The Information Office of the Xi'an Municipal Government is scheduled to hold a press conference (the 77th session) on the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Xi'an at 5 pm on August 16 (Tuesday) in the press conference hall of the municipal government. Relevant responsible comrades from the Municipal Health Commission, Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention are invited to participate and report relevant situations.
It was reported at the meeting that on August 15, 2022, there were 2 new confirmed cases in Xi'an (41 cases in Beilin District and 41 cases in Yanta District), both of which were discovered through community screening.
Local confirmed case 1: Male, 58 years old. During the community screening on August 15, the results of the nucleic acid test and the mixed test were abnormal, and he was subsequently quarantined. The apheresis test result was positive, and the city-level expert group diagnosed it as a confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia (common type).
Local confirmed case 2: Female, 88 years old, is a close contact of local confirmed case 1. On August 15, the mixed nucleic acid test results were abnormal during community screening, and she was subsequently quarantined. The apheresis test result was positive, and the city-level expert group diagnosed it as a confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia (common type).
After the outbreak, the city's epidemic prevention and control system quickly launched emergency response, strictly implemented the "Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan (Ninth Edition)", and adhered to "quick control", "control first and then screen, control while screening" Strategy, quickly carry out flow investigation and traceability, investigation and control, nucleic acid testing, medical treatment and other work, and strive to cut off the virus transmission chain and curb the spread of the epidemic in the shortest possible time.
First, carry out in-depth and detailed tracing of the source of the epidemic. As of 12:00 on August 16, Xi'an City has investigated 1,378 people in close contact and 3,090 people in close contact. All of them have been isolated and controlled as soon as possible. Other risk personnel are under investigation and control. Risk personnel who have left Xi'an City have been sent for investigation. information. A total of 49 key places (264,100 square meters) were disinfected across the city.
The second is to immediately implement risk area management. Three areas, No. 250, Chang'an South Road, Changyanbao Street, Yanta District, No. 334, Youyi East Road, Youyi Community, Wenyi Road Street, Beilin District, and No. 4, Surveying and Mapping Road, Youyi Community, Wenyi Road Street, Beilin District, are designated as high-risk areas. Yanta District and Beilin District, except for high-risk areas, are low-risk areas. Specific:
According to the requirements of scientific division, precise control and other requirements of the "Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan (Ninth Edition)", and based on the analysis and judgment of the epidemic situation by city and district (county) experts, the Xi'an New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters made a research decision. : From 17:00 on August 16, 2022 , the following adjustments have been made to Xi'an's new coronavirus epidemic prevention and control risk areas:
High-risk areas: Community No. 250, Chang'an South Road, Changyanbao Street, Yanta District; No. 334, Youyi East Road, Youyi Community, Wenyi Road Street, Beilin District; Beilin District No. 4, Surveying and Mapping Road, Youyi Community, Wenyi Road Subdistrict.
After the adjustment, there are 3 high-risk areas in Xi'an City. In addition to the high-risk areas, 2 districts including Yanta District and Beilin District in Xi'an City are low-risk areas.
The third is to quickly carry out nucleic acid testing. According to the epidemic risk situation, we immediately organized forces to carry out multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing in risk areas and key areas. As of 12:00 on August 16, the city had carried out three rounds of large-scale nucleic acid testing, with a total of 30.3336 million samples taken. The nucleic acid testing strategy will be adjusted in a timely manner based on the test results.
At present, all prevention and control work is being carried out at full strength. We hope that the general public will not panic, do not believe or spread rumors, do not gather or have gatherings unless necessary, have fewer dinner parties, enhance personal protection awareness, implement various protective measures, and cooperate with others. Do a good job in epidemic prevention and control.
Question Session
Question 1: Recently, epidemics have occurred in many places, many of which are popular tourist cities. For people coming and going from Xi'an in these areas, how to further strengthen the investigation and epidemic prevention management of relevant personnel?
Answer: In accordance with the "New Crown Pneumonia Prevention and Control" "Plan (Ninth Edition)" requires that Xi'an City conducts strict inspections on people returning from or passing through high, medium and low risk areas of the domestic epidemic according to the regional epidemic risk level, and implements corresponding control measures and nucleic acid testing.
For those who have traveled to high-risk areas in the past 7 days, they will be subject to "7-day centralized isolation medical observation" and corresponding frequency of nucleic acid testing after arriving in the city.
For those who have traveled to medium-risk areas in the past 7 days, "7-day home isolation medical observation" and corresponding frequency of nucleic acid testing will be implemented after arriving in the city; if the conditions for home isolation medical observation are not met, centralized isolation medical observation will be adopted.
For those who have traveled to low-risk areas in the past 7 days, they should complete 2 nucleic acid tests within 3 days after arriving in the city and conduct health monitoring.
At the same time, all returnees from outside the province are reminded to report in advance through the "Pre-fill report for coming (returning) to Shaanxi" module in the "Shaanxi One Code Pass" or the "Return to Security Report" WeChat applet, and proactively report to the destination community ( Villages, hotels) and units should report.
would like to remind people returning to popular tourist destinations to fulfill their epidemic prevention responsibilities. If they receive inquiries about the flow of epidemic prevention personnel, they must truthfully provide their personal activity tracks; if they receive relevant health reminder text messages, they must actively cooperate and implement them according to the text messages. Relevant epidemic prevention measures.
