Recently, the cluster of imported cases in China has affected many provinces, which once again sounded the alarm to people.So how should we respond to the current pressure of epidemic prevention and control?

We must overcome the paralysis of carelessness and dispel the mentality of luck

The experience gained from more than a year of regular epidemic prevention and control has made it easier for us to cope with this new round of challenges. However, there is no room for blind optimism in this new situation.

There are three major risks in this epidemic, and it is difficult to prevent and control it.

1. The gathering place of the case is a highly densely populated area: airports, hospitals, tourist attractions, etc.

2. "Delta" mutant strain has strong transmission ability, fast transmission speed and stronger adaptability to human body.

It is the holiday season, and the craze of traveling and gathering is not reduced.

At present, COVID-19 prevention and control measures are being further upgraded in many places to curb the spread of the epidemic.As of 18 o 'clock on August 1, 2021, a total of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) issued travel alerts for epidemic prevention and control: "Do not leave provinces or cities if it is not necessary" or "reduce travel from provinces or cities".

Many places have upgraded epidemic prevention and control measures:

Nanjing, Jiangsu: Closed management of elderly care institutions;The fourth round of large-scale nucleic acid testing was launched.

Yangzhou, Jiangsu: All small areas in the main urban area except the gated community will be closed to management from 0:00 on August 3.

Wuhan, Hubei: Nucleic acid testing for all staff.

Zhangjiajie, Hunan: From August 3, all residents and tourists in Zhangjiajie are not allowed to leave the city.

Zhengzhou, Henan province: 1 area was adjusted as a high-risk area;6 to moderate risk areas.

Beijing: Upgrade the level of control in Beijing.

From the occurrence and spread of the epidemic, we can see that there are still weak links in the prevention and control work in some places, especially in the prevention and control of imported cases, which need attention from all parties.The recent dismissal of officials in charge of prevention and control in Jiangsu province and Zhengzhou is another wake-up call.

In Nanjing, for example, three prevention and control workers helped people without nucleic acid test certificates to avoid testing for personal gain.Such knowingly illegal acts must be severely punished.

"Vaccine + mask" : Take double insurance to prevent the outbreak rebound

There is no denying that "vaccination is the most effective measure to prevent disease".As of today, our country new crown has more than 1.6 billion doses of vaccine immunization, but vaccinated't ranging up to the "safe", while it is possible to produce immunity after vaccination, can greatly reduce the risk of infection, but any vaccine protection can't be 100%, after some vaccination may not produce enough antibodies, still there will be a risk of infection.

"Vaccination must be combined with strict prevention and control measures, which is the main measure to prevent the outbreak from rebounding," Shao Yiming, a member of the team's vaccine research and development team, told the media.

Academician Zhong Nanshan previously said that the past concept of close contact is no longer applicable due to the high viral load, high concentration of exhaled virus and strong infectivity of patients with delta mutant strain.Now the concept of close contacts is "in the same space, the same unit, the same building, four days before the onset of illness", and patients together, are close contacts.

Therefore, according to the characteristics of the Delta strain, stricter, faster and more comprehensive prevention and control measures must be used to stop the transmission of the Delta strain.

Epidemic prevention and control, these eight must abide by!

1. Continue not to leave the country unless necessary;

2, do not go to high school risk areas, tourism hotspots travel or business;

3. Continue to pay attention to the situation of the epidemic, and take the initiative to report travel;

4. Cut down on unnecessary gatherings.

5. Actively vaccinate against COVID-19;

6. Adhere to regular epidemic prevention and control measures;

7. Maintain a healthy lifestyle;

8, do health monitoring, have symptoms to seek medical treatment.

In the protracted battle against the epidemic, each of us is an important link. If one link is lost, the efforts of tens of millions of people may be "zeroed out".Party members, officials, community workers and volunteers are working together to strengthen the network against the epidemic.People who go to work normally should take good care of themselves, do their jobs well and be responsible for the health of themselves and their surrounding relatives, friends and colleagues.The defense of epidemic prevention and control will be as strong as gold if we are responsible at every link and at every pass.
