State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on the afternoon of June 28 to introduce the relevant situation of scientific and accurate epidemic prevention and control. Let’s pay attention together!

The domestic epidemic has been generally at a low level fluctuation in the recent domestic epidemic

The recent domestic epidemic has the following characteristics: First, the recent epidemic prevention and control has achieved obvious results, and The national epidemic has generally fluctuated in the overall low level . Since June 18, the number of infected people reported every day in the country has been less than 50. In the past week (June 20-June 27), there have been 198 infections reported nationwide, involving 24 prefectures and cities in 10 provinces, with an average of 25 cases reported every day. Second, there are sporadic social infections in in some areas, and the risk of community transmission still exists, and the range of activities of infected people before control is wide, so some places have formed a relatively long tail period of clearing. Third, Omickron BA.2 is still the main virus strain of the local epidemic in my country, but should be highly vigilant about the transmission of Omickron BA.4 and BA.5 from abroad, because BA.4 and BA.5 have been found in imported cases from abroad recently, and there are still signs of increasing.

The isolation and control time for close contacts and incoming personnel is adjusted from "14+7" to "7+3"

"New Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan (Ninth Edition)" to optimize and adjust the isolation and management period and methods of risk personnel. has adjusted the isolation control time of close contacts and incoming personnel from "14-day centralized medical observation + 7-day home health monitoring" to "7-day centralized medical observation + 3-day home health monitoring" , and the nucleic acid testing measures have been adjusted from "1, 4, 7 and 14 days of nucleic acid testing, nasopharyngeal swabs, and double examinations before release of quarantine" to "1, 2, 3, 5, 7 days of centralized medical observation and 3 days of home health monitoring, and oropharyngeal swabs", and no double examinations will be conducted before release of centralized medical observation. The control measures for close contacts for close contacts have been adjusted from "7-day centralized medical observation" to "7-day home medical observation" , and nucleic acid testing on the first, fourth and seventh days.

unified the demarcation standards for the control area and medium and high risk areas, and the high-medium and low-risk areas are demarcated and the prevention and control plan of the 9th edition of the prevention and control plan is unified the demarcated standards for the control area and medium and high risk areas. In the past, there were two types of risk zone demarcation standards, one was the high, medium and low-risk zone demarcation standards, and the other was the locked control zone, control zone, and prevention and control zone demarcation standards. The ninth edition of the prevention and control plan connects the two types of risk area demarcation standards and prevention and control measures. integrates the concept of using high, medium and low risk areas to form a new risk area demarcation and control plan.

high-risk area refers to the residence of cases and asymptomatic infected persons , as well as workplaces and activity areas where the epidemic is frequent and the risk of epidemic transmission is high. In principle, high-risk areas are designated by the community or village where they live. The risk area scope can be judged and adjusted based on the results of epidemiological investigation . High-risk areas have adopted the blockade of "no home delivery and door-to-door service". If there are no new infections in the high-risk area for 7 consecutive days, it can be reduced to the medium-risk area. If there are no new infections for 3 consecutive days, it can be reduced to the low-risk area . People in high-risk areas with cross-regional spillovers will be subject to 7 days of centralized isolation and medical observation. Nucleic acid tests are carried out on the first, second, third, fifth and seven days of centralized isolation.

medium-risk area refers to the workplace and activity areas where cases and asymptomatic infected persons stay and move for a certain period of time, and may have the risk of epidemic transmission. The scope of the demarcation of the risk zone is determined based on the results of epidemiological investigations. Medium-risk areas will adopt control measures such as "people do not leave the area and take matters off-peak". If there are no new infections for 7 consecutive days, it can be reduced to the low-risk area . For people in medium-risk areas who spill over the region, 7-day home medical observation will be taken, and nucleic acid testing will be carried out on the first, 4 and 7 days of home medical observation. If the conditions for home isolation are not met, centralized isolation and medical observation will be taken.

other areas of the county (city, district, banner) where the medium and high-risk areas are located are designated as low-risk areas .After all medium and high-risk areas of counties (cities, districts, and banners) after the outbreak occurs, the county (cities, districts, and banners) where the epidemic occurs will be lifted, and normalized prevention and control measures will be implemented throughout the county (cities, districts, and banners). During the epidemic response process, if individual cases and asymptomatic infected persons have low transmission risk to their residence, workplace, and activity areas, close contacts have been timely controlled. After analysis, there is no risk of community transmission, and the risk area of ​​ may not be delineated.

low-risk areas people do not need to isolate when going out across regions

low-risk areas take preventive measures of "personal protection and avoiding gathering". People in low-risk areas who leave their area or city should hold a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate . For people in low-risk areas who go out across regions, isolation and control measures are not required, but two nucleic acid tests are required to complete within 3 days and conduct personal health monitoring.

