National Day holiday approaches, the flow of people to visit relatives and travel increases, and coupled with the characteristics of Omickron mutant strains, my country is still facing the risk of imported epidemics from abroad and local epidemics, and the risk of clustered epidemics in many places still exists.
All localities should follow the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan, resolutely strengthen the "four parties' responsibilities", strictly and tightly implement epidemic prevention and control measures such as "four things to do, four things to do", early detection, early disposal, and prevent spillovers, resolutely maintain the bottom line of preventing large-scale epidemics, and prevent simplification, "one-size-fits-all" and layer-by-layer increase. All localities should strengthen normalized prevention and control measures, guide the orderly flow of personnel, implement closed-loop management measures for high-risk positions, and provide vaccination services for new coronavirus vaccine .Provinces where the epidemic occurs should increase their efforts to deal with the epidemic and prevent the epidemic spillover, so as to achieve social clearance as soon as possible. Thanks.
CCTV CCTV reporter
We noticed that this round of epidemic involves some areas with relatively weak medical resources such as Tibet and Xinjiang. Can the nucleic acid testing capabilities and medical treatment capabilities in these areas keep up? In addition, I also learned that many provinces actually sent medical teams to support Tibet’s fight against the epidemic. What role has the medical aid to Tibet and Xinjiang played in fighting the epidemic prevention and control? What specific help will be provided to local governments in epidemic prevention and control? Thanks.
Deputy Director of the Medical Administration and Administration Bureau of the National Health Commission
Li Dachuan
Thank you for your question. After the outbreak of the epidemic in Tibet and Xinjiang, the National Health Commission and the National Disease Control and Prevention Bureau immediately dispatched a working group to guide epidemic prevention and control and medical treatment. Tibet's medical resources are relatively weak, especially in the face of the rapid increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19 and the dual pressures of daily medical insurance in a short period of time, medical resources are even more insufficient. After the working group arrived in Tibet, they immediately worked with the local area to check for shortcomings and make up for leaks. First, expand medical resources, including the transformation of designated hospitals, the activation of square hospitals, and the increase of patient treatment beds on a large scale. At the same time, more than 5,800 medical forces were drawn from 18 provinces across the country to form medical treatment expert groups, temporary medical teams, nucleic acid sampling teams and laboratory testing forces to work in Tibet. They either took over or supplemented the forces of designated hospitals and temporary hospitals, participated in community nucleic acid sampling, or accepted or supplemented the forces of local laboratories in an organized manner. The above forces work together to ensure the smooth progress of the prevention and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia and medical treatment of Tibet. In Xinjiang, the national working group guided Xinjiang to carry out the transformation of centralized isolation points and temporary hospitals based on the epidemic situation in the entire Xinjiang region. At the same time, it sent national hospital infection experts to guide them to work in process design and equipment and facilities selection, achieving the shortest time, minimum cost, and optimal configuration, and achieving all tests, isolations, all receivables, and all treatments of the epidemic in Xinjiang are also guaranteed.
On the other hand, starting from 2015, the central government has implemented a "group-based" aid to Tibet and Xinjiang. Through several years of work, the medical service capabilities of the two places have been rapidly improved, which is reflected in the improvement of the hospital's hardware conditions, the strengthening of medical service capabilities, and the improvement of discipline construction. In addition, the hospital's work system and work flow have also been further improved and optimized. These hospitals have played a backbone role in the handling of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, including designated hospitals that undertake treatment tasks and hospitals that undertake daily medical tasks, all of which have played a very important role in enabling patients to be effectively treated. After the outbreak of the epidemic in the two places, especially after the outbreak of the epidemic in Tibet, the provinces that aided Tibet overcame difficulties and sent personnel to support them according to Tibet's needs. At the same time, a lot of materials and equipment were dispatched to Tibet to carry out work. In addition, through the telematics system, remote medical prevention and control guidance will be provided to the recipient cities in Tibet, and jointly improve the ability and level of epidemic prevention and control in Xinjiang and Tibet. Many provinces and cities have overcome difficulties under great pressure on epidemic prevention and control, and do their best to send people to support Tibet, creating a good atmosphere of national unity and unity in fighting the epidemic. Thanks.
People's Daily reporter
At present, the epidemic is still circulating in multiple points and frequent occurrence in many places. In the face of the difficulties brought by the epidemic, how to ensure the smooth flow of transportation network and the transportation of key materials? Thanks.
Deputy Director of Transport Service Department of the Ministry of Transport
Han Jinghua
Thank you for your question. As this reporter friend mentioned, the epidemic situation in the country is still happening locally.Affected by the epidemic, excessive control of freight vehicles is still sporadic in some areas. Especially in some areas, in the event of sudden cluster epidemics, measures such as static management in the whole region are adopted, and "one-size-fits-all" restriction on the passage of trucks has affected the transportation guarantee of key materials. To this end, our department fully plays the role of the Leading Group Office of the State Council’s Logistics Protection and Safety Work, strengthens overall coordination, strengthens departmental coordination, and does its best to do a good job in transportation and logistics protection and safety, ensures the smooth transportation of all types of key materials, and provides strong support for maintaining the normal production and living order of the people.
