China.com September 30th News At present, the epidemic situation in my country is still complex and severe. The National Day holiday is approaching, and the flow of people is frequent. The risk of clustered epidemics and cross-regional epidemics has also increased. On September 30, The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference to introduce the relevant situation of epidemic prevention and control during the National Day. In addition, The China Meteorological Administration and local disease control departments have issued holiday travel tips to ensure that the public has a healthy and happy National Day holiday.

The National Day holiday is free of expressway tolls for small passenger cars below 7 seats (including 7 seats)

The National Day holiday is the peak period for people to participate in cultural activities and travel. Han Jinghua, deputy director of the Transportation Service Department of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that small passenger cars below 7 seats (including 7 seats) will be exempted from tolls for small passenger cars below 7 seats (including 7 seats). Free access to highways shall be subject to the time when the vehicle leaves the exit toll lane, that is, vehicles who drive from the expressway exit between 0:00 on October 1 and 24:00 on October 7 can enjoy the free policy.

Han Jinghua said that during the 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 of small passenger cars and surrounding tours is relatively high. Local congestion will occur during peak hours of road networks around large and medium-sized cities.

html Starting from 16:00 on September 30, the traffic of the road network began to increase, and a small peak of departure before the festival occurred from 20 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.

In addition, the traffic flow of expressways in urban agglomerations has decreased during this year's National Day holiday. The traffic flow of expressways in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, , Yangtze River Delta , , Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, , 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 traffic and road network operating pressure of highways around large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Suzhou, , Wuhan, and Changsha is relatively high.

"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." Han Jinghua said.

suspends the operation of intra- and high-risk areas team tourism and "air ticket + hotel" business

Deputy Director of the Market Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism Li Xiaoyong said that in order to implement epidemic prevention and control tasks and build a solid line of defense against epidemic prevention and control, during the National Day, travel agencies and online travel companies are not allowed to operate inbound and outbound team tourism and "air ticket + hotel" business, and suspends the operation of team tourism and "air ticket + hotel" business in counties (cities, districts, banners) and districts (counties) in medium- and high-risk areas, and suspends the operation of urban team tourism at land border ports. Reasonably control the scale of tourism teams, do not organize large-scale tourism teams, and strictly control the passenger rate of tourist chartered vehicles.

Public cultural venues 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. Star-rated tourist hotels and graded tourist B&Bs should be strengthened for ventilation and disinfection, and the frequency of disinfection should be reasonably arranged. A-level tourist attractions strictly implement the requirements of "limited quantity, reservation, and staggered peaks" and scan the code to measure the temperature for all visitors entering the park.

Li Xiaoyong emphasized that cultural and tourism business units should 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 checks and verifications before taking 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 analysis, localities 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.

"Before traveling during the National Day holiday, you must 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 the local government and relevant departments, and do not travel to medium and high-risk areas in China. Tourists who travel by self-driving and free traveling actively undergo nucleic acid testing and cooperate with scanning the code to measure temperature. When symptoms such as colds and fever occur, they should stop visiting immediately and seek medical treatment in a timely manner." Li Xiaoyong said.

Heavy rainfall in northern Sichuan, southern Shaanxi, southern North China and other places

Weather is also an important factor affecting public travel. According to the China Meteorological Administration, during the National Day holiday (October 1-7), there will be heavy rainfall in northern Sichuan, southern Shaanxi, southern North China, and the Huanghuai area; there will be more high temperatures and less rainy weather in Jiangnan and northern South China; strong cold air will affect most of my country; there will be fog in the Huanghuai area in North China.

html From 11 to 3rd, there will be moderate to heavy rain in northern Sichuan, central and southern Shaanxi, southern North China, Huanghuai and other places, and there will be heavy rain in some areas, and there will be heavy rain in some areas, and there will be strong convective weather such as short-term heavy rainfall and thunder. From 4th to 6th, there will be moderate to heavy rain in northeastern Sichuan, northern Chongqing, southern Shaanxi, central and southern Henan, northern Hubei and other places, and there will be heavy rain in some areas. From early morning to morning from 11 to 3, light fog will occur in some areas of central and southern North China, central and western Huanghuai, southern Sichuan Basin, and heavy fog with visibility of less than 1,000 meters in some areas.

htmlOn the 11th to 4th, high temperatures will occur in Jianghan , Jianghuai, Jiangnan, and northern South China. The daily maximum temperature is generally 35-37℃, and some 38-39℃.

htmlOn the 11th to 6th, northerly winds will occur from north to south in most parts of my country, with gusts of 8-10, and the temperature will drop by 8-12℃. In some areas, the cooling will drop by 14-16℃, and locally exceeding 18℃.