The quarantine period for incoming people and close contacts is not shortened, and it is by no means relaxing prevention and control

The ninth edition of the prevention and control plan has adjusted the quarantine period for close contacts and incoming people from "14-day centralized medical observation + 7-day home health monitoring" to "7-day centralized medical observation + 3-day home health monitoring". does not mean "loose" of prevention and control measures in , but the further optimization of prevention and control measures in accordance with the popular characteristics of the Omikerong mutant strain is by no means relaxing prevention and control, and will not increase the risk of epidemic transmission. It is a reflection of precise prevention and control. has higher requirements, requiring more standardization, more accurate and faster. The key to epidemic prevention and control is to control the key risks that should be controlled by , implement what should be implemented in place, and cancel , adhere to the general strategy of "preventing imports from outside and preventing rebound from inside" and the general policy of "dynamic zeroing" unswervingly, further improve the scientificity and accuracy of epidemic prevention and control, make full use of resources, improve prevention and control efficiency, and coordinate epidemic prevention and control with economic and social development. The Comprehensive Group of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism will send a working group to supervise the implementation of localities .

At present, the full text interpretation document of the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan has been posted on the official website of the National Health Commission for download and viewing.

At this time point, the new version of the prevention and control plan was announced, and there are three aspects to consider

1 is the change in the epidemic situation of . At present, the new crown epidemic continues to spread around the world. Since the beginning of this year, the frequency of local epidemics in the country has increased significantly, and the epidemic has spread to a wide range of regions, especially on , the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta region, as well as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and border port cities. my country is facing increasing pressure to "prevent imports from outside and rebound from inside", and the prevention and control situation is more severe and complex. In the past month, the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control in my country has been stable and improving . The number of positive infections has continued to decline, and the number of areas with epidemics has also decreased, creating a window period for optimizing and adjusting the prevention and control plan.

2 is the characteristics of virus mutation . The Omickron mutant strain has become an advantageous epidemic strain for imported and local epidemics in my country. The study found that the average incubation period of Omickron mutant strain was shortened, mostly 2-4 days, and most of them could detect within 7 days.

is the research on the early pilot of . According to the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the Comprehensive Group of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism conducted a one-month pilot research on the optimization of the prevention and control measures of the new crown epidemic prevention and control measures in seven cities including Dalian, Suzhou , Ningbo , Xiamen , Qingdao , Guangzhou and Chengdu between April and May, and obtained a large amount of scientific basis. At the same time, in combination with the prevention and control practices in various places, especially the experiences and lessons learned from large-scale epidemic handling in Shanghai, Jilin and other places, the prevention and control plan was revised in reference to the guidelines released by the WHO in the first half of the year.

Encryption nucleic acid testing frequency for risk occupations

The ninth edition prevention and control plan On the basis of the previous normal monitoring, encrypts nucleic acid testing frequency for risk occupations . For people who are directly in contact with inbound personnel, items, and the environment (such as cross-border transportation drivers, cleaning, maintenance personnel, port import items transporters, front-line personnel who are directly in contact with inbound personnel and items in customs and immigration management departments), staff in centralized isolation facilities, medical staff in designated medical institutions and fever clinics of ordinary medical institutions, etc. conducts nucleic acid testing once a day. nucleic acid tests are carried out twice a week for employees with dense staff, frequent contacts and strong mobility (such as express delivery, takeaway, hotel services, decoration and unloading services, transportation services, shopping malls, supermarkets and agricultural market staff, etc.), as well as staff members of other departments in general medical institutions except fever clinics. After the local epidemic occurs, the frequency of nucleic acid testing will be increased according to the risk of the epidemic spread.

encountered the problem of "increasing the amount of money" in epidemic prevention and control. After these channels reflected that

"nine prohibitions" were announced, the Comprehensive Group of the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism, together with relevant member units, established a special team for to rectify the problem of "increasing the amount of money" . This special team consists of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs , the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Health Commission, the General Administration of Customs , the State Administration of Market Supervision, the State Post Bureau and other departments. This constituent department may also add relevant member units according to the needs of the situation. The special team mainly focuses on to rectify prominent problems such as simplification of epidemic prevention and control, "one-size-fits-all" and "adding layer by layer" . Guide local governments to implement epidemic prevention and control policies and urge strict implementation of the requirements of "nine prohibitions" in epidemic prevention and control. After preliminary preparations, the member units of the special team have set up a column on "increasing layer by layer" through the portal of their department or published the complaint telephone number . They have collected clues of problem violations of the "Nine Prohibitions" requirements from the public. The public can make complaints through the website or call.

The comprehensive group of the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism has opened a public message board, which is located on the homepage of the official website of the National Health Commission. The clues of the violation of the “Nine Non-Accuracies” will be carefully summarized and sorted out, and local governments will urge them to rectify them as soon as possible, and typical cases will be exposed.

The comprehensive group of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism’s special team and member units will carefully accept and verify the “hierarchical increase” problems reported by the masses.

In order to efficiently solve the problem of "increasing the amount of money" reflected by the people in various places, the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism also requires that the joint prevention and control mechanism at each provincial level be compared with the structure of the comprehensive group of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism, and set up a provincial-level special team to rectify the problem of "increasing the amount of money" at the problem. At the same time, it is required that all provincial joint prevention and control mechanisms set up an effective channel for the simplification of epidemic prevention and control, "one-size-fits-all" and "adding layer by layer" problems such as simplification of epidemic prevention and control in their provinces, and promptly announce it to the public to collect and verify clues related to the complaints and reports of the people in their provinces.

Omickron BA.2 is still the main strain of the epidemic in my country, but we must be highly vigilant about the imported transmission of Omickron BA.4 and BA.5 from abroad, because BA.4 and BA.5 have been found in recent imported cases, and there are still signs of increasing. - DayDayNews