First, to ensure smooth and orderly transportation network. Adhere to the 24-hour duty and duty, keep the emergency transportation guarantee telephones unobstructed, strengthen tracking, dispatching and supervision and transfer, coordinate every matter to solve the problem of traffic and logistics problems reported by truck drivers and enterprises, and resolutely prevent the rebound of excessive traffic control problems. Guide all localities to further standardize the procedures and requirements for shutting down traffic logistics infrastructure, resolutely eliminate the unauthorized closure of transportation logistics infrastructure such as expressways, ordinary roads, railway stations, , port terminals, air airports, postal express distribution centers, etc., and effectively ensure the smooth operation of the transportation logistics network.
The second is to ensure the transportation of materials in key areas. Strengthen the tracking and dispatch of key epidemic-related areas, strengthen regional linkage and policy coordination, promote effective connection between supply and demand, and make every effort to ensure the transportation needs of medical prevention and control materials, daily necessities, important production materials, etc. in epidemic-related areas. Guide cities that implement static management across the region to implement the "one no, four immediate" guarantee measures, that is, no "one size fits all" restriction on the passage of trucks, immediately implement the key material pass system, immediately implement the "point-to-point" closed-loop management measures for transportation, immediately start the emergency material transit station, immediately announce the 24-hour emergency transportation guarantee telephone number, effectively ensure the smooth passage of key material transportation vehicles, and make every effort to ensure the transportation of various key materials such as urban residents' daily necessities.
The third is to ensure stable operation of urban distribution. Guide cities involved in epidemics, especially cities in the whole region, ensure the orderly passage of logistics and distribution vehicles such as postal express , ensure the normal service of urban distribution, postal express and other practitioners that meet epidemic prevention conditions, and ensure the normal operation of delivery nodes such as postal express distribution centers, business outlets, express service stations and other distribution nodes that meet epidemic prevention requirements. Actively promote the application of smart express boxes, encourage communities and units to add temporary delivery facilities such as shelves, promote contactless delivery services, and effectively smooth the "last mile" of terminal delivery. Thanks!

National Day holiday is coming soon. What measures will be taken by various places such as travel groups, tourist attractions, including entertainment venues and libraries to carry out epidemic prevention and control?
Deputy Director of Market Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism
Li Xiaoyong
Thank you for your question. The National Day holiday is the peak period for people to participate in cultural activities and travel. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism will adhere to the general strategy of "preventing imports from outside and preventing rebound from inside" and the general policy of "dynamic zeroing" unwavering, implement the spirit of the instructions of the central leaders and the deployment of the joint prevention and control mechanism, implement the tasks of epidemic prevention and control, build a solid line of defense for epidemic prevention and control, and resolutely prevent the spread of the epidemic through cultural and tourism channels. Focus on doing the following four aspects:
First, strengthen tourism activity management. Travel agencies and online travel companies are required not to operate inbound and outbound team tourism and "air ticket + hotel" business, suspend team tourism and "air ticket + hotel business in counties (cities, districts, banners) and municipalities directly under the central government, and suspend urban team tourism business at land border ports. Reasonably control the scale of the tourism team, do not organize large-scale tourism teams, and strictly control the passenger rate of tourist chartered vehicles. Star-level tourist hotels and graded tourism B&Bs should strengthen ventilation and disinfection, reasonably arrange the disinfection frequency, check the health code for occupants, and check the negative nucleic acid test certificate within 72 hours.A-level tourist attractions strictly implement the requirements of "limited quantity, reservation, and staggered peak", scan the code to measure the temperature for all tourists entering the park, and check the negative nucleic acid test certificate within 72 hours.
The second is to do a good job in cultural activities management. Public cultural venues are required to strengthen health and epidemic prevention management, and in accordance with the requirements of "limited quantity, appointment, and staggered peak", the total number of people entering the venue is controlled and dynamically regulated, and the reception upper limit is strictly set, and prevention and control measures such as scanning codes, temperature measurement, and inspection of negative nucleic acid test certificates within 72 hours are strictly implemented for the entry personnel.
The third is to strengthen health monitoring of practitioners. Cultural and tourism business units are required to keep abreast of the health status of employees, travel trajectories, etc., and resolutely prevent them from taking up their posts while sick. Strengthen employee education and training, improve employees' awareness and ability of scientific prevention, conduct health code inspections and verifications before taking up the job, standardize the wearing of masks, and ensure that employees are on duty and work in a standardized manner. According to the risk of epidemic spread or local epidemic prevention and control requirements, after scientific research and judgment, local governments can appropriately increase the frequency of nucleic acid testing for employees, and conduct nucleic acid testing for employees in tourism, accommodation, cultural business premises and other employees every 2 days. Tour guides must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours when they go to work.
