(Fight against New Coronary Pneumonia) The Chinese side introduced a series of recent foreign import prevention measures: maintain the results of epidemic prevention and control to reduce the risk of cross-infection
China News Service, Beijing, Nov. 6 (Huang Yuqin) Strengthening of remote prevention and monitoring of personnel arriving in China, “double negative” certification, and new transit point nucleic acid and antibody test. In response to a series of foreign defense imports recently taken by China On epidemic prevention and control measures, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin gave a detailed explanation and explanation at a conference of regular press on day 6.
Recently, several Chinese embassies and consulates abroad have issued notices, imposing stricter requirements for the prevention and control of the epidemic on passengers arriving in China. In this regard, Wang Wenbin said that in recent times, the epidemic situation abroad has further deteriorated, and the epidemic import risk facing China continues to rise. The number of cases imported abroad in October increased by about 45% compared to September, reaching 515.
“At the same time, there have also been local epidemics in Qingdao and Kashgar in China. In this situation, learning from the practices of some countries and further strengthening the remote prevention and control of people arriving in China is not only for maintain the national epidemic prevention and control results that China has won so much, but also help minimize the risk of cross-infection of people who come to China on their way, and then protect the health and safety of all, “said Wang Wenbin.
Among the various foreign import prevention measures recently launched, the “double negative” certificate has attracted much attention from the outside world, that is, those going to China should seize the opportunity with the double negative certificate of the new nucleic acid test. coronavirus and serum antibody test.
Discussing the specific considerations of the relevant measures, Wang Wenbin noted that since the implementation of nucleic acid testing measures for passengers arriving in China before boarding, they have played an important role in preventing the importation of epidemics. abroad. However, there is no detection method that can achieve 100% accuracy.
He said that, according to the opinions of the relevant professional departments, the results of serum specific IgM antibody tests are stable, and nucleic acid tests can greatly improve the accuracy of detection of new coronavirus infections, so we have increased the requirements for serum antibody testing. Judging from previous trials in some countries, the effect is good. It is understood that countries have already adopted similar measures.
In addition to the “double negative” certificate, passengers in transit in China must again undergo antibody and nucleic acid tests at the transit point. Wang Wenbin said that the current epidemic situation abroad is very serious. Every time passengers arriving in China stay in one place, the risk of infection increases by one point. Judging by the current situation of imported cases, many people have undergone nucleic acid tests before traveling and then contracted an epidemic, this type of situation accounts for almost half of imported cases.
“Therefore, additional testing is necessary at the transit point for the prevention and control of the epidemic. At the same time, we also suggest that if cross-border travel is really necessary, plan the route reasonably and choose direct flights. as much as possible to avoid traffic, “said Wang Wenbin.
