This year, China National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated on the same day, because most of the office workers who have been at “home” for more than half a year are planning a trip or carnival for the next 8 Holidays. However, many experts recalled that although the local epidemic situation in mainland China has been temporarily controlled, it is still not 100% “safe” and there is an increased risk of a rebound in the epidemic. Therefore, it is still necessary to exercise caution when traveling on “double parties” and try to avoid going to some border areas.
There are still hidden security risks in epidemic prevention and control
According to a report by the National Health Commission of China on the 21st, on the 20th, 12 new cases were confirmed in 31 provinces, all of which were imported from abroad. This is also the 36th consecutive day of zero new cases of local cases in mainland China.
However, the global epidemic continues to spread. On the 20th, about 240,000 new cases were confirmed in a single day and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 31 million. Under the high pressure of the global epidemic, the number of imported cases outside of China continues to rise. As of the 20th, a total of 2,742 confirmed cases were imported from mainland China, and there are 173 confirmed cases, all imported from abroad.
The Yunnan Provincial Health Commission recently notified Ruili City of 2 confirmed cases, both from illegal immigrants from Myanmar. Although the results of the nucleic acid test in Ruili City are all negative and there is no transmission in this case, as Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said, the cases in Ruili suggest that there are still gaps and gaps in border prevention and control. weakness.
The Health and Health Bureau of Fuyu City, Jilin Province, revealed on the 20th that an imported squid mustache (10 kg) with a positive nucleic acid test on an outer package sample entered the city from Changchun, which once again sounded the alarm for the prevention of epidemics in all aspects of imports of seafood.
Many experts said that China fears that there will be an epidemic risk for a long time to come. This risk comes mainly from imports from abroad, some weak links that are easily overlooked, a very small number of asymptomatic infections that are difficult to diagnose immediately in the initial stage and due to the new crown. Uncertainty caused by the unknown of the virus.
It does not rule out the possibility of local outbreaks in fall and winter.
Just a month ago, Zeng Guang, a former chief epidemiology scientist at the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview with the China News Agency that the possibility of new corona pneumonia form an epidemic peak in autumn and winter is relatively high.
Zhong Nanshan, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, held a similar view at a health forum on the 18th. He said: “The new corona epidemic should continue to exist this winter and next spring, and outbreaks are likely to occur. local”. He stressed that infection control is the key to preventing and controlling the epidemic this winter and next spring. In particular, we must be vigilant for asymptomatic infections that are showing symptoms. The five days before and after are the most contagious and the viral load is high.
Ma Xiaowei, director of the National Health Commission, also pointed out a few days ago that the current epidemic is still spreading globally, and there is still a risk of sporadic cases and local outbreaks in China. Respiratory diseases such as new corona pneumonia and influenza intertwine in the fall and winter, and the task of prevention and control is arduous.
Already in early autumn, China has adopted comprehensive measures for the prevention and control of the autumn and winter epidemics. On September 18, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council once again held a mobilization training meeting for the special supervision of the prevention and control of epidemics in autumn and winter, and announced that it will start the special supervision prevention and control of epidemics in 17 provinces by the end of September and urges all regions to plug the gaps in a timely manner, Fix the shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, and resolutely prevent the fall and winter epidemic from recovering.
The “Double Festival” trips try to avoid going to the border areas
China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism has just raised the upper limit for tourist attractions to 75% from 50% previously, which may cause an explosive increase in the number of domestic tourists during the “double festival” holiday.
Zhang Wenhong, head of the Shanghai New Coronary Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Team and Director of the Huashan Hospital Infectious Diseases Department, said that if there have been no new local cases in mainland China for more than a month, it can be said that there is a near 100% chance that you will not find the new crown. Patient, but this does not mean that traveling has reached 100% safety. “We can only restore 90% of our normal life, and we are still under the ‘new normal’ of epidemic prevention and control, rather than life having entered normalization.”
He believes that traveling is okay nowadays, and wearing masks is not necessary in all settings, but there should be “adequate tension” in crowded settings, especially when meeting people you don’t know. Always keep the interior ventilation clean and hygienic. In case of fever or any clinical symptom, it is necessary to see a doctor as soon as possible, so that the “anti-epidemic force” can detect patients at risk in the shortest possible time.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism recently issued a notice on the opening and management of scenic spots during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, and still stresses that A-level scenic spots should implement various prevention and management measures of outbreaks in accordance with the “limited change, appointment and rush hour” requirements.
Wu Zunyou said that China has a long land border and that the pressure and difficulty of foreign defense entry is greater than that of an airport. Furthermore, the rapid growth or rebound of the epidemic situation in some countries in China, along with insufficient medical resources and limited testing capabilities in some border areas on the other side, require special attention from China’s land border cities. He recalled that the public should avoid visiting these areas as much as possible during the “Double Festival” holidays. (Finish)