4 is to improve the scientific and accurate level of epidemic prevention and control. Local cultural and tourism departments are required to strictly implement the "nine prohibitions" requirements for epidemic prevention and control. While doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, they should ensure that all cultural and tourism venues are open in sequence during the National Day holiday and before and after the National Day holiday, activities are carried out smoothly, and tourists are flowing safely, meeting the cultural and tourism needs of the masses, and preventing the industry from simplifying epidemic prevention and control, "one-size-fits-all" and "adding layer by layer". Thanks!

How can localities try their best to prevent the occurrence of security risks in the normalized prevention and control of the epidemic? Have the national level made relevant work arrangements for security risk prevention? Thanks.
Director of the Department of Defense of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, first-level inspector
Lei Zhenglong
Thank you for your question. After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, we have always adhered to the principle of "people first and life first", guided all localities to conscientiously implement relevant prevention and control policies and measures, do precise prevention and control, strengthen safety risks prevention, and effectively safeguard the lives and health of the general public.
We have put forward requirements in several aspects:
One is in the nucleic acid detection process. All localities are required to reasonably organize and arrange nucleic acid examinations for the masses to avoid crowds gathering and chatting. When the public participates in nucleic acid testing, they should pay attention to taking personal protection, maintain a one-meter line, wear a mask, and maintain a good hand hygiene of . All localities should also reasonably arrange sample transfer vehicles and shall not be used for other purposes during the transfer task.
The second is in the flow regulation and transportation links. It is required that all localities should strengthen on-site face-to-face epidemic investigation, and personnel should also take personal protection, and scientifically and accurately determine risk personnel such as close contacts, close contacts, and exposed personnel in epidemic-related places. Coordinate the arrangement and deployment of transfer work, formulate transfer plans based on local actual conditions, reasonably arrange transfer tasks and transfer time, strengthen daily inspections and safety maintenance of transfer vehicles, improve the safety awareness of drivers and passengers, eliminate drivers and drive fatigue, and ensure transfer safety.
The third is in the centralized isolation process. The infrastructure of centralized isolation sites should comply with the current national standards and requirements for building safety, fire safety, earthquake resistance and disaster prevention, strictly regulate the management of isolation points, and strictly prevent cross-infection. For special groups that are not suitable for centralized isolation after being evaluated, home isolation measures can be taken. For those who are not suitable for single persons and single rooms, appropriate personnel should be designated to accompany them. When taking centralized or home isolation measures, the door locking should not be used.
4 is the supply of daily necessities, medical insurance and other links. After the outbreak of the epidemic, all localities should scientifically and accurately define risk areas and make dynamic adjustments, strictly implement management requirements in accordance with regulations, and clarify that a special team of personnel is responsible for the supply of basic living materials for residents, and especially strictly prevent the occurrence of food safety incidents in .Specialized medical institutions should be designated to provide medical services to residents in high and medium-risk areas and provide medical convenience for special groups. Thanks.

National Day holiday is coming soon. What targeted work arrangements have been made for the prevention and control of the epidemic in schools during the holidays? Thanks.
Deputy Director of the Department of Physical Education Health and Art, and First-level Inspector
Liu Peijun
Thank you for your question. As the National Day holiday approaches, the flow of social personnel has increased, and it is more difficult to prevent the epidemic on campus. The Ministry of Education conscientiously implements the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, guides and promotes the national education system and schools at all levels and types to speed up the preparations for the holidays, and implements the national measures on epidemic prevention and control, especially efficiently coordinates campus epidemic prevention and control and teacher and students' learning and life. Recently, the Ministry of Education has made four key arrangements to guide local schools to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control during the National Day holiday.
first, strengthen school epidemic monitoring and early warning. Give full play to the early warning role of the national education system's epidemic monitoring mechanism, count the overall situation of campus epidemics, school opening and school return and campus management every day, and dynamically analyze , timely understand development trends and trends, and enhance the initiative, pertinence and scientific nature of campus epidemic prevention and control.
second, strengthen national scheduling of epidemic prevention and control. The Ministry of Education has held many national education system epidemic prevention and control video scheduling meetings to analyze the epidemic situation, remind us of the shortcomings in epidemic prevention and control work, exchange experience in handling sudden outbreaks in schools, especially campuses, and guide schools in various places to implement various measures for epidemic prevention and control during the National Day holiday and before and after.
Third, strengthen technical training on epidemic prevention and control. The Ministry of Education and the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention issued the "Technical Plan for the Prevention and Control of the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic in Higher Education, Primary and Secondary Schools, and Child Care Institutions (Sixth Edition)". After the plan is issued, it will promote local governments to carry out training on school epidemic prevention and control technical plans at each level, and improve the management capabilities of local education departments and schools in epidemic prevention and control and emergency response capabilities for sudden outbreaks.
