The Chinese New Year is approaching and the epidemic situation in several places suddenly worsens. Among them, Hebei, who is a neighbor of Beijing, is the most serious. As of Monday (January 11), Hebei has more than 300 confirmed cases. Outside of Hebei, local cases have also been reported in places like Beijing and Heilongjiang.
China’s National Health Commission reported that China reported 55 new confirmed cases from 0am to midnight on Monday, including 42 local cases and 40 cases in Hebei.
12 Hebei villages transferred and isolated
According to information released by the Chinese authorities, Hebei added 40 new confirmed cases of the new corona virus on Monday, and 21 new cases were added in Hebei from 0 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Tuesday (12). The three cities of Shijiazhuang, Xingtai and Langfang implement closed management, and people and vehicles cannot go out unless necessary.
Li Qi, director of the Hebei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention and epidemiologist, said on Tuesday that the Shijiazhuang epidemic is mainly distributed in rural areas, mainly farmers, and farmers currently account for 70.07% of all cases. . The patients are mainly middle-aged and elderly, and the main types are common and asymptomatic.
On January 7, Shijiazhuang announced the city closure, and city personnel and vehicles were not allowed to leave the city. On the 8th, Shijiazhuang completed the city’s nucleic acid test, which required people to stay home for 7 days.
According to a China China News Agency official media report, the confirmed cases in Shijiazhuang have occupations such as nurses, taxi drivers and teachers, and the trajectory of confirmed cases has also involved multiple provinces.
The Propaganda Department of the Shijiazhuang City Gaocheng District Committee said on Monday that it received instructions from higher authorities to effectively prevent and control the epidemic and carry out centralized isolation and observation of more than 20,000 villagers in 12 villages in Zengcun City.
Videos circulating on social media showed villagers pushing boxes and bags, and taking buses to the isolation site.
Lu Qiang, secretary of Xiaoguozhuang Village, Zengcun City, told Chinese media that centralized isolation can reduce the spread of the virus. “Because centralized isolation is called network management. Our network management is the most efficient. Which medical institution and who will monitor and manage each building, including testing, is very convenient. Once a problem occurs, fix the problem It’s easier, “Lu Qiang said.
But there are also voices on the Internet wondering if this transfer process also has hidden risks of infection.
Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University in Shanghai, said on Weibo on Tuesday that China has the most powerful non-medical intervention strategy and believes that Hebei’s epidemic control will be successful in about one month.
