【New Coronary Pneumonia ? Overseas】 The CCP's high-level officials held intensive meetings

The epidemic situation of China ’s New Coronary Pneumonia has been initially controlled. On April 8, the severely affected area in Wuhan was unsealed, but the epidemic situation continues to change. On the 8th, all communities in Suifenhe City on the Sino-Russian border in Heilongjiang Province began to implement closed management.

Over the past few days, the small border town of Suifenhe has become the focus of outside attention. Comprehensive media reported on April 10 that before April, the cumulative number of diagnoses here was always 0. The province of Heilongjiang, where it is located, has also adjusted the emergency response level of the provincial epidemic prevention and control to three-level response in late March. However, with the increasing pressure of overseas imports recently, Suifenhe has adopted closed management.

From 0:00 to 24:00 on April 9th, there were 28 newly confirmed cases imported from abroad in Heilongjiang Province, all of which are Chinese nationality, imported from Russia, including: 12 cases in Heilongjiang Province, 7 cases in Jilin Province, 4 cases in Fujian Province, Zhejiang 2 cases, 2 cases in Liaoning province, 1 case in Tianjin. On the afternoon of the 8th, Zhang Qingwei, Secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee, studied and deployed cross-border import prevention and control of the Suifenhe Port. Zhang Qingwei said, "Strict prevention of overseas imports is the top priority in the prevention and control of the current epidemic situation in our province."

Although China's epidemic situation continues to improve, the global epidemic situation is not optimistic.

On April 9th, the CPC Central Committee's response to the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Situation Leading Group meeting was held again. This was the first meeting of the top Chinese Communist Party after the unblocking of Wuhan.


It can be seen from the review that since April, the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee has held three meetings on the response to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, on April 2, April 6, and April 9. The content of the meeting mentioned the situation of foreign epidemic every time.


The meeting on the 2nd mentioned that "the global epidemic pandemic accelerated its spread", on the 6th it was "outbound epidemic outbreaks are growing," and the statement on the 9th became "the rapid spread of the global outbreak."

At a press conference on the 6th, Liu Haitao, director of the border inspection and management department of the China National Immigration Administration, said: "Our country has a land border of 22,000 kilometers, and there are 91 open ports on the land border. There are also a large number of border passages, sidewalks, and roads. The situation is very complicated, and the risk of overseas epidemic situations entering me from the land is high. "

In this context, the territorial responsibility of China's relevant border provinces has become increasingly important. In the three meetings mentioned above, the top leaders of the Communist Party of China also imposed "hard tasks" on the party committees and governments of border provinces and regions.

During the anti-epidemic period, from the national aid to Wuhan to "one province, one city", medical staff interpreted "to overcome the difficulties together" with actions. Today, the imported cases are severe in the northern border towns, and foreign support forces are in place again.

The Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee went to Suifenhe City's epidemic prevention and control working group to hold a press conference in Suifenhe City on the evening of the 9th. Since March 31, Heilongjiang Province has stationed 71 provincial management, disease control, and clinical experts in Suifenhe and Mudanjiang Directly participating in the rescue work, Mudanjiang City sent 151 medical personnel to support the rescue work in Suifenhe City, a total of 222 people.

China ’s “Beijing Youth Daily” WeChat official account of the WeChat account reported that the Suifenhe outbreak of imported cases began on April 5, and the media reported intensively on the morning of the 6th. The first medical team to support Suifenhe arrived at Suifenhe City People's Hospital on the evening of April 5. The report pointed out that at 18 o'clock on the 5th, the first batch of support team of 34 medical personnel of Mudanjiang Hongqi Hospital arrived at Suifenhe City People's Hospital. Mudanjiang Mayor Wang Wenli said publicly that Suifenhe is not fighting on his own, and the whole province and the city are fully supporting Suifenhe.

In addition to the more than 200 people who have gone to the "first line" for assistance, at present, Heilongjiang Province reserves 1,000 medical support forces in other cities and provincial-level medical institutions except Mudanjiang. The structural ratio of 40 nurses to 60 nurses is a team of 100 people. The internal division is divided into 4 units according to 25 people. According to the clinical needs, a step-by-step restructuring system is put into rescue work at any time.

At a higher level, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China called for a meeting on the 9th to mobilize forces from the mainland to support and strengthen the construction of medical supplies and testing laboratories in border areas and port cities to improve medical testing and admission capabilities.

Suifenhe is a small border town located in the southeast of Heilongjiang Province. It has an area of 460 square kilometers and a total population of only 70,000. It is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Mudanjiang.

"Protective materials are very tight, and the province is actively coordinating for us." On April 9, a dean of Suifenhe City People's Hospital revealed to the media that at present, the hospital's compliant protective clothing that can enter the isolation ward, the actual inventory capacity In less than five days, compliant medical N95 masks are also in short supply.

Well, the medical staff who support Suifenhe have been put in place one after another. What should I do if the medical supplies and facilities are tight? On the one hand, at the "discovery and isolation" stage, the whole province of Heilongjiang is deploying material resources to support Suifenhe. The data shows that the original nucleic acid detection capability of Suifenhe was only 96 copies / day. Now with the support of Harbin customs, the detection capability has been increased to 600 copies / day; Suifenhe has only more than 800 hotel rooms that can be used for isolation. Currently, Mudanjiang City is rapidly coordinating resources , 4,200 rooms were prepared.

More importantly, in the treatment stage after diagnosis, Suifenhe adopted a different strategy from on-site admission in large cities like Wuhan. The local epidemic prevention working group made it clear that Suifenhe People ’s Hospital and Fangcai Hospital only accept asymptomatic patients in principle, Mudanjiang Kang'an Hospital accepts light and ordinary patients, and Hongqi Hospital affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical College is responsible for the treatment of severe and critically ill patients. In other words, the confirmed cases of Suifenhe will be transported to relevant hospitals in Mudanjiang City for treatment.

