In this regard, Chinese officials have issued a notice requesting that the epidemic prevention and control work during New Year’s Day and the Spring Festival be carried out without any slack.

Recently, many sporadic and clustered epidemics have occurred in Beijing, Liaoning and other places, causing concern about the spread of the epidemic.

Zhu Wenzhong, deputy director of the Passenger Transport Department of China Railway Group, told a press conference on the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the 30th that an estimated 34 million railway passengers will be shipped to all the country during New Year’s Day transport, 6.9% less from year to year; Spring Festival transportation in 2021 is expected to be nationwide. The railway sent 407 million passengers, an average of 10.18 million passengers per day, an increase of 93.4% year-on-year, and the same as Spring Festival Transportation in 2019.

Zhu Wenzhong said that the actual transportation capacity of the national railway transportation of the Spring Festival in 2021 increased by 3.2% compared with the transportation of the 2020 Spring Festival. The passenger transportation capacity during the transportation of the Festival of Primavera can basically guarantee passenger travel, but transport capacity on peak days of concentrated passenger flow will remain in short supply.

As winter enters, the national and international epidemic situation has become more tense. Zhong Nanshan said that China has formed a very effective and relatively rigorous prevention and control network, so the domestic epidemic will not have a large-scale outbreak like the first one, but there will definitely be repeated or sporadic cases.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of new cases in mainland China. Zhong Nanshan believes that it may be related to the environment and the transmission of materials and must be vigilant. However, this problem is also a “scientific problem to be addressed and solved in the next step.”

In response to concerns from the outside world about vaccine safety and virus mutation, Zhong Nanshan said that vaccines currently used abroad, as well as whole virus inactivated vaccines from China, remain safe and effective. in this stage. Once the virus mutates, infectivity will definitely increase, but as of now there is no evidence that the mutation of the virus can cause resistance to the vaccine. (End up)
