The Guangzhou epidemic news conference held on October 31th announced five measures to further optimize prevention and control in each district, and proposed that close contacts should implement centralized isolation observation in principle, and those who meet the conditions of home isolation should implement home isolation; Accurately carry out epidemiological investigation, and do not take time and space as the standard to judge close contacts. Defining high-risk areas scientifically and accurately and carrying out nucleic acid detection scientifically are basically the reaffirmation of "Twenty Measures". In addition, we should speed up vaccination.
this is "the requirement for comprehensively, accurately and completely implementing the ninth edition prevention and control plan of the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism and further optimizing the twenty measures for epidemic prevention and control".
Before and after the press conference, Guangzhou 11 District issued notices to adjust the risk areas, basically releasing the temporary control areas immediately. In Haizhu District, Guangzhou, where the epidemic was the most anxious, a large control area in the middle was reduced to low risk. The twenty measures clearly adjust the high, middle and low risk areas to two grades, and cancel the judgment of the middle risk area. However, many districts emphasize that "lifting" does not mean "disarming", so residents are requested to continue not to gather.
Red Star News reporter noticed that the same five measures were also announced at the Shenzhen epidemic news conference on the same day.
After the conference, Guangzhou Metro announced that the subway stations and Haizhu trams that stopped operating due to epidemic prevention and control in Guangzhou gradually resumed normal operation, and the subway stations in Foshan area in the west extension of Line 7 also resumed normal operation.

Local residents in Guangzhou: Many nucleic acid spots were closed and enclosures were removed
At 1: 11 pm on October 31th, Xiao Zheng, who lives in Shiling Town, Huadu District, Guangzhou, went to a nucleic acid spot near his home with his father to do nucleic acid as usual after lunch. Two days ago, the neighborhood near her home was closed and the water horse was surrounded. When she got off the bus, she saw a long line of nucleic acid spots, and she rushed to the end of the line. When it was almost time for him, Xiao Zheng saw a male staff member come out and said, "No nucleic acid now!" "
When going to other nucleic acid sites, Xiao Zheng either saw the staff packing things, or was stopped by the staff and said, "There is no nucleic acid here". After returning home, Xiao Zheng saw the notice of adjusting the risk area in Huadu District. Her younger brother's school, which is in the third grade of elementary school, also issued a notice, saying that students do not need to conduct nucleic acid testing every day for online classes at home.
Previously, Guangzhou has explored the exemption of some people from inspection, and announced that people who have no social activities, such as long-term stay-at-home elderly people, online students, home office workers, etc., may not participate in nucleic acid screening if they have no need to go out, thus reducing the risk of infection among people and saving nucleic acid resources in the city. The measures taken on October 31 reiterated that the scope of nucleic acid testing should not be expanded, and the whole staff of nucleic acid testing should not be carried out according to administrative regions.
Xiao Zheng's father, Mr. Zheng, recalled to the Red Star journalist that since last week, almost all the roads in Shiling Town have been blocked, with water horses and iron plates blocking the intersections. He and his friends often enjoy information in the group and pay attention to which intersections can still pass. However, when he went out on the afternoon of October 31, Mr. Zheng saw that all the roadblocks were closed. However, there are no signs that the surrounding shops have resumed operations.
Dismantling the water horse
Mr. Zheng also learned that his friend's wife's health code turned red after going to the children's hospital on the morning of October 31, and was judged as secret connection. The secret connection originally required centralized isolation, but the friend's wife received a notice that she only needed home isolation and could transcode after five days and three inspections.
According to official website, the Guangdong Provincial Government, at the matchmaking meeting between Guangdong Working Group on COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control and Guangdong Province on the evening of October 27th, Guangdong Governor Wang Weizhong expressed his support for qualified secret workers to implement home isolation.

Xiao Chen of Panyu District told the Red Star reporter that there were no cases in his community and he was not blocked, but the community encouraged residents to "not move unless necessary" and required all staff to conduct nucleic acid testing every day. Seeing the news of the lifting of temporary control in many districts in Guangzhou, Xiao Chen said that he was "very happy, but it was too sudden".
The nucleic acid spot at the entrance of Guangzhou resident Xiao Chen has been closed
Xiao Chen said that at 12: 31 noon on October 31th, the residential property was informed by the owner group, "We are informed by the epidemic prevention department at a higher level that all nucleic acid spots will be suspended immediately. The specific opening hours are waiting for the latest notice from the superior epidemic prevention department. " When Xiao Chen went downstairs for a walk in the afternoon, he found that the nucleic acid spot had been closed.
Previously, due to epidemic prevention and control, private cars were forbidden to move, and the community was originally full of cars. On October 31, when Xiao Chen walked out of the house again, he saw that many parking spaces were empty and cars were driving away. Near the community, there are students skateboarding and others walking along the river.

It should be completed before 24 o'clock." She said that she has not received a notice to carry out nucleic acid testing the next day. Regarding the home isolation policy, the staff member said: "Subsequent positive tests cannot be isolated at home, and special contacts can be made at home, such as pregnant women, 81-year-olds and very young children."
The staff of Nanshitou Sub-district Office in Haizhu District said that the temporary control area and the place with water and horses have been unsealed, and residents can go out for activities at will.

Sister Rong said that the store manager has arranged to resume the work of eating in the hall tomorrow. Except for two colleagues who are still locked up at home, everyone else will come to work tomorrow, because there is no dining room for too long, and a big cleaning is needed.
Expert: Scientific judgment, positive step
Virology expert Chang Rongshan lives in Panyu District, Guangzhou, and his neighborhood has been temporarily closed since October 25th. In an interview with the Red Star journalist, he said that on the afternoon of October 31, with the announcement issued by the district, the temporary closure of the community was cancelled and it was possible to enter and exit normally. "The flow of people in the community is normal, because there is some rain in Mao Mao, and there are not many people originally". According to him, the residents of the community felt "very happy" after unsealing and canceling the nucleic acid requirements.
At the same time, Chang Rongshan found that the nucleic acid detection points downstairs in the community had been removed. As far as he knows, some nearby communities informed at two o'clock in the afternoon that the nucleic acid detection was completely suspended, and only the nucleic acid of the hospital fever clinic was reserved.
On the other hand, Chang Rongshan also mentioned that personal protection should be done next. "Of course, I think most residents have this awareness, because everyone is still afraid of being infected and afraid of becoming close."
Chang Rongshan believes that this policy is a scientific judgment made by Guangzhou in strict accordance with the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan and 21 measures, aiming at the current epidemic situation. "This signal is very positive. After all, this winter has just begun."
He wrote in his circle of friends: This is an important step to return to normal life in an all-round way, and Guangzhou has taken a small step.
