On December 26, the National Health Commission issued the "Overall Plan on Implementing "Category B and B Control" for New Coronavirus Infections. In the "formulation background" of the document, the scientific basis for the country to follow objective laws and adjust the new coronavirus infection to "Category B and B Control" is clearly explained.
has four specific aspects. First, the general direction of the new coronavirus mutation is lower pathogenicity. "Domestic and foreign experts generally believe that the general direction of the virus mutation is lower pathogenicity, more likely to be upper respiratory tract infection , and shorter incubation period. The new coronavirus will exist in nature for a long time, its pathogenicity will be significantly reduced compared with the early stage, and the disease will gradually evolve into a common respiratory infectious disease." Second, the severe disease rate and mortality rate caused by the epidemic are extremely low. "The Omicron variant strain has become the dominant strain in the global epidemic. Although there are many people infected, asymptomatic infections and mild cases account for more than 90%, and the severe disease rate and mortality rate are extremely low." Third, the prevention and control foundation formed over three years is very solid. “my country has currently vaccinated more than 3.4 billion doses of the new coronavirus vaccine, and the full vaccination rate for people over 3 years old has exceeded 90%; progress has been made in the research and development of specific antiviral drugs at home and abroad. , my country has screened out "three medicines and three prescriptions" and other clinically effective prescriptions (i.e. Jinhua Qinggan Granules , Lianhua Qingwen Capsules /granules, Xuebijing Injection, Qingfei Paidu Decoction, Huashi Baidu Recipe, Xuanfei Baidu Recipe). Fourth, they have accumulated rich experience in prevention and control. “The majority of medical and health personnel have accumulated rich experience in epidemic prevention, control and handling, and their prevention and treatment capabilities have been significantly improved.”
It is based on the scientific judgment and regular understanding of the development of the epidemic that the country has adjusted the new coronavirus infection from "Category B A" to "Category B B". Under the new management state, isolation measures will no longer be implemented, close contacts will no longer be identified, high and low risk areas will no longer be delineated, and the testing strategy will be unified to "test as many as possible".
What deserves special attention is that in the future, quarantine infectious disease management measures will no longer be adopted for incoming personnel and goods, which mainly include: immigrants can come to China as long as their nucleic acid results are negative, they will no longer apply for a health code, and they will no longer undergo nucleic acid tests after entry , nor will they need to It is necessary to quarantine; provide visa convenience for people coming to China, and no longer regard the new coronavirus infection as an insurmountable prerequisite (come if you are negative, you are welcome to come); resume passenger entry and exit through waterways and land ports, and resume outbound tourism for Chinese citizens in an orderly manner (the days are coming when the sea and the sky are brighter and you can leave whenever you want).
finally wants to say that if we continue to be inflexible and defensive, China will gradually drift away from the world and even be in danger of being isolated. People in this country will also be ostracized by the outside world and slowly lose close external ties. There are also hundreds of millions of companies and businesses that will lack sufficient vitality and lose better opportunities to develop and grow because of the obstruction of the circulation chain. "Category B and B", stop "crying" to reverse the trend and implement blockade and control. Follow the general trend and follow the big troops. It will not be so tiring, it will not be wrong, and it will be beneficial to the country and yourself.
