Wang Bin, CDC inspector of the National Health Commission, analyzed the characteristics of the clustered epidemics that have occurred in Beijing, Hebei, Heilongjiang and Jilin recently: they were caused by foreign personnel or contaminated imports from the cold chain, and the most of them occurred in rural areas. The tricky thing is that the spread is wide and fast, and it is difficult to manage. Especially around the Spring Festival, the various banquets and wedding gatherings have increased considerably, at the same time that there are multiple transmission chains in a city or region, making it difficult to face the epidemic.
On this basis, the National Health Commission establishes the relevant requirements, including the return of people to their places of origin with a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 7 days before they can return to their places of origin.

They provide services such as care medical, food delivery, shopping and life care, and they accompany them throughout the year. “
In response to the question of how migrant workers and other migrant workers can feel comfortable during the New Year, Chen Yongjia, deputy director of the Department of Employment Promotion of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that, while guiding the various ways to “send warmth” and New Year’s collective activities in various regions, also Encourage companies to issue “red retention envelopes” and “New Year gift packages”, organize cultural and entertainment activities and implement salaries, vacation and other benefits.
