Today (November 17), the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference. Relevant responsible persons from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Health Commission, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention and relevant experts introduced the relevant situation of implementing epidemic prevention and control optimization measures without fail, scientifically and accurately, and answered questions from media.

Resolutely oppose two tendencies and continue to rectify "increase the amount at all levels"

Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health Commission and deputy director of the Publicity Department, introduced that we must unswervingly adhere to the people first and life first, implement the general strategy of "preventing imports from outside and preventing rebound from inside" and the general policy of "dynamic zeroing", fully, comprehensively and accurately understand and grasp the deployment measures for optimizing prevention and control work, and resolutely oppose the two tendencies. We must continue to rectify "increase the amount at all levels" and prevent "should it be sealed"; we must also oppose irresponsible attitudes, prevent "let it go", ensure the implementation of twenty measures without fail, and ensure the safety of life and health of the people.

In the future, clustered epidemics in China will occur. Only close contacts need to be centralized quarantined

Deputy Director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, Director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Shen Hongbing introduced that in the future, clustered epidemics in China will occur. Only close contacts need to be centralized quarantined , timely and accurately determine and control close contacts , which can reduce the risk of epidemic caused by close contacts. The cancellation of the judgment and management of close contacts is a more scientific and precise prevention and control measure based on the degree of infection risk.

It should be emphasized that while canceling the close contact judgment for close contacts, localities should make quick judgments, quick testing and quick control of close contacts. Once the nucleic acid test of close contacts is positive, further investigation and control of close contacts will be carried out as soon as possible, one step closely. Therefore, the requirements for prevention and control measures have not only not been relaxed, but have become higher.

html Infants and young children under 53 years old can be exempted from checking the negative nucleic acid test certificate

Shen Hongbing, deputy director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, introduced that in terms of checking nucleic acid test certificates in public places, in order to effectively prevent the spread of the epidemic, cross-regional mobile personnel take flights, high-speed rail, train, cross-provincial long-distance passenger vehicles, cross-provincial passenger ships and other means of transportation with negative nucleic acid test certificates within 48 hours. After arriving at the destination, they must conduct "land inspection" in accordance with local requirements. People staying in hotels and tourist attractions need to check their health codes and negative nucleic acid test certificates within 72 hours. html Special groups such as infants and young children under the age of 73 can be exempted from checking the negative nucleic acid test certificate.

The ninth edition of the prevention and control plan clearly defines ten specific control measures for high-risk areas

Researcher of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention Department, Wang Liping, introduced that in order to reduce unnecessary area and personnel control as much as possible, and to carry out epidemic prevention and control more scientifically and accurately, the demarcation of medium-risk areas has been abolished in the twenty optimization measures, and make full use of existing epidemic prevention resources to improve prevention and control efficiency. At the same time, this also puts forward higher standards for epidemic response work in various places. , , risk analysis and other work should be more accurate and efficient, and key risks that should be controlled should be controlled should be implemented, and those that should be cancelled should be resolutely cancelled. All localities need to constantly summarize epidemic prevention and control practices, accumulate more experience in handling the epidemic, and constantly explore and innovate in rapid response to the epidemic.

high-risk areas are subject to lockdown measures, during which "door-to-door service" is implemented except for nucleic acid testing . For those who have not yet been transferred, those who have positive antigen tests, those who are subject to review with positive nucleic acid mixed tubes, patients with reduced mobility and elderly people, special personnel should be taken to the door for sampling and single-study and single-checking. Three consecutive tests were carried out 3 days before the implementation of the blockade, two full-staff nucleic acid tests were completed on the first and third days, and antigen tests were carried out on the second day. The frequency of subsequent tests can be determined based on the test results; within 24 hours before the lifting of control, a full-staff nucleic acid test should be completed in the region.

The ninth edition of the prevention and control plan clearly defines ten specific control measures in high-risk areas, such as publicity and guidance, closely monitor and promptly respond to residents' demands, and jointly create a good prevention and control atmosphere; personnel survey, timely grasp the situation of elderly people living alone, minors, pregnant women, disabled people, people with mobility difficulties, patients with hemodialysis, patients with mental illness, patients with chronic diseases, and other personnel; daily necessities and medical insurance, promote the establishment of a docking mechanism between the community and specialized medical institutions, and provide medical convenience for the above-mentioned personnel; and psychological care, and provide professional services to residents' health guidance, psychological counseling, emotional comfort and other needs.

