Guangzhou officially opened Pazhou makeshift hospital, facing the most severe epidemic in three years



2022-11-05 14:29



Since October , the new round of new crown epidemic in Guangzhou is still at a high level.



On November 4 , Guangzhou added 111 new local confirmed cases of the new crown, including 635 new local asymptomatic infections , a total of 746 new new crown infections , an increase of 174 cases from 572 cases the previous day , creating a new round of epidemics new highs.



This is the eighth consecutive day that Guangzhou has had more than 100 new infections, and there are still social infections among the new cases.



Zhang Yi, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission and spokesperson, said at the Guangzhou City Epidemic Prevention and Control Press Conference on November 5 that Guangzhou is currently facing the most complex and severe epidemic in the three years since the fight against the epidemic .



Pazhou Fangcai Hospital, which has been in reserve for a long time, was officially opened



According to the Guangzhou City Epidemic Prevention and Control Press Conference, since October 22 , Guangzhou has reported a total of 3,732 local infections.



According to a Caixin report, on November 4, the makeshift hospital at the Canton Fair Complex was opened to treat patients with the new crown.



Pazhou Fangcai Hospital was rebuilt from the 5 exhibition halls of the Canton Fair Complex. The center is located on Pazhou Island, Haizhu District, Guangzhou. It is the core venue for the China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), which can accommodate more than 3,000 new crown patients.



According to "Guangzhou Daily", dozens of medical staff from Guangzhou First People's Hospital have entered the hospital to prepare, and more than 3,000 beds were ready overnight. In one of the areas, each hospital bed is equipped with standardized quilts, bedside tables, sockets, wireless emergency callers and other auxiliary equipment. Facilities in other districts are being improved.



According to the Guangzhou Epidemic Prevention and Control Press Conference, Guangzhou has designated the eight hospitals affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University to treat common, severe and critically ill patients with COVID-19, and will open back-up designated hospitals, sub-designated hospitals and Fangcang shelter hospitals in due course to treat mild cases. and asymptomatic infections.



As early as April this year, Guangzhou has built Pazhou Fangcai Hospital as a backup resource.



In March of this year, the Comprehensive Group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the "Management Specifications for the Setup of Fangcang shelter hospitals", requiring provinces to build or come up with construction plans according to the situation of the epidemic to ensure that each province has at least two or three Fangcang shelter hospitals.



Since April , the construction of makeshift hospitals has been carried out in various places, including Shanghai, Nanjing, Shuozhou, Haikou and other places.



In addition , Guangzhou was experiencing a round of epidemics in Baiyun District in April . In order to expand the accommodation capacity, the government also adjusted the construction of makeshift hospitals to the schedule. On April 10 , it was revealed at a press conference on epidemic prevention and control held in Guangzhou at that time that Guangzhou was promoting the construction of a makeshift hospital in the Canton Fair Complex.



Previously, many places in my country have adopted the makeshift hospital model. The "New Coronary Virus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Ninth Trial Version)" implements centralized isolation and management requirements for light cases, and many places adopt the method of Fangcang shelter hospitals to treat light patients.



The main battlefield for epidemic prevention is Haizhu District



At present, Guangzhou is facing the most complex and severe epidemic in the past three years, and the main battlefield is located in Haizhu District.



Zhang Yi pointed out that in recent days, the number of newly infected people in Haizhu District has continued to rise in a single day, and the number of newly infected people in the control area has continued to rise, which has brought great resistance to the stabilization and control of the city's epidemic.



The epidemic has not been completely controlled for the time being, which is closely related to Haizhu's geographical location, industry characteristics, and population.



Haizhu District is located in the south of the Pearl River in Guangzhou, also known as "Henan". The main part of the district is a long island. It is connected to the surrounding administrative districts such as Yuexiu, Liwan and Tianhe through several bridges and tunnels under the river.



As one of the "Old Three Districts", Haizhu has a large population density. On the one hand, there are several urban villages in the region, among which Kangle Village is one of the largest urban villages in Guangdong. When Kangle Village and the adjacent Lujiang Village were most prosperous, the migrant population once reached about 150,000 .



According to Zhang Yi, more than 100,000 people live in one square kilometer of urban village in Kanglu area. In this regard, Zhang Zhoubin, a spokesman for the Guangzhou Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that urban villages with dense populations and small spaces have played an amplifier role in the epidemic.



On the other hand, there are many cloth distribution centers and textile business districts in Haizhu. There are wholesale markets such as Zhongda Cloth Market and Hongmian Zhongdamen on Xingang West Road. There are also many cloth markets on Xinjiao West Road, which is adjacent to Zhongda Textile Business District. The flow of people is large. According to the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, there are 59 textile wholesale markets in the Xinjiao West Road business district, with a total transaction volume of 60 billion yuan in 2019 .



