On the afternoon of October 5th, the press conference of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism was held.
Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health and Wellness Commission and deputy director of the Propaganda Department, said that at present, China still faces the dual risks of importing overseas epidemics and spreading local epidemics, and the prevention and control situation is still severe and complicated.
we should adhere to the principle of "people first, life first", adhere to the general strategy of "external defense input, internal defense rebound" and the general policy of "dynamic clearing", make overall plans for epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, resolutely implement the "four early", and achieve early detection, quick disposal and prevention of spillover.
it is necessary to strictly implement the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan and the requirements of "nine prohibitions", improve the level of scientific and accurate prevention and control, effectively protect the normal production and living order of the masses, prevent simplification and "one size fits all", and resolutely rectify "layers of overweight". For typical cases, the joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council will intensify the notification and exposure.
CCTV reporter from China Central Radio and Television General Station: Recently, some places have adjusted their prevention and control measures. For example, some railway sections no longer check passengers' nucleic acid certificates, while others can pass through the whole province as long as the code is green, and some places have made it clear that nucleic acid testing will be at their own expense. Does this mean that our country's prevention and control policies will be adjusted in the near future?
Hu Xiang, the second-level inspector of the Department of Transmission and Prevention of the National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention: Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, we have always adhered to the concept of people first and life first, fully implemented the general strategy of "external defense input and internal defense rebound" and the general policy of "dynamic clearing", and constantly optimized and adjusted the prevention and control strategies and measures according to the working requirements of "timely discovery, rapid disposal, accurate control and effective treatment" and the characteristics of virus variation and the situation of epidemic prevention and control. Practice has proved that our epidemic prevention and control strategy and a series of strategic measures are completely correct, and they are also the most economical and effective.
At present, the international epidemic situation has ushered in a new winter epidemic season, and the epidemic situation in some parts of China is obviously rebounding, and the spread risks of other respiratory diseases such as influenza are superimposed, making the epidemic situation more severe and complicated. We unswervingly adhere to the general policy of "dynamic zero clearing", organize experts to continuously optimize and improve epidemic prevention and control measures according to the changes of virus incubation period, transmission power and pathogenicity, improve the level of scientific and accurate prevention and control, and further coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.
Xinhua News Agency reporter: Previously, official website, the National Health and Wellness Commission, opened a public message board on epidemic prevention and control. What are the problems that the masses have reflected more? How are these problems rectified and solved?
The second-level inspector of the Supervision Department of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention is properly good: We have sorted out some recent reactions from the masses, mainly focusing on the following three aspects: First, we have taken restrictive measures such as compulsory persuasion and isolation for people from low-risk areas, and there are many such complaints in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province and Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. Second, the scope of travel restrictions will be expanded from medium-high risk areas to other areas at will, and there are many such complaints in Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province and Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. The third is to expand the scope of risk groups taking isolation control measures at will, and there are many such complaints in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
The National Health and Wellness Commission and the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention attach great importance to the complaint work of the masses, and timely transfer and supervise local inspections to deal with the problems reflected by the masses every day. In addition, we also found that in addition to violating the "Nine Prohibitions" regulations, there are some new forms of dealing with the epidemic in some places, such as simplification, across the board, and "layer by layer plus code". The first is to charge for isolated places. Such as Bijie City in Guizhou Province and Nanchong City in Sichuan Province. The second is to be silent at will and close the city instead of control. Such as Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. In addition, public opinion monitoring found that in some areas, people were restricted to travel in the form of coded pop-ups. We attach great importance to the above problems and rectify them at the same time.
The simplification, one-size-fits-all and "layer-by-layer overweight" of prevention and control seriously violates the requirements of scientific and accurate prevention and control, efficient overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic development, and is a serious formalism and bureaucracy. We must do a good job in the current epidemic prevention and control work resolutely, scientifically and accurately, and resolutely clean up and stop all forms of simplification, one-size-fits-all and "layer-by-layer overweight" behavior. Relevant departments will promptly notify and urge rectification, and rectification is not in place or implemented.
