On the afternoon of November 12, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference to publicize the strengthening of the prevention and control of the winter epidemic and the in-depth development of the patriotic health campaign . According to Vice Foreign Minister Luo Zhaohui, so far China has imported more than 3,600 cases from abroad. In particular, the number of imported cases has increased rapidly since October. The current daily average is 16.6 cases, an increase of 45% compared to September. 260 cases were admitted in the first ten days. The pressure on the entrance of the external defense and the rebound of the internal defense continued unabated.
Currently, the second wave of epidemics worldwide is fierce, with accumulated cases exceeding 52 million. Luo Zhaohui said that under the new epidemic situation, China will take corresponding measures in accordance with the current situation and referring to the practices of other countries. The first is to increase the serum antibody test and the second is to reduce the nucleic acid test prior to shipping from 72 hours to 48 hours. Hours, the third is to add a test at the transit point, and the fourth is to adopt a stricter visa policy for some countries with high epidemics; At the same time, the flight breaker mechanism continues to be applied more strictly.
According to statistics, since the implementation of remote nucleic acid testing in July, so far, around 400,000 nucleic acid samples from Chinese and foreign travelers have been tested, of which 30,000 have been abnormal. “That is, almost 13% are problematic and the effectiveness of our remote prevention and control is obvious.” Luo Zhaohui said that the precision of nucleic acid tests is relatively high, but there are still more than 3,600 cases that have become confirmed cases after entering China. None of the detection methods is 100% accurate, so through repeated studies by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the competent departments of the Health Commission and experts, it is proposed to increase the detection of serum antibodies to achieve a “double safe”. For cases where the serum antibody test cannot be performed temporarily, an additional nucleic acid test is used to replace the serum antibody test to strengthen the “double safe.”
Regarding the tests at the transit point, Luo Zhaohui said that experts have carefully studied and analyzed recent imported cases and found that almost half of imported cases are transit passengers in the near future, especially since October. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the implementation of “dual tests” at the transit point. . What should I do if some transit points do not have the “dual test” conditions? Luo Zhaohui said that the “12308” hotline of the Foreign Ministry and the consular protection hotline of foreign embassies and consulates are open 24 hours a day. The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is on call 24 hours a day. Passengers, compatriots abroad and foreign guests will be on duty if they encounter emergencies and special difficulties. You can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassies and consulates abroad to report the situation at any time.
