According to Chen Zhijian, deputy chief physician of the Ningde Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Ningde is currently divided into low, medium and high-risk areas, and classified management measures are implemented in medium- and high-risk areas. High-risk areas will implement lockdown measures, and during this period, "stay at home and provide door-to-door services"; medium-risk areas will implement control measures, and "people will not leave the area and pick up items at staggered peak times"; low-risk areas will implement "personal protection and avoid gatherings" . The general public must strictly abide by various control measures in low, medium and high risk areas. Here, we would like to remind the general public that low risk does not mean no risk, especially since there are still positive cases in Xiapu at present, and the epidemic has a certain risk of social transmission . The general public in low-risk areas should take further steps. Enhance personal protection awareness, implement personal protection responsibilities, cooperate with personnel management, health monitoring, nucleic acid testing, flow traceability, personnel transfer, etc., reduce going out, avoid gatherings, maintain social distance, and do a good job in personal protection.