Fourth, strengthen supervision and inspection of epidemic prevention and control. The Ministry of Education has carried out special inspections on epidemic prevention and control in the education system nationwide, selected some schools in key provinces for on-site inspections, and carried out inspections on epidemic prevention and control in schools in their provinces in various provinces, urging and guiding schools at all levels to strengthen self-inspection on campus epidemic prevention and control, make up for shortcomings, strengthen weaknesses, plug loopholes, and comprehensively build a solid line of defense for campus epidemic risk. Thanks!

National Day holiday is coming, and the number of travelers will increase. What measures will be taken to coordinate epidemic prevention and control and serve passenger transportation? Thanks.
Deputy Director of Transport Service Department of the Ministry of Transport
Han Jinghua
Thank you for your question. The National Day holiday is the traditional peak season for people to travel, and transportation is the basic support for service guarantee and a key link in epidemic prevention and control. During the National Day holiday, it is estimated that 210 million passengers will be transported nationwide, down about 30% from the same period last year. The Ministry of Transport has conscientiously implemented the work deployment of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism, and guided local transportation authorities to coordinate transportation service guarantees and epidemic prevention and control through special arrangements, video scheduling, on-site inspections, etc., and made every effort to ensure the safe, healthy and convenient travel of the people.
First, improve the transportation organization plan. Strengthen the analysis and judgment of passenger flow trends, optimize capacity allocation, strengthen the deployment of capacity in key areas such as passenger transport hubs and tourist attractions, make good connections between transportation modes such as railways, road passenger transport, civil aviation, and urban transportation, and smooth the "last mile" of travel.
The second is to optimize transportation service measures. Strengthen the organization of passenger flow in the station and guide passengers to enter the station for security checks in an orderly manner. Actively carry out online ticket sales, electronic tickets, customized passenger transport services, and implement preferential policies for travel for soldiers, fire rescue personnel, etc.Care for and help the travel of key groups such as the elderly and children.
The third is to implement epidemic prevention and control measures in detail. Implement epidemic prevention and control measures such as disinfection and ventilation of passenger stations and transportation vehicles, passengers’ temperature measurement and code verification, wearing masks, 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate inspection for passengers traveling across provinces, nucleic acid testing and health monitoring of practitioners, and epidemic prevention publicity. Strictly implement the requirements of the capital's strict joint prevention and control mechanism for the management of entering Beijing, and implement epidemic prevention measures such as remote inspection of passengers entering Beijing.
4 is to strengthen security emergency management. Strengthen the main responsibility of enterprises for safety production, strengthen safety training for practitioners, strengthen vehicle safety management and dynamic monitoring, promptly check and eliminate various safety hazards, and effectively ensure transportation safety.
5 is to strengthen holiday duty and duty. During the festival, transportation departments at all levels will be on duty 24 hours a day, maintain the emergency command system online in real time, handle emergencies in a timely and properly, and ensure the smooth and orderly operation of transportation.
Finally, we remind passengers to check and grasp the epidemic prevention policies of their destinations in a timely manner before traveling during the holidays. Before traveling across provinces by passenger vehicles, prepare a negative nucleic acid test certificate for 48 hours; wear masks in standardized during entry and exit of passenger stations and transportation vehicles, and cooperate with temperature measurement and code verification and other epidemic prevention work, so that we can jointly protect a safe and healthy holiday. Thanks!
China Daily reporter
Recently, some areas have experienced local clustered epidemics, and they are facing the National Day holiday soon. The flow of people will inevitably increase. What risks will this pose to the epidemic? In addition, many places currently advocate local festivals. What are the safety tips for people who really need to travel across regions? Thanks.
Director of the Department of Defense of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, first-level inspector
Lei Zhenglong
Thank you for your question. Large-scale movement of people during the National Day holiday will increase the risk of epidemic transmission. In order to ensure that the general public spends a healthy and safe National Day holiday and ensure that the domestic epidemic situation is generally stable, we remind the general public to pay attention to the following points when traveling during holidays:
First of all, try to celebrate the festival locally, minimize travel across cities and cities, and avoid the risk of epidemic transmission caused by large-scale movement of people. If you really need to travel, you should understand the epidemic situation at the destination and do not go to the counties and districts where medium and high-risk areas are located. Personal health monitoring should be done before traveling. If suspicious symptoms appear, cancel the travel plan in time and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
Secondly, according to regulations, hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours and take planes, high-speed rail, train, cross-provincial long-distance passenger cars, cross-provincial passenger ships and other means of transportation, try to stagger the peak time and peak; during the journey, you must take personal protection, maintain a safe distance, wear masks, and maintain a good hand hygiene, and reduce the gathering and random movement of people in the means of transportation.
Finally, when arriving at the destination, actively cooperate with the local government to carry out "ground inspection". In accordance with the relevant requirements of hotels, hotels and places with crowded personnel such as tourist attractions, you must actively scan the code to register and present a negative nucleic acid test certificate that meets the time requirements. Once an epidemic occurs in a tourist destination or a route or is listed as a medium- and high-risk area, you must abide by local epidemic prevention regulations and those who have returned to their residence must actively report to their community. Thanks!
