Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission responded to
Yangzhou has been in single digits for three consecutive days, and Nanjing has not had new local confirmed cases for five consecutive days. , which has been suspended for nearly one month, will also restart domestic flights.
Does this mean that this round of epidemic in Jiangsu is coming to an end?
htmlOn August 18, Zhou Minghao, deputy director of the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission, introduced in the "News 1+1" program that the number of new cases in Yangzhou has been in single digits in the past three days, indicating that the epidemic has been effectively controlled. The overall epidemic trend of is stable and improving, but it cannot be improved yet. The epidemic prevention and control is still in a critical stage. If is strictly implemented, there are prevention and control strategies and measures, the epidemic is expected to be fully controlled in the near future. According to the current epidemic situation analysis, it is unlikely that a large-scale clustered epidemic will occur in again.
Yangzhou is more difficult to prevent than Nanjing
There are three reasons
Zhou Minghao introduced that Yangzhou has a wider range of dissemination and is more difficult to prevent than Nanjing. There are three main reasons:
first, the first case. Nanjing is in the suburbs and Yangzhou is in the main urban area, with a lot of personnel exchanges;
second, personnel tracking and investigation. The epidemic in Nanjing occurred at the airport, and people are easy to track. The epidemic in Yangzhou first occurred in the chess and card room. The staff was complicated and there were more elderly people, which increased the difficulty of investigation;
, third, community transmission. After investigation, you can see that the entire epidemic community is spreading, Nanjing is small and Yangzhou is relatively large.
Yangzhou cancels the ban on the community outing license
requires "no building left"
data is declining, but control is upgrading.
In the past three days, Yangzhou has dropped to single digits daily new confirmed cases, but the community control in the main urban area has been upgraded for the sixth time. On August 17, Yangzhou issued a notice that all residents (villages) in the blocked communities in 's main urban area "can't leave the buildings (natural villages, alleys).
Zhou Minghao explained that the main purpose of upgrading 's control measures is to end the epidemic as soon as possible and completely win the blocking battle of this epidemic. "We also made adjustments based on the identification of epidemic risks and adopted optimization strategies. This is to calm down the entire city as soon as possible, prevent large-scale gatherings and movements of people, prevent the further spread and spread of the epidemic in the community, and enable the people to restore normal production and living order as soon as possible. ”