People's Daily reporter: Recently, there are many newly infected people in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places, and the epidemic situation in Guangdong and Henan has also attracted much attention from the society. What is the development situation of the epidemic situation from a national perspective?
Hu Xiang, the second-level inspector of the Department of Communication and Prevention of the National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention: Recently, the number of newly reported positive infections in the country has fluctuated and increased, and the epidemic situation has continued to be characterized by multiple points, wide areas and frequent occurrences. The situation is severe and complicated. Influenced by the strong spreading ability and hidden spread of the evolutionary branch of Omicron, the cross-provincial epidemic situation has increased, and the old and new epidemics have overlapped in many places. In some areas, there have been clustered epidemics in provincial capitals such as Urumqi, Hohhot, Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, Fuzhou and Lanzhou.
At present, the key actions of epidemic prevention and control in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia have achieved initial results. The local outbreaks in Guangdong, Fujian, Heilongjiang, Hebei and Henan are gradually stabilizing, and the epidemics in other provinces are distributed in many places, and the national epidemic situation is generally controllable. However, it should be pointed out that due to the multiple pressures of imported COVID-19 epidemic from abroad, spread and spread of local epidemic and high incidence of seasonal diseases such as influenza in autumn and winter, the risk of clustering epidemic in COVID-19 still exists, and there is the possibility of superposition of COVID-19 epidemic and influenza epidemic.
The National Health and Wellness Commission and the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention will continue to guide all localities, adhere to the general strategy of "external defense input and internal defense rebound" and the general policy of "dynamic zero clearing", and strictly implement various measures for epidemic prevention and control scientifically and accurately, so as to quickly control and continuously strengthen the handling of local aggregated epidemics.
China Education TV reporter: At present, there are many outbreaks in China. At the same time, we are concerned that some students have reported on the Internet that their schools are "closed" because of the epidemic. How can we guide colleges and universities to scientifically and accurately prevent and control the epidemic and ensure the normal study and life of teachers and students to the maximum extent?
Liu Peijun, deputy director of the Department of Physical Education, Health and Arts of the Ministry of Education and a first-class inspector: Since the fall semester this year, the education system has conscientiously implemented the national general policy and new requirements for epidemic prevention and control, dynamically adjusted and optimized various measures for epidemic prevention and control in colleges and universities, and coordinated the development of epidemic prevention and control and education. At present, the epidemic situation in colleges and universities is generally stable and controllable, and the campus environment is generally safe and orderly.
On October 3rd, the Ministry of Education just convened the video dispatching conference of epidemic prevention and control in the national education system again, and made clear the general requirements for scientific and accurate prevention and control of campus epidemic: not only to prevent ineffective prevention and control, but also to relax and lead to the importation of campus epidemic; It is also necessary to prevent excessive epidemic prevention and "overweight at different levels", which will affect the life, study and work of teachers and students. On the basis of comprehensive, scientific and accurate prevention and control, we should adjust and optimize the prevention and control measures of campus epidemic situation in five aspects:
First, scientifically implement normal prevention and control. We will continue to implement the ninth edition of the National Epidemic Prevention and Control Plan and the sixth edition of the COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Technical Plan in colleges and universities, adhere to the prevention of people, things and the environment, prevent the epidemic from entering the campus, prevent the spread of the epidemic on campus, earnestly safeguard the health and safety of teachers and students, and constantly improve the scientific, accurate and humanized level of epidemic prevention and control. Campus management can neither be "one letter" nor "one release".
second, dynamically adjust education and teaching. Accurately arrange education and teaching work, and make a dynamic and orderly transition between offline teaching and online teaching. When there is no epidemic, try to ensure offline teaching as much as possible; When online teaching is really necessary in the event of an epidemic, it is necessary to ensure the quality of education and teaching and reduce the impact of the epidemic on the normal order of education and teaching.