Guangming Daily reporter
What is the current medical treatment situation in key areas of the epidemic? What difficulties and difficulties need to be overcome in the treatment of critically ill patients? Thanks.
Deputy Director of the Medical Administration and Administration Bureau of the National Health Commission
Li Dachuan
Thank you for your question.As we all know, the main epidemic strain of the new coronavirus is the Omickron mutant strain. This strain is characterized by its fast spread, strong occultness, and is prone to large-scale clustered epidemics in a short period of time. Therefore, the first test brought by medical treatment is that a large number of positive infections need to be admitted in a short period of time, which brings great challenges to achieving "acceptance as much as possible" and "treatment as much as possible". Second, as the number of infections increases, the elderly with underlying diseases or those who have not completed the COVID-19 vaccination will easily develop into severe diseases and are more difficult to treat.
In order to deal with the challenges brought by the new strain, we responded in this way in medical treatment.
First, quickly expand medical treatment resources, guide local governments to quickly open temporary hospitals, and at the same time transform and expand designated hospitals. At the same time, medical teams are mobilized and medical equipment is added to form sufficient treatment forces in a short time to achieve the goal of "consumption as much as possible" and "treatment as much as possible".
second, classify and manage patients. For mild patients with no severe risk or asymptomatic infection, is admitted to the temporary hospital. Patients with high-risk factors, including severe patients, will be concentrated in designated hospitals for centralized treatment.
3 Third, early intervention and early warning screening, we require temporary hospitals and designated hospitals to pay attention to the warning indicators of severe cases for people with high risk factors, including blood oxygen and various indicators of blood examination. After discovering the situation, you can intervene early, including small molecule drug neutralizing antibodies, prone position ventilation, high flow oxygen therapy, etc. to reduce the occurrence of severe cases.
fourth, forming a strong expert treatment force and determining the treatment plan for patients. The national expert group and local experts jointly form a medical team. According to the principle of "four concentrations", critically ill patients and patients with high-risk factors will be managed in a centralized manner to respond to various situations in a timely manner. In addition, during the entire treatment process, we also attach great importance to the treatment of underlying diseases to prevent the patient's condition from further aggravating and leading to death caused by the aggravating underlying diseases.
Finally, during the entire treatment process, we have always adhered to the principle of paying equal attention to traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the joint application of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, including in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation process, and have also achieved very good results. So far, medical treatment work in key areas of the epidemic has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the treatment effect is good. Thanks.
Hong Kong Economic Herald reporter
My question asked Ministry of Culture and Tourism . We have noticed that many people choose to celebrate the festival nearby during this year's National Day holiday, which has a higher demand for cultural venues. How can we ensure the orderly operation of the cultural and tourism market during the National Day holiday while doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control? Thanks.
Deputy Director of Market Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism
Li Xiaoyong
Thank you for your concern for culture and tourism work. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a document to hold a national video conference to deploy the National Day holiday market work on a special topic, requiring local governments to advocate different ways of celebrating the festival based on the local epidemic prevention and control situation. At the same time, according to the consumption needs and consumption wishes of the people, we will do our best to provide product supply, service guarantee, order maintenance and other work to ensure the stable operation of the cultural and tourism market during the National Day holiday.
First, do a targeted product supply. Local cultural and tourism departments are required to formulate targeted consumption-friendly policies to guide residents to scientifically arrange travel plans while strictly implementing epidemic prevention and control measures to activate the local cultural and tourism consumption market. Implement the cultural and tourism consumption promotion plan, deepen the "100 cities and 100 districts" cultural and tourism consumption helps enterprises and benefit the people, innovate the way of holding consumption activities, and promote the quality and upgrading of consumption. Give full play to the demonstration and leading role of national night cultural and tourism consumption clusters, carry out theme activities in conjunction with the National Day holiday, and create a popular destination for night consumption.To adapt to the needs of local consumers, encourage cultural experience tours such as museum tours, technology tours, folk tours, etc., develop local tours, surrounding tours and other tourism routes, launch new products such as camping tourism and study tours, and promote the integrated development of online and offline consumption. Provide more contactless and less gathering cultural and tourism products such as offline broadcasts, cloud exhibitions, and cloud tourism.
The second is to provide better services. It is required that museums, libraries, cultural centers (stations) and other public cultural institutions should ensure opening hours, event content and service quality while strictly implementing epidemic prevention and control measures. Organize thematic mass cultural activities such as celebrating the National Day, welcoming the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture, build a platform for the general public to participate in cultural activities such as square dance, singing, calligraphy, art, photography, etc., launch more tourism benefits to the people, improve the functions of tourism public facilities, strengthen smart tourism management, optimize the setting of tourist routes, provide scenic spot services, and continuously improve tourists' visiting experience.
