November 17, the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on “perfect and scientific and accurate implementation of epidemic prevention and control optimization measures.”
A reporter asked a question, saying that some people questioned whether it is necessary to implement the "ground inspection"? Is it contrary to the requirements for the national mutual recognition of results for nucleic acid testing? Will "ground inspection" be carried out for cross-provincial mobile personnel become normalized?
Wang Liping, a researcher at the Department of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, responded that the "ground inspection" measures are not contrary to the requirements of national mutual recognition of nucleic acid test results, but are implemented in the current situation where Omickron mutant strain caused a severe and complex epidemic in the country. Through "ground inspection", many uncertain risks such as possible infection during the journey can be effectively prevented. It is very necessary and very important for epidemic prevention and control at this stage, so it will continue to persist.

Wang Liping pointed out that since July, the epidemic has shown the characteristics of "long spots, frequent occurrences, and wide scope". Large-scale clustered epidemics have occurred in some areas, and the prevention and control situation is severe and complex. The implementation of "ground inspection" prevention and control measures is to set up nucleic acid sampling points in airports, railway stations, long-distance passenger stations, highway provincial boundary service areas, ports, etc. Under this background, nucleic acid testing services are provided to cross-provincial migrant personnel in accordance with the principle of "voluntary, free, pick-and-go, and no restriction of movement". "Operational inspection" is to further promote the forward movement of prevention and control checkpoints and strictly prevent the spread of cross-regional epidemics.
She said that since the implementation of the "ground inspection" measures, it has played an important role in timely discovering risky personnel from high-risk areas, achieving early detection of cross-regional epidemic transmission, and avoiding local related epidemics.
Wang Liping gave an example and said that if a nucleic acid sampling point is set up at the railway station of Area A, a "ground inspection" will be carried out for people returning to Area B, where the epidemic is relatively serious. Once is found to be positive for , the disease control personnel in the area A will immediately notify the person to stay at home and not go out and contact the visiting person, thereby promptly preventing the person's social activities on the same day and avoiding subsequent related clustered epidemics.
