Liu Jianguo said that among the 28 asymptomatic infections, 8 cases were reported at centralized isolation points, 13 cases were screened in high-risk areas, and 7 cases were screened in closed-loop management personnel. "The number of infected people reported in the whole region has increased, mainly distributed in several areas with severe epidemics in the past. This is a normal phenomenon in the development of the epidemic, which is mainly related to the following factors: First, in recent times, various places have further increased the intensity of nucleic acid screening based on the actual situation of high-risk areas, and continuously adjusted and optimized detection strategies, so that some infected people hidden in high-risk areas have been discovered in a timely manner. Second, the close contacts and other high-risk personnel transferred to centralized isolation points have been successively detected."
Liu Jianguo said: "Recently, all parts of our region have been gradually lifted the 'static management', and in accordance with the requirements of the Ninth Edition of the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism, normal production and living order has been restored in an orderly manner. With the recovery of personnel flow, the risk of epidemic transmission and spread will also increase, and some areas may also rebound in the epidemic."
Liu Jianguo said that the "static management" measures have effectively curbed the rapid spread of the epidemic. He said that due to the strong contagiousness of the new coronavirus mutant strain of this epidemic, it is very difficult to achieve dynamic zeroing in social areas. The "static management" in some areas has lasted for a long time. Ili Prefecture has lasted for nearly 60 days, and some areas of Urumqi, Bazhou and Turpan have also lasted for nearly 50 days, causing great inconvenience to the normal production and life of people of all ethnic groups.
Liu Jianguo also said that the prominent feature of this round of epidemic is that it spreads quickly and occurs in a cluster. "We have analyzed 5481 infections in statistics, of which 73 clustered epidemics were reported in places, 2,609, accounting for 47.6%; 773 clustered epidemics were reported in families, 2,081, accounting for 38.1%, accounting for more than 85%. "
"At present, the epidemic situation in many provinces and regions in China has rebounded, and the epidemic risks in some areas in the region have not been completely eliminated. We are still facing the pressure of the epidemic import and rebound." Liu Jianguo pointed out that as static management is gradually lifted in various parts of Xinjiang, low-risk areas will restore normal production and living order in an orderly manner, and business places such as catering and supermarkets will also resume normal business. The movement of people and the recovery of normal social order will increase the risk of epidemic transmission, and we still need to be vigilant.
As of 21:30 on September 29, Xinjiang has 1 local confirmed case; there are 208 local asymptomatic infections. (End)
