With the implementation of new and particularly effective preventive measures, the epidemic is expected to be well controlled for some time to come. The possibility is estimated to be unlikely. “
Mi Feng, spokesman for the China National Health Commission and deputy director of the Advertising Department, said that although the current epidemic in China has been effectively controlled, no new confirmed and suspected local cases have been reported for 44 consecutive days, but there have been added new confirmed and asymptomatic imported cases. Infected people continue to report, and there is always the risk of sporadic cases and local outbreaks in China.
Wu Zunyou also stressed that the cases of rebound in many countries suggest that if prevention and control measures are lax, the epidemic will recover. It is necessary to assess the prevention and control results achieved so far, maintain awareness of the normalization of prevention and control, and adjust protection measures at any time according to changes in the epidemic.

To make it easier for the elderly, children and other passengers who do not use or do not have smartphones, operators must provide services such as checking health codes and help fill out the information for passengers who need it. .