Question 2: What are the characteristics of the current epidemic in Xi'an? In view of the current epidemic prevention and control situation, what matters should Xi'an citizens pay attention to in epidemic prevention and control?
Answer: From 0:00 on August 11 to 24:00 on August 14, Xi'an City found a total of 5 cases imported from outside the province and 1 case related to imported cases from outside the province during the on-site nucleic acid testing of people returning to Shaanxi from outside the province. and genetic sequencing, all related to the recent epidemic in other provinces.
html From 00:00 to 24:00 on August 15, Xi'an City discovered 2 local confirmed cases through nucleic acid screening. They were related to mother and child. The local confirmed case 1 went on a business trip to cities inside and outside the province from August 10 to 12. After whole-virus gene sequencing, confirmed case 1 is the BA.5.1.3 evolutionary branch of the Omicron variant, which belongs to a different transmission chain from the recent imported epidemic. The source of infection of these two infected persons is still unclear, and there is a certain risk of social transmission. The possibility of subsequent positive cases cannot be ruled out.At present, the domestic epidemic prevention and control situation is severe and complex. Domestic local epidemics are spreading at multiple points and occur frequently in many places. Epidemics have appeared in many popular tourist areas, involving airports, flights, trains, self-driving and other transportation modes, and have spread to many provinces. City spillover caused continued epidemics. Xi'an's external defense input pressure continues to increase. In this regard, we hope that the general public will pay attention to the following matters:
First, pay attention to travel safety. Do not travel to medium- and high-risk areas or areas and counties (districts) where there are newly confirmed cases unless necessary. Have a history of local positive infection or travel history to counties (cities, districts, banners) located in medium- and high-risk areas within 7 days, especially Tibet Autonomous Region, Sanya City, Hainan Province, Ledong County, Wanning City, Xinjiang Yili Prefecture, Urumqi, Changjizhou, Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, Fujian Persons coming (or returning) to Xi'an from Xiamen and other places where the epidemic has occurred must report to the destination community (community) and village in advance, and complete the information registration in advance on the "Shaanxi One Code Pass" or "Return to Anhui" WeChat applet ( Pre-fill in basic information, epidemic prevention information, traffic information, etc.), implement various prevention and control measures, and do not conceal or lie about your personal itinerary and health status. All units must strictly implement their main responsibilities, comprehensively investigate employees’ travel history in epidemic-related areas, report in a timely manner, and actively cooperate in the implementation of health management measures.
The second is to pay attention to personal protection. Among the cases that have been discovered, the activity trajectories of many cases involve restaurants, supermarkets, online ride-hailing and other places where people gather and the environment is closed. Citizens and friends are asked to remember the "three pieces of epidemic prevention" (wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, and personal hygiene) and the "five musts of protection" (wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, covering coughs and sneezes, and keeping hands frequently). Wash and open windows as much as possible). In particular, scientific and standardized wearing of masks is still one of the most effective prevention and control measures. Please try to reduce unnecessary gatherings and gatherings and avoid contact and transmission risks as much as possible.
The third is to pay attention to the epidemic situation. We release information on the activity trajectory of new local cases in Xi'an every day through the Xi'an Release, the Xi'an Disease Control WeChat official account and other various media. Citizens are asked to pay close attention. Those who have recently traveled to epidemic-affected areas, have intersected with the trajectory of positive cases, received reminder text messages, or whose health code has changed to "red code" or "yellow code" should take the initiative to report to their units, communities and hotels, and actively Cooperate with the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures and do a good job in personal epidemic protection.
The fourth is to do a good job in health monitoring. Pay close attention to the health status of yourself and your family. When symptoms such as fever, cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, myalgia, diarrhea and other symptoms occur, you must promptly go to a medical institution with a fever clinic while taking personal protection. See a doctor, and proactively inform them of your travel and contact history. Wear a mask during the whole process and avoid taking public transportation.
The fifth is active nucleic acid testing. The spread of the Omicron strain is insidious, so we carry out nucleic acid testing in other potentially risky areas in addition to the risk points identified through flow surveys, in order to detect infection cases earlier and identify hidden risks. Citizens and friends should actively participate in nucleic acid testing. If you find that you and your family members are at risk of exposure at the same time and space, you should take the initiative to undergo nucleic acid testing.
Baoji announced the activity track of asymptomatic infected persons imported from other provinces:
Asymptomatic infected person 1: Male, 42 years old. When passing through Shaanxi by train on August 13, he received a joint investigation from other provinces and immediately followed the requirements of epidemic prevention and control. After getting off the bus in Baoji, they were put under control as soon as possible, and were transferred to an isolation hotel for centralized isolation in a point-to-point closed-loop manner. During the centralized isolation period, the nucleic acid test result was positive. The medical expert team diagnosed him as an asymptomatic infection and is currently being treated in isolation at a designated medical institution.
Activity track of new cases in Xi'an:
html From 0-24:00 on August 15, Xi'an has 4 new locally confirmed cases, 2 of which are asymptomatic infected persons 2 and asymptomatic infected persons 4 confirmed cases announced on August 15 , are imported cases from outside the province (the trajectory was announced yesterday).