Transit from Suifenhe to Mudanjiang City, about 100 kilometers, how to ensure safety during the transit? Yu Kaijiang, head of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee to Suifenhe City Epidemic Prevention and Control Working Group, responded that the Heilongjiang Provincial Epidemic Headquarters attached great importance to the increase of 8 ambulances with negative pressure in the province to solve the spread during the transshipment process And cross-infection hidden dangers; in addition, before the transfer, the patient's condition should be evaluated, if the patient is not stable, it should be processed as soon as possible before the transfer. On the way, professional medical staff will be escorted to designated hospitals throughout the journey.

It may not only be Suifenhe in Heilongjiang that needs assistance today.

On March 18, the Xishuangbanna Border Management Detachment successfully cracked down on a case involving an extraordinarily large organization and transporting others to cross the country (border). A total of 35 organizers and transporters were arrested, and 56 people crossing the country (border) were arrested. 26 vehicles successfully cut off a stowaway passageway that connects internally and externally. This reflects the grim situation of Yunnan's import of foreign epidemic prevention.

Yunnan has 8 border cities and 26 border counties bordering on Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam respectively. It has opened 19 national ports, 6 provincial ports, and 65 border lanes.]


According to the "Yunnan Daily", more than 60 repatriation points have been established on the 47km border line of 7 border villages in collaboration with the national immigration management, customs, public security and other departments of the National Party Joint Work Committee of Mengding Town, Gengma Dai and Wa Autonomous County, Lincang City. , Resolutely control all access roads and natural village passages. “On the day of April 1st, the number of non-borderers who entered China directly from each port in Yunnan fell from the previous average of 4,680 to 1,283 people, and the number of frontier people fell rapidly from the previous 20,049 to 3,687 people. The number is 74.94% lower than on March 30. "

Another example is Fujian. On April 6, Yu Weiguo, secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, hosted a three-level video conference at the provincial, municipal, and county levels. He said, "Strictly preventing the importation of foreign epidemic situations is the top priority of epidemic prevention and control, strictly preventing and controlling, and cracking down on illegal illegal activities such as smuggling at sea."

He mentioned that those who smuggle in and assist in smuggling are severely punished according to laws and regulations such as the Criminal Law, the Exit and Entry Administration Law, and the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, forming a powerful deterrent. At present, although no illegal entry has been found from the waters of Fujian Province, according to the information available, the risk of illegal entry at sea is outstanding. Yu Weiguo said, "We must reward and mobilize the masses to report and supervise, promptly discover, severely investigate and punish the illegal and criminal acts of organizing and assisting smuggling, and not let any organizers and implementers pass, so as not to let illegal immigrants escape."

Source: Agencies | 00:00 UTC+8 April 20, 2020

CHINA yesterday reported 16 new coronavirus cases but no deaths while authorities remained on guard against a resurgence and monitored the spread of cases in the northeastern Heilongjiang Province.

The National Health Commission yesterday also issued a notice asking for improvement in testing capacity and quality nationwide.

Nine of the new cases were imported infections, data from commission showed. Authorities reported that total confirmed cases across China’s mainland had risen to 82,735 with 4,632 deaths as of Saturday.

Heilongjiang has seen a rise in infected travelers arriving from Russia in recent weeks, and is now battling to contain a flare-up in local cases.

Heilongjiang has reported 39 new local cases in the past 10 days, or more than 50 percent of all new 73 locally transmitted cases reported in the Chinese mainland during the same period....
Most were related to one imported case in the provincial capital, Harbin.

Areas that are considered of medium-risk in China include two districts in Harbin, the city of Suifenhe in Heilongjiang, two districts in Guangzhou and Jiaozhou City in the eastern Shandong Province.

In urging better testing, the National Health Commission said all large general hospitals need to set up laboratories that meet certain requirements and can conduct coronavirus testing independently.

In areas under great pressure, especially at land borders, local governments should help county-level medical institutions obtain nucleic acid testing capability, the commission said.

Testing should be conducted by qualified medical institutions and independent medical laboratories, it said, adding that training for medical staff should be stepped up and testing operations standardized to reduce problems with the accuracy of testing.

Since March, an average 54,000 tests have been conducted a day in Hubei Province and that rose to 89,000 tests on April 17, Liu Dongru, a Hubei health commission official, said yesterday.

In Beijing, the number of institutions able to conduct nucleic acid testing has risen to 50 from 17 in early February....https://archive.shine.cn/nation/Heil.../shdaily.shtml

China is coping with a steady increase in domestic clusters of novel coronavirus infections triggered by people arriving from overseas as local governments intensify testing among high-risk groups to stem a resurgence of the virus.

In addition, 23 domestic asymptomatic cases were identified during the period, according to the provincial Health Commission. The other domestic case on the mainland was in Guangdong province.

Many of the locally transmitted infections in Heilongjiang are believed to be associated with a few cases in Harbin, the provincial capital, including an 87-year-old man who was recently hospitalized for stroke and infected medical workers and patients in his ward, as well as other people who had come into close contact with him.

The source of his infection was reportedly a person in close contact with a young Chinese student who studied abroad and returned to Harbin on March 19. -=from america

As the increase in locally transmitted infections underscores the menacing contagiousness of the virus, an increasing number of regions are stepping up testing to sever possible chains of community transmission.

Harbin's city government said on Saturday evening that it will conduct free nucleic acid and antibody tests on all senior high school students and their family members, as well as teachers and staff members involved in their studies. Before tests are completed, all courses will be conducted online.

Beijing has also stressed improving testing capacities to cover all groups at high risk of contracting or transmitting the virus.
