      Original title: Many confirmed cases have a history of residence at this port!

      The National Health Commission recently notified that, based on the results of the existing strains and virus sequencing, the entire genome sequence of the virus in the case has low homology with the previous domestic epidemic, suggesting that the current epidemic was caused by a new overseas import source.

      Although it is not yet clear how the cases were imported from abroad, according to the published trajectory of the cases, the Beijing Daily client noticed that in this round of the epidemic, many cases had a history of residence at the "Ceke Port" in Ejina Banner.


      The Alxa League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region reported on the details of 11 local confirmed cases on the 27th. Many people worked in the Ceke Port Economic Development Zone, including ambulance drivers, doctors, and nurses at the Mongolian Medical Hospital of Ceke Port Economic Development Zone.

      In addition, in the trajectory of the 6 cases of nucleic acid test-positive persons notified on October 19 in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province (4 confirmed cases + 2 cases of asymptomatic infection), there were 5 persons who had traveled together. Visited Ceke Port on October 13th.


      Where is Ceke Port? Public information shows that Ceke Port is located near the 572 boundary marker on the border between China and Mongolia. It is an international channel opened to the north by the Alxa League. A land port shared by the four provinces of Qinghai and Inner Mongolia.

      In 1992, Ceke Port was approved as a seasonally open port by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Government; in 2005, it was approved by the State Council as an open border land port between China and Mongolia throughout the year, with separate road passages and railway coal transportation lanes; in 2009, Ceke The port officially realized bilateral customs clearance between China and Mongolia all year round; in 2012, the Ceke Port Economic Development Zone was approved by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Government.


      Corresponding to the Ceke Port is the Sibekulun Port in the South Gobi Province of Mongolia. It radiates the five livestock products and mineral resources of Mongolian South Gobi, Bayinhonggeer, Gobi Altai, Qianhanggai and Houhanggai. Provinces.


      According to the article in September this year on the WeChat public account of Ceke Entry-Exit Border Checkpoint, Ceke Border Inspection, since 2021, Ceke Entry-Exit Border Checkpoints have inspected and released more than 70,000 people and more than 70,000 vehicles. The number of vehicles ensured the smooth customs clearance of 3.66 million tons of cargo.

      The article said that in recent days, the new crown epidemic in Mongolia has continued to worsen and spread, and cross-border cargo drivers frequently tested positive for nucleic acid samples at Ceke Port, and the risk of imported epidemic prevention has increased sharply. At the same time, as the winter heating period approaches, domestic demand for thermal coal has increased, and increasing the amount of coal customs clearance has become the primary task of Ceke Port.



      Currently, Ceke Port has been closed. Ejina Banner has a large area with sparse population and limited financial resources, and there are many difficulties in the prevention and control of the epidemic. Fan Mengguang, deputy director of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Comprehensive Disease Control and Prevention Center, said that there are three main ones:

      ①Ejina Banner is relatively large and sparsely populated, and medical resources are relatively scarce. The main reason is that there are relatively few medical personnel and prevention and control personnel. However, a large number of experts and medical workers from the state, autonomous region, and Alxa League are gathering.

      ② The condition of the epidemic cases in this round is very hidden and complicated.

      ③Due to the large area and sparse population, it is also difficult to close the port.