Local cultural and tourism departments should carry out "ground inspection" for cross-provincial mobile personnel

Deputy Director of the Market Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism Li Xiaoyong introduced that the Ministry issued the "Notice on Further Optimizing the Prevention and Control Measures for the Prevention and Control of the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic and Scientific and Accurate Prevention and Control of the Cultural and Tourism Industry" mainly optimizes the epidemic prevention and control measures in the cultural and tourism industry from four aspects: First, for tourism activity management, cross-provincial tourism policies have been optimized, and according to the latest risk zone demarcation management measures, cross-provincial tourism business activities will no longer be implemented in linkage management with risk zones. Second, for the management of cultural activities, nucleic acid testing and inspection measures have been optimized for public cultural venues, social art level grading activities, and gathering cultural activities. Third, for personnel management, the nucleic acid testing requirements for industry practitioners have been adjusted, and nucleic acid testing must be carried out in accordance with local epidemic prevention and control requirements. Fourth, we will increase efforts to rectify problems with "one size fits all" and increase the intensity of rectification of problems at all levels, and require local cultural and tourism departments to strictly implement the national unified prevention and control policies.

While optimizing prevention and control measures, the "Notice" also puts forward clear requirements for scientific and accurate industry prevention and control work: First, requires local cultural and tourism departments to carry out "ground inspection" requirements for cross-provincial mobile personnel , and actively guide cross-provincial tourists to actively conduct nucleic acid testing. Second, public cultural units, cultural and tourism business units are required to implement the requirements of "limited quantity, reservation, and staggered peak", and implement epidemic prevention and control measures such as scanning codes, temperature measurement, and nucleic acid verification. A-level tourist attractions and star-rated tourist hotels must continue to check the health codes and nucleic acid certificates for people entering scenic spots and staying in hotels. Third, public cultural units, cultural and tourism operating units are required to strengthen employee health monitoring and management. Strictly implement the health code inspection and verification of employees before taking up the job, and resolutely prevent them from taking up the job while sick. Strengthen education and training for employees and improve employees' awareness and ability to prevent scientific prevention.

formulates a classification and classification diagnosis and treatment plan for new coronary pneumonia

Guo Yanhong, Director of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health Commission, introduced that since the outbreak of the epidemic, the first thing to do is to continue to strengthen the construction of designated hospitals. All localities are required to designate hospitals with strong comprehensive capabilities and high treatment levels as designated hospitals for COVID-19 treatment, and reserve sufficient treatment beds, especially severe treatment beds. The second is to vigorously promote the construction of square hospital . All localities should follow the principle of combining peace and emergency and prioritizing emergency response, and rely on some existing large venues to ensure that once an epidemic occurs, the temporary hospital can be quickly opened to treat mild patients and asymptomatic infections of . The third is to strengthen the construction of fever clinics and and fever clinics in medical institutions. Fever clinics and fever clinics are important places for social cases to be discovered. Therefore, medical institutions set up fever clinics or fever clinics in accordance with relevant regulations, and ensure that all should be set up and all should be opened. Strictly implement the first-diagnosis responsibility system , and identify suspicious patients as soon as possible. Once positive appears, immediately transfer to designated hospitals or temporary hospitals, so as to achieve "early detection, early diagnosis, early reporting, and early treatment."

1 On November 11, the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism announced 20 measures to further optimize the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Among them, one of the important ones is to "strengthen the construction of medical resources". This is a specific requirement put forward in light of the current epidemic prevention and control, in order to deal with the epidemic better, faster and more efficiently; it is also an important measure to better coordinate epidemic prevention and control and normal medical service guarantees, further strengthen weaknesses, make up for shortcomings, and insist on improving the quality of medical services.When will the

Fubitai vaccine be used by the Chinese people? Official response to a reporter from

Bloomberg News Agency : The first question of is that when China has adjusted relevant measures, such as the nucleic acid and control measures for all employees have been adjusted, and the number of confirmed cases across the country has surged. How can we maintain " dynamically clear "? Do you think this is acceptable? The second question is that I heard that German Chancellor Scholz reached an agreement with President Xi Jinping during his visit to China and would release the vaccine of the Fubitai mRNA for vaccination by Chinese people and foreign people coming to China. Is there such a statement? When will the Fubitai vaccine be used by Chinese people? Thanks.

Shen Hongbing: OK, thank you for your question. In response to the first issue, on November 11, the 20 optimization measures issued by the Comprehensive Group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council are supplemented and improved to the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan. They are not relaxation, nor are they relaxed or “letting down”, but to further improve the scientificity and accuracy of prevention and control, and to maximize the protection of people’s lives and health, and to minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development. In general, we must implement the requirements of "the epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe", so as to prevent the epidemic, and minimize the impact on economic and social development and people's livelihood service guarantee as much as possible.

In response to the second question, when choosing vaccination, factors such as safety, effectiveness, accessibility and affordability need to be comprehensively considered, and the principles of following laws and regulations and respecting science are adhered to. At present, relevant departments are formulating plans to accelerate the promotion of new coronavirus vaccination. After the plan is determined, the relevant situation will be released to the public in a timely manner. Thanks.