Optimize the management methods of school entry and exit to prevent "increase layer by layer" and "should it be sealed"

The National Day holiday is approaching, the flow of social personnel has increased, and the difficulty of campus epidemic prevention is increasing. Liu Peijun, deputy director of the Department of Sports, Health and Arts of the Ministry of Education, and first-level inspector, said that schools should not only prevent the risks of epidemics brought about 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.

"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, check the code, measure the temperature, wear masks scientifically, strictly control the entry of irrelevant personnel into 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 such as going out for medical treatment and doing business, and prevent the "over-prevention and control" from being increased layer by layer, and especially prevent the simple practice of "one stamp"." Liu Peijun said.

In addition, schools should optimize the management methods of school entrance and exit according to the epidemic situation and changes in prevention and control policies in their location. 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.

Liu Peijun also emphasized that it is necessary to improve the level of campus life service, ensure the supply of daily necessities and epidemic prevention materials, and the normal opening of supermarkets, bathrooms, canteens, activity centers and other places on campus will resolutely stop random price increases and disguised price increases, and 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. Dynamic, timely and comprehensively understand the various needs of teachers and students, and communicate and resolve relevant matters of concern in a timely manner.

The epidemic prevention and control situation is complex and severe. Many places advocate spending holidays locally and taking holidays

, Lei Zhenglong, director of the Department of Defense of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention and first-level inspector, said that as the National Day holiday approaches, the flow of people to visit relatives and travel increases. In addition, the characteristics of Omickron mutant strain are hiding and strong transmission ability, my country is still facing the risk of imported epidemics from abroad and the spread of local epidemics, and the risk of clustered epidemics in many places still exists. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone try to celebrate the festival locally, reduce travel across cities and cities, and avoid the risk of epidemic transmission caused by large-scale movement of people.

In addition, local disease control departments and other departments have also issued holiday travel tips, advocating for holidays at home.

htmlOn September 29, Beijing added 1 new local positive case of COVID-19, which was found during the screening of people entering and returning to Beijing. Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention advocates citizens to celebrate the festival locally and reduce their departure from Beijing. We insist on not traveling to medium- and high-risk areas and counties (cities, districts, and banners) where local epidemics occur within 7 days. People entering and returning to Beijing need to hold a negative nucleic acid certificate within 48 hours and a green code of " Beijing Health Code " to complete a nucleic acid test within 24 hours, and complete the second nucleic acid test within 24 hours after a break. They will not have dinner, parties, or go to crowded places within 7 days, and do not visit relatives and friends. The negative nucleic acid test result will be reduced before it comes out.

htmlOn September 29, the Tianjin Municipal Disease Control Department reported 72 new local positive infections . As of 8:00 on September 30, 2022, there were 23 low-risk areas, 37 medium-risk areas, and 47 high-risk areas. Gu Qing, deputy secretary-general of the Tianjin Municipal Government and director of the Municipal Health Commission, said at a press conference on epidemic prevention and control in Tianjin recently that during the National Day, citizens are encouraged to celebrate the festival locally and "not leave Tianjin unless necessary", avoid going to high/medium/low risk areas, static management areas, areas where new coronavirus infections are added within 7 days and their counties (cities, districts, and banners) and not to go to cities where the above-mentioned areas are located and land border port cities unless necessary. When returning to Tianjin, the requirements for negative nucleic acid certificate inspection 48 hours before arriving in Tianjin and the requirements for "ground inspection" within 24 hours after arriving in Tianjin should be implemented.

htmlOn September 29, Shenzhen added 27 new local positive cases, with activity trajectories involving restaurants, barber shops, fresh food supermarkets, etc. The Shenzhen Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a document saying that the current epidemic prevention and control situation is still severe, and it is advisable for citizens to choose to celebrate the festival locally, avoid going to counties (cities, districts) where medium and high-risk areas are located, and not to go to cities where medium and high-risk areas are located unless necessary. If it is really necessary to leave deep, you must hold a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate when leaving deep. People coming to Shenzhen who have a history of traveling in high-risk areas within 7 days will be subject to 7 days of centralized quarantine medical observation; people coming to Shenzhen who have a history of traveling in medium-risk areas within 7 days will be subject to 7 days of home quarantine medical observation (if the conditions are not met, centralized quarantine medical observation will be adopted); people coming to Shenzhen who have a history of traveling in low-risk areas within 7 days will be required to undergo 2 nucleic acid tests within 3 days after arriving in Shenzhen.