The third is to maintain a healthy and standardized market order. Local cultural and tourism departments are required to comprehensively use a variety of means to strengthen supervision of cultural and tourism business units, standardize business behaviors, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Investigate and punish illegal and irregular activities such as setting up private attractions, unreasonable low-priced tours, and illegal one-day tours in accordance with the law; crack down on illegal and irregular business activities such as operating without licenses, operating travel agencies without permission, and illegally accepting minors, and carry out in-depth special actions to crack down on and rectify pension fraud. Thanks!
China Education TV reporter
Now, there is still a risk of epidemics in some areas. Will there be any adjustments in the management of teachers and students entering and leaving the campus during the National Day holiday? Thanks.
Deputy Director of the Department of Physical Education Health and Art, and First-level Inspector
Liu Peijun
Thanks to this reporter for caring about campus entry and exit management issues. Since the start of school in the fall, before the National Day holiday, teachers and students have paid great attention to the management issues of campus entry and exit during this period. This is a key concern for everyone, and it also concerns the way teachers and students live, work and study. At present, the global COVID-19 epidemic is at a high level, and there are also medium and high-risk areas in China, so epidemic prevention and control cannot be ignored. Schools should not only prevent the epidemic risks brought by social mobility, but also ensure that teachers and students celebrate the festival in an orderly and healthy manner. Therefore, the current management of campus entry and exit needs to be more scientific and accurate, prevent the risk of out-of-campus epidemic imports, and ensure the normal living order of teachers and students. Judging from the actual practices of campus management in various places, the campus entry and exit management implements the school epidemic prevention and control technical plans issued by the state, and does a good job in "precise prevention and control, integrated management, and dynamic adjustment" according to time, place and situation.
first, implement precise prevention and control. Campus entry and exit management must be both strict and flexible, and effectively improve the scientific and accurate level of campus entry and exit management. On the one hand, we must keep a close eye on the school gate and conscientiously implement all regulations on school gate management. When entering the school gate, we must scan the code, verify the code, measure the temperature, wear masks scientifically, strictly control unrelated personnel to enter the school, and strictly prevent the entry of the epidemic outside the school. On the other hand, we must meet the reasonable needs of teachers and students for medical treatment and business trips, and prevent "increasing the amount layer by layer" and "over-prevention and control", and especially prevent the simple practice of "switching it aside".
Second, implement dynamic adjustments. The school optimizes the management methods of school entrance and exit based on the epidemic situation and changes in prevention and control policies in the local area. When there is no epidemic or risk in the school’s location and campus, teachers and students should be allowed to enter and exit the campus in an orderly manner. When an epidemic occurs in the school location or campus, there are risks. The emergency plan and emergency response mechanism should be activated, strictly manage the school gate, and upgrade campus control to control the epidemic with fast system and fast control, and ensure the health and safety of teachers and students.
Third, implement integrated management well. Teachers, students and staff must abide by the management regulations on campus entry and exit. All personnel must follow the integrated management requirements. They must not make special or exceptions, and avoid comparison.The school should explain the background and considerations of the school’s epidemic prevention and control policies to teachers, students and staff, and strive to understand, support and cooperate with the school in all aspects of epidemic prevention and control.
Generally speaking, the school gate entry and exit management is very important and is a barrier. During the National Day holiday, schools should continuously optimize and adjust the school gate entry and exit management methods based on the local epidemic situation and policy adjustments, and scientifically and accurately guide personnel to enter and exit the campus. While preventing the epidemic, we will strive to reduce the impact of the epidemic on school education and teaching, teacher and student study and life, and the normal campus order. Thanks!
News reporter
What is the current situation of COVID-19 vaccination in my country? Especially the situation of the elderly over 60 years old that everyone is more concerned about. Thanks.
Director of the Department of Defense of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, first-level inspector

National Day holiday is expected to usher in a peak of tourists. What are the reminders for tourists who travel on the National Day holiday? Thanks.
Deputy Director of Market Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism
Li Xiaoyong
Thank you for your question. The National Day holiday is approaching. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism reminds tourists to take personal protection and travel safely and healthily.
First, arrange your itinerary reasonably. Understand the latest epidemic prevention and control policies of the departure and destination through authoritative channels, consciously abide by the announcements issued by local governments and relevant departments, and do not travel to medium- and high-risk areas in China. Tourists who travel by themselves and travel freely actively conduct nucleic acid testing and cooperate with scanning codes to measure temperature. When symptoms such as colds and fever occur, you should stop visiting immediately and seek medical treatment in time.
The second is to strengthen personal protection. Consciously abide by epidemic prevention and control regulations, wear masks, wash hands frequently, gather less, and ventilate frequently, and develop the good habit of "one-meter line". When taking transportation and entering the park, consciously keep a distance from other tourists, and open the distance between tables and chairs when dining to avoid crowding.
Third, pay attention to travel safety. Do not carry prohibited dangerous items when taking public transportation, and wear seat belts while driving. When driving on your own, you must check the condition of the car, and do not bring faults on the road, eliminate fatigue and drunk driving, and drive safely and civilizedly.
