Beijing held its 325th press conference on the prevention and control of the epidemic, what information was revealed at the conference?
Information 1, the proportion of our elderly infected people who have not been vaccinated against the new coronavirus reaches 50%: In this press conference, we can know that now Beijing has accumulated more than 40 cases of the new coronavirus infection reported in five districts, including Chaoyang District, Fangshan District, Shunyi District, Xicheng District and Tongzhou District. Moreover, according to our preliminary results of the flow survey, it has been spreading insidiously for 1 week, and multiple generations of cases have appeared in a short period of time, suggesting that the virus is spreading insidiously and rapidly, and the difficulty of prevention and control has been further increased. Nearly a quarter of the 40 or so infected cases are elderly people aged 60 and above.
Info 2, genetic sequencing of our infected specimens showed that the virus belonged to the Omicron variant: the viral sequences of four of the infected cases were identical to those of the recent outbreaks outside of Beijing, as well as the spillover to other provinces and cities. At this time, our epidemic prevention and control situation is grim and complex, facing multiple risks such as importation from outside China and Beijing, and the increased movement of people during the May Day holiday, so the pressure on our prevention and control continues to increase. We must take the most decisive measures to control the risk as quickly as possible, flow and traceability, and resolutely block the chain of transmission of the virus.
Message three, in the epidemic we still have elderly infected people did not receive the new crown vaccine did not take protective measures and has completed the basic immunization half a year after the need to carry out booster vaccination: to know that the new crown vaccine is to prevent infection with the new crown virus leads to severe, critical illness and death of effective measures. We should intersect with the case activity trajectory of the personnel, receive health treasure pop-up window prompting personnel immediately to the community, the unit to report, cooperate with the various preventive and control measures. When conducting nucleic acid test, we should queue up in an orderly manner, not push, pay attention to hand hygiene, maintain a safe social distance, and consciously do not gather or leave the capital before the result of nucleic acid test is available. If you feel unwell, do not buy or take medication on your own, and seek medical treatment in accordance with the regulations. To be vaccinated as soon as possible, such as has completed the basic immunization half a year later, please as soon as possible to carry out booster vaccination, to protect themselves, protect their families, to build a strong security barrier in the capital to contribute to their own strength.
