Economic Observer reporter Zhang Ying edited Chen Zhe on November 30, Beijing, Chaoyang District, Gaobeidian area, Taipingzhuang neighborhood committees in the public number issued a "nucleic acid testing and case management and control of the warm tips
But the article has since been deleted.
On Dec. 1, an Economic Observer reporter in the Taipingzhuang community learned that a number of new crown-positive infected people were indeed under home quarantine. Positive people where the building is closed management, community staff stationed in front of the building in a blue tent, to provide residents with material security. The reporter asked the positive infected home isolation basis, the staff said, there is a relevant policy to rely on, but for the specific content of the policy did not answer.
The reporter noted that on November 30, a Beijing Chaoyang District, the new crown of positive infected persons "should be transferred as far as possible, should be retained as far as possible" notice circulated on the Internet, which shows that due to the physical conditions, family conditions and other special reasons or confrontation with the larger positive people, can be in the signing of the "home quarantine notification of the commitment letter". In the case of the signing of the "home isolation notification commitment letter", home isolation on the spot. The reporter asked the person in charge of the Chaoyang District Health Commission and the CDC to confirm whether the notice was true, but did not get a clear response.
A street worker in Chaoyang District confirmed to the Economic Observer that there are indeed positive infected people living in isolation, mainly elderly people with limited mobility, in the area of his street.
In recent days, the policy space for home quarantine of people involved in the epidemic has been expanding in many parts of the country. on Nov. 27, Guangdong Provincial Governor Wang Weizhong said that he would support the implementation of home quarantine for those who meet the conditions of the confinement.
November 30, Chongqing Municipal Health Commission deputy director Li Shian introduced, such as serious underlying diseases of the population, some of the elderly, pregnant women or still breastfeeding women, these people with special circumstances, and the family has the conditions, it is possible to home for isolation.
According to the "New Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Program" and optimize the epidemic prevention and control "new 20", for the diagnosis of new coronary infected persons should be transferred to a designated medical institution or square cabin hospital within two hours, cases cured after discharge, should be 7 days home health monitoring. For close, should be "5 days centralized isolation + 3 days home isolation".
On December 1, Vice Premier Sun Chunlan convened a symposium at the National Health Commission to listen to the views and suggestions of frontline representatives of prevention and control work on optimizing and improving preventive and control measures, and she emphasized that it is necessary to summarize the grassroots experience and practice, and to promote the continuous optimization of preventive and control measures. She pointed out that China has effective diagnostic and treatment technologies and medicines, the complete vaccination rate of the whole population is more than 90%, and the health awareness and literacy of the masses have been significantly improved, coupled with the fact that the pathogenicity of omicron viruses is weakening, which creates conditions for further optimization and improvement of prevention and control measures.
Residents spontaneously solitaire agreed to the new crown infected people home isolation
December 1, in the Gaobeidian Taipingzhuang community Oman apartment small area, residents as usual, free access, many residents in the small area activities, express delivery, takeaway can still be sent to the residents' homes. And at this time there are several nucleic acid positive residents in the neighborhood building home isolation, one of the building has been classified as a high-risk area.
A just buy groceries back to the neighborhood of the elderly to the reporter, her home next to the unit building there is a positive person home isolation, she thinks it does not affect her, will not be infected to her unit, only may affect the upstairs and downstairs residents.
A young mother who is playing with her child on a scooter downstairs said the new crown positive person home isolation has been agreed by most owners in the area. "A few days ago, many of our owners spontaneously took over the group in support of home segregation for New Crown positives, and I joined in." She believes that as long as the positive people stay at home and do not go out, they will not affect their neighbors. She is also willing to help pick up any supplies her neighbors need while they are homebound and deliver them to their homes.
The young mother cited her reasons for supporting home quarantine for positive people: many have elderly people and children at home who need to be taken care of; the environmental conditions in the square pods are not ideal, there are too many people, there are no specific medicines for treatment, and the rate of physical recovery may not be as fast as at home.
The Taipingzhuang community is not the only one where residents support home quarantine for positive people.