4 is to pay attention to fire safety. When visiting, strictly abide by fire safety management regulations. When staying in a hotel, do not lie on the sofa or smoke on the bed. Pay attention to fire prevention and disaster prevention when traveling outdoors, and do not smoke, barbecue or use open flames in places where there are many weeds or leaves such as accumulation, or where there are fireproof tips.
5 is to pay attention to the safety of travel. According to personal age, health, psychology and other conditions, be cautious in participating in high-risk projects such as high altitude, highway, and adventure. Do not go to "wild attractions" that have not been officially developed and opened to receive tourists, lack of security protection, and private "attractions" that have been operated illegally. Thanks!

We noticed that some netizens are worried about whether the normalized nucleic acid testing points will be open normally during the National Day holiday, and will they make adjustments in terms of time? During the National Day holiday, how to ensure the public's nucleic acid testing needs? Thanks.
Deputy Director of the Medical Administration and Administration Bureau of the National Health Commission
Li Dachuan
Thank you for your question. Regarding the provision of daily nucleic acid testing services to the people, the medical treatment team of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism has made many arrangements, and local governments have also made further detailed requirements based on actual conditions. In order to ensure that the people can receive timely nucleic acid testing services during the National Day holiday, we have also made relevant deployments and arrangements, and localities are actively implementing it. I think everyone can dispel this concern. There are several specific aspects:
first, further optimizing the setting and layout of nucleic acid sampling points. All localities should lay out nucleic acid sampling points in accordance with grid requirements, and also set up electronic maps to make it easier for the people to query and sample nearby.
Second, make good arrangements for sampling time. In addition to making the schedule of normal nucleic acid sampling points, local governments must also determine institutions that provide nucleic acid sampling services 24 hours a day, and they must also announce them to the public. For these institutions and nucleic acid sampling points, sufficient sampling force should be arranged, and medical staff should be rested and scheduled.
Third, do a good job in maintaining on-site order. All sampling points are required to maintain order on site in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention and control to avoid crowds and reduce the gathering of people.
4th, timely update nucleic acid test results. Localities are required to update the nucleic acid test results to relevant information systems in a timely manner so that the public can query the results in a timely manner. Thanks!

We noticed that during this year's National Day holiday, how are the passenger flows on the road expected? Thanks.
Deputy Director of Transport Service Department of the Ministry of Transport
Han Jinghua
Thank you for your question. According to relevant arrangements of the State Council, this year's National Day holiday will be exempt from tolls for small passenger cars below 7 seats (including 7 seats). The specific free passage period is from 0:00 on October 1 to 24:00 on October 7. I would like to remind drivers here that the free access of expressways is based on the time when the vehicle leaves the exit toll road, that is, small passenger cars can enjoy the free policy if they drive away from the expressway exit between 0:00 on October 1 and 24:00 on October 7.
National Day holiday, affected by the epidemic situation and changes in prevention and control policies in various places, overall, public travel has been suppressed, mainly focusing on tourism and leisure, visiting relatives and friends, returning to work and hometown. The province and medium- and short-distance travel account for a large proportion, and long-distance travel across provinces has decreased compared with previous years. The proportion of self-driving tours in small buses and surrounding tours is relatively high. Local congestion will occur during peak hours of road networks around large and medium-sized cities. The passenger flow on the road will show the following characteristics:
First, the travel time distribution generally shows a trend of increasing first and then falling. The departure period in the early holiday is concentrated, and the return time in the later period is relatively scattered. Specifically, from 16:00 on September 30, the traffic volume of the road network began to increase, and a small peak of departure before the festival occurred from 20:00 to 24:00. From 9:00 to 14:00 on October 1, the highest peak of travel during the entire holiday, and the probability of slow congestion is high. From October 2 to 4, the mid-term and short-distance travel will be intertwined, and travel will be relatively scattered. From October 5th to 6th, the traffic flow was relatively concentrated from 16th to 20th. On October 8, the normal level will basically return to normal.
Second, the road network traffic has decreased year-on-year. It is expected that the average daily traffic of highways across the country will be about 38-40 million vehicles during the holiday period, a decrease of 20%-24% year-on-year (49.86 million vehicles) in the same period in 2021, and a decrease of 16%-20% year-on-year (47.36 million vehicles) in the same period in 2020. The peak traffic occurred on October 1, about 45 million vehicles.
Third, the expressway traffic in urban agglomerations has all declined. During this year's National Day holiday, the expressway traffic in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle is expected to decrease by 20%-22% year-on-year.Among them, the traffic in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and Chengdu-Chongqing region both decreased significantly year-on-year, with a decrease of about 25% and 54% respectively, while the traffic in the Yangtze River Delta and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region decreased by about 13% and 5% respectively. The highway traffic and road network operating pressure around large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Wuhan, and Changsha is under great pressure. Thanks!

National Day holiday is approaching, and universities have issued National Day holiday arrangements. What specific requirements have universities put forward for campus service guarantee work during the National Day holiday? Thanks.