Third, constantly optimize campus services. Coordinate the implementation of epidemic prevention and control and campus service guarantee. Effectively ensure the supply of campus living materials, epidemic prevention materials and teaching materials; Focus on improving the quality of catering services and standardizing the price of campus goods, comprehensively optimize various campus management services such as teaching, scientific research, exercise, accommodation, medical treatment and express delivery, and create a good and comfortable living, learning and working environment.
fourth, respond to students' concerns in time. Smooth the channels for teachers and students to reflect their demands and improve the feedback mechanism for problem solving. Encourage schools to "handle complaints immediately", attach great importance to, respond in time and properly solve the problem of "urgent difficulties and worries" between teachers and students. At the same time, we will guide teachers and students to strengthen the great anti-epidemic spirit, understand, cooperate and support the school to implement various measures for epidemic prevention and control, and work together to overcome the difficulties.
fifth, the system improves the emergency response capability. Insist on prevention first, and implement the requirements of "four mornings". The school constantly improves the emergency response plan and strengthens the construction of emergency guarantee mechanism, improves the monitoring, early warning and handling ability of the school epidemic situation, adheres to joint prevention and control, and implements the responsibilities of the four parties. The school continues to strive for the priority guarantee and inclined support of the relevant departments in the territory in terms of materials, policies and professional services. Once a campus epidemic situation occurs, with the support of the relevant departments in the territory, the school will control the epidemic situation quickly, accurately judge, seal and solve it quickly, and turn it into the normal campus in an orderly manner.
Hong Kong Economic Herald reporter: Influenza is frequent in autumn and winter. How can we distinguish COVID-19, common cold and influenza? What should I do if I have a fever?
Wang Guiqiang, Director of Infectious Diseases Department of Peking University No.1 Hospital: Covid-19 infection, cold and flu all belong to respiratory viral diseases, but there are still many differences, some are sexual and some are different.
first of all, in terms of pathogens. The common cold is caused by some viruses, such as rhinovirus; Influenza is caused by influenza virus; COVID-19 is Covid-19. Second, from the perspective of infectivity. A cold is not contagious. When the resistance drops, some viruses colonized in the upper respiratory tract replicate and cause symptoms. Both influenza and COVID-19 are contagious, and COVID-19 is obviously more contagious than influenza. Third, from the infection site, the common cold is generally in the upper respiratory tract, and generally does not cause pneumonia. Most of the influenza is also in the upper respiratory tract. Very few elderly people with basic diseases may involve the lungs. However, COVID-19 can cause pneumonia, and Covid-19 infection can induce a series of aggravations of basic diseases, which is a very important feature of COVID-19, so we can't ignore it. Fourth, from the perspective of the occurrence season. Colds have no seasonality, and can occur all year round, because the resistance is reduced, local virus reproduction can lead to symptoms. Influenza mainly occurs in autumn and winter, which can occur all year round in Covid-19, but autumn and winter will be the high-incidence season, because there are more indoor activities and the air is not circulating. Furthermore, from the clinical manifestations, colds are relatively mild, generally with some symptoms of the upper respiratory tract, such as runny nose and stuffy nose, and some individuals will have some low fever and few high fever. The flu often has systemic symptoms, such as headache, fever, sore throat, muscle and joint pain and so on. Covid-19 may have fever, muscle and joint pain, cough, decreased sense of smell and taste after infection, and may also induce the aggravation of basic diseases, especially for the elderly. Fifth, in terms of treatment, the common cold is not treated, and it is limited by itself. Generally, it will take 1-3 days, and when the resistance is good, it will pass. We often tell patients to drink more water and pay attention to rest. Influenza is a specific drug, and antiviral treatment can alleviate symptoms and reduce the occurrence of further complications. At present, there are antiviral drugs in COVID-19, so it is more important to treat COVID-19 actively, especially for the elderly with basic diseases, to intervene early to avoid the deterioration of their condition, including antiviral therapy, oxygen therapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other comprehensive treatments.
In short, under the epidemic situation in COVID-19, these three diseases have similarities, but they are quite different. Therefore, we emphasize that once symptoms such as fever appear, we must go to the hospital to see a doctor, and identify whether it is COVID-19 or flu. If it is flu, targeted treatment is a problem that COVID-19 is not just an early intervention of antiviral treatment, but also needs to be isolated to avoid the risk of further spread. At the same time, we should closely monitor the changes of the disease to prevent it from developing into serious diseases, including the risk of aggravation of basic diseases.