Kangle Village, Lujiang Village and the surrounding textile business district are located in similar locations. The main outbreak point of the Haizhu epidemic is located in this area.



A street in Haizhu District is undergoing nucleic acid testing for all staff: Zhang Xilong


Recently, the number of newly infected people in Haizhu District is still at a high level, and it is concentrated in Kecun, Kanglu area and other control areas.



The Guangzhou City Epidemic Prevention and Control Press Conference reported on the 4th that the epidemic situation in the Kanglu area of ​​Haizhu District is still developing, and there are still sporadic cases outside the control area, and there is a risk of social transmission.



Since November 3 , citizens of Kangle Village and surrounding areas in Haizhu District have been transported overnight. In the past three days, 31,000 people have been transported to reduce the population density and prevent the occurrence of confirmed cases in the society.



Haizhu will be strictly controlled from the 4th



On the evening of November 4th , Haizhu District issued a notice of full control of the whole area. From November 5th to 7th , all buses and subways in the area will be suspended, and the flow of people will be strictly controlled.



According to the notice, citizens, except for nucleic acid testing and emergency medical treatment, are, in principle, not to go out unless it is necessary, not to visit, not to get together, and not to gather. Community communities, urban villages, and industrial parks are subject to closed management, and measures such as temperature measurement, site code scanning, and negative nucleic acid test certificates within 24 hours are strictly implemented at the entrance.



In terms of transportation, except for the subways, buses and shared bicycles that are in normal service from 6:00 am to 9:00 am on November 5th and 6th to meet the needs of test takers for the adult college entrance examination, the service of subways and buses at other times will be suspended. However, taxis and online car-hailing services in the area are normally provided. If citizens need to travel urgently, they can choose to take them.



Primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the district are suspended from returning to school and offline teaching. Off-campus training institutions suspend offline teaching, and childcare and custody institutions suspend services. All colleges, vocational colleges and technical colleges implement closed management.



This is also the seventh "control order" issued by Haizhu within two weeks. On October 23 , a positive case was found in a fever clinic in Haizhu District. On the same day, Haizhu District issued the first order to strengthen social epidemic prevention and control, requiring entertainment venues to suspend business, some streets to suspend dine-in meals, and primary and secondary schools and kindergartens to suspend returning to school.



On October 28 , Haizhu had rumors of "closing the island", and then the official refuted the rumors. Since the new cases have not reached the inflection point in the past few days, the social epidemic prevention and control has been strengthened.



In response to the three-day social prevention and control upgrade measures, Zhang Yi pointed out that the core purpose of Haizhu District's adoption of this measure is to strictly restrict the flow of people, strengthen regional nucleic acid screening, identify risk groups, block potential transmission chains, and block the spread The spillover loopholes will realize social clearance as soon as possible.



On the one hand, there are still socially infected cases in Haizhu recently, the risk of epidemic spillover is increasing, and sporadic epidemics have appeared in the surrounding areas, which is likely to lead to related epidemics. Therefore, for the whole island of Haizhu, it is particularly important to prevent the spread of the epidemic.



On the other hand, recently, there have been sporadic outbreaks in Luopu Street, Dashi Street and Zhongcun Street in Panyu District, and there is a risk of local transmission in the community. During the nucleic acid test in Baiyun District on the 4th , it was found that multiple nucleic acid mixed detection abnormalities were found outside the control area of ​​Huangshi Street and Jingxi Street.

Guangzhou added 2,637 local infections yesterday, all asymptomatic or mild patients

November 09, 2022 18:42 CCTV

  On November 9, the Guangzhou Municipal Information Office held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control. At the meeting, Zhang Yi, deputy director and spokesperson of the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, informed that from 0 to 24:00 on November 8, 2,637 new cases of local infection of the new coronavirus were added in Guangzhou, all of them asymptomatic or mild patients, 2,546 respectively. people, 91 people. Among them, 20 were found in community screening or active medical treatment, and the rest were found in isolation observation or high-risk areas. The above-mentioned infected persons have been transferred to designated hospitals, sub-designated hospitals or makeshift hospitals for isolation observation and treatment in a closed-loop. The condition is stable and there are no critically ill patients.

  There were 2,442 new cases in Haizhu District in a single day, which were still mainly concentrated in the Kanglu area of ​​Fengyang Street and the Kecun area of ​​Chigang Street. In addition, the increase in the number of infected people in the Longtan area of ​​Huazhou Street is related to the fact that some residents did not participate in the nucleic acid test after infection in the early stage, indicating that the nucleic acid investigation in the control area is still incomplete and incomprehensible.

  Zhanqian Street and Xicun Street in Liwan District are new outbreak points, showing a local gathering trend. Gene sequencing and on-site epidemiological investigation suggest that there are multiple input chains for the epidemic in this area, and there is a risk of community spread in the future, which requires great attention. The epidemics in Baiyun and Panyu are still in a stalemate and are being fully dealt with.