Deputy Director of the Department of Physical Education Health and Art, and First-level Inspector
Liu Peijun
Thanks to this reporter friend for his question. In order to ensure that teachers and students of the school have a safe, orderly, healthy and fulfilling National Day holiday, the Ministry of Education guides schools at all levels and types, especially universities, to coordinate and ensure five campus service guarantee work during the National Day holiday:
first, and plan to do a good job in special holiday work. The Ministry of Education guides local schools to formulate work plans for epidemic prevention and control during the National Day holiday and around the country. Always maintain the efficient operation of the leadership system, command system and emergency mechanism for campus epidemic prevention and control, so that strength will not decrease and work will be continuously during the holidays, and communicate in a timely manner, respond quickly and deal with it properly in the event of special circumstances, so as to ensure the safety, health and orderly holidays between teachers and students.
Second, strengthen scientific and precise prevention and control on campus. Strictly implement the national ninth edition prevention and control plan and the school’s sixth edition technical plan, scientifically and accurately implement normalized epidemic prevention and control measures, and adjust and optimize campus management methods. Strengthen epidemic prevention and control work in key groups, key places and key links of the school, especially strengthen health monitoring of teachers, students and staff, standardize the normalization of nucleic acid testing, strengthen the management of key places such as school canteens, dormitories, classrooms, school hospitals, libraries, express delivery points, supermarkets, and family homes, and improve the humanized and scientific level of campus epidemic prevention and control.
Third, make good arrangements for National Day holiday activities. In accordance with the relevant national and local epidemic prevention and control regulations, schools advocate teachers and students to celebrate the festival locally. The school carries out a series of campus activities in conjunction with the National Day to enrich students' holiday life and meet the needs of teachers and students in school, including study, scientific research and work.
fourth, improve the level of campus life service. Ensure the supply of daily necessities and epidemic prevention materials, the school supermarkets, bathrooms, canteens, activity centers and other places are open normally, resolutely stop random price increases and disguised price increases, strive to meet the reasonable needs of teachers and students in terms of "eating, accommodation, learning, use, and medical care", and properly solve the problems of teachers and students ordering takeout, receiving and receiving express delivery. We must open up channels for reflecting teachers and students' demands and improve the feedback mechanism for solving problems. We must have a dynamic, timely and comprehensive understanding of the various needs of teachers and students, and communicate and resolve relevant matters of concern in a timely manner.
Fifth, strengthen health education for teachers, students and staff. Carry out publicity and education on epidemic prevention and control knowledge for all teachers, students and staff, popularize policies, knowledge, skills, health knowledge, and emergency response processes for epidemic prevention and control, guide teachers, students and staff to establish a strong awareness of "the first person in charge of their own health", enhance health management capabilities, consciously accept health monitoring, and take the initiative to take personal protection to ensure that everyone is healthy and campus health. Thanks!

Influenza is high in autumn and winter. Are we ready to deal with other respiratory infectious diseases and the superposition of the new crown? Can the current prevention and control measures be effectively responded? Thanks.
Director of the Department of Defense of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, first-level inspector
Lei Zhenglong
Thank you for your question. This year, the influenza epidemic at home and abroad is the highest level in the same period since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. We must strictly prevent the risk of superimposed epidemics of the new crown pneumonia epidemic this winter and next spring and respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza.Recently, we have made arrangements and deployments for influenza prevention and control related work, requiring all localities to continue to implement comprehensive measures, implement various prevention and control measures, and scientifically do a good job in influenza prevention and control in accordance with the law.
First, strengthen active monitoring. Give full play to the role of "sentinel point" of grassroots medical institutions, use the online direct reporting system for infectious disease epidemics and public health emergencies, strengthen the monitoring of statutory infectious diseases and clustered infectious diseases, and carry out active monitoring of key infectious diseases such as influenza.
The second is to strengthen departmental cooperation. In conjunction with relevant departments, we will jointly guide key institutions such as childcare institutions, schools, and nursing homes to implement the responsibilities of four parties and promptly carry out investigation, handling and response to influenza outbreaks.
The third is to promote influenza vaccination. Through extensive publicity and mobilization, the public will be raising their awareness of actively getting influenza vaccinated. We recommend that key and high-risk groups such as medical staff, elderly people aged 60 and above, children aged 6 months to 5 years old, patients with chronic diseases, and those participating in large-scale activities and security personnel actively receive influenza vaccine.
4 is to do a good job in medical treatment. Coordinate medical resources, improve tiered diagnosis and treatment strategies, strengthen medical personnel training and drug and material reserves, and improve the ability and level of treatment of common infectious diseases in autumn and winter.
5 is to guide the public to be the first person responsible for their own health. Understand and master the prevention and control knowledge of common infectious diseases in autumn and winter, continue to take personal protection, maintain wearing masks and disinfect hands, try to avoid good hygiene habits such as going to crowded places, and jointly prevent respiratory infectious diseases such as the new crown and influenza in winter and spring. Thanks!