November 30, 8:30 pm, Beijing Chaoyang District, Beijing, the dazzle of special Jiayuan district residents of a building received a community staff notification, "X building appeared nucleic acid-positive people, in order to you and your family's health, warm reminder of the following: 1, involving the "crocus" people have been notified by phone, need to be managed at home. 2, involving the "crocus" people have been notified by phone, need to be managed at home. This building will not be closed for control and management, except for the "crocus" personnel, other people in and out of the building should be well-protected, please wear a good mask, and be diligent in decontamination. 3. Because of the positive case in Building X, it will be designated as a high-risk area, and residents who have the need to see a doctor and seek medical treatment should come to the community to sign a letter of commitment. ".
After receiving the above message, residents of the building have been solitaire in the group, expressed support for the positive people home isolation, another staff member said, the positive people are now home isolation.
From the arrangement of the building's notice, there are two obvious differences: first, the positive people and the residents of the cross flower home isolation; the second is that the residents outside the cross flower is not restricted from traveling.
A street worker in Chaoyang District, a unit, building as a unit to divide the high-risk area for sealing and control, with the number of infected people, grass-roots manpower has been stretched to the limit, and many grass-roots personnel are currently overwhelmed. She hoped to give more support to the grassroots, or on the basis of scientific evidence to further reduce the scope of sealing and control for the grassroots to reduce the burden.
In the Taipingzhuang community, a staff member was constantly delivering supplies to residents of sealed buildings, showing reporters his frozen hands, "We're also working very hard and haven't been home for many days."
Will a positive home quarantine infect neighbors
Whether home quarantine for newly crowned infected people will infect family members and neighbors is a matter of concern for many people.
According to a report in the Beijing Daily in May this year, according to Beijing's epidemic prevention policy at the time, once a new crown case appears, residents who live on the same floor or in the same row as the confirmed case will need to be transferred to centralized quarantine, which is called "crosshatch" transfer. Beijing Daily reported, "This is because there is the possibility of the same floor residents at the same time empty crossover, and the same column of residents **** with the sewer, flue, may also pose a risk of transmission."
But several experts in an interview with Economic Observer believe that the possibility of the new crown virus spreading through sewers and flues is very small.
Kim Dongyan, a virologist at the University of Hong Kong, believes that there is not much basis for the spread of neocoronaviruses due to sewers when living at home. Sewer transmission of the new crown virus is a special situation in Hong Kong, China, a special environment, it occurred in the 1970s cover the old-style housing estates, there is a special building structure, the toilet to take the wind to the toilet sewage pipe. In mainland China, there has never been a clear report of transmission caused by sewers in high-rise residential areas and high-rise buildings.
For residents still worried about sewer transmission, Jin Dongyan suggested putting a few spoons of bleach in the sewer drain every day.
For flue transmission, virologist Chang Rongshan said that when a newly infected person uses a kitchen range hood, the temperature in the duct is high, especially dry, and the air flows quickly, so when it is exhausted to the outdoors, the virus is basically inactivated, resulting in a very low chance of transmission.
Chang Rongshan said positive people can also open windows for ventilation while they are at home. "Windows facing the outdoors can be ventilated twice during the day. It is recommended not to open the windows if there is a strong wind outside, such as a force 4 wind or higher. The peak of virus shedding in asymptomatic infected persons is generally in the 3rd-5th day, and also the brightest days of the T-line during antigen detection, during which the virus in the aerosol passes through the window to the outdoors, and after the dilution of the outdoor air, the concentration is immediately reduced to a very low level, and the risk of re-infecting others can not be ruled out, but the actual report is almost none; during other times of the day, there is not much risk of spreading by opening the window. "
He also suggested that positive people home isolation period, try not to go out of the room alone, *** resident briefly opened the door of the room to send meals, to maintain a distance of 2 meters, both sides wear masks; do a good job after the use of the bathroom hygiene, do not live with the same people in close proximity to the contact, all of these can stop the spread of the spread of the disease.
