China News Service, Beijing, April 12 (Zhang Yilin) Recently, the epidemic has spread in many places in China, and the number of new infections is still running at a high level. How is the epidemic situation in various places? Can asymptomatic infected people be isolated at home? On the afternoon of the 12th, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference to respond to relevant topics of public concern.

More than 320,000 local infections since March
Lei Zhenglong, deputy director of the National Health Commission's Disease Control Bureau and first-level inspector, introduced that from March 1 to April 11, 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported a total of 325,303 local infections. It affects 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). With the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures in various places, areas where new epidemics occurred can be dealt with quickly and effectively, and no new large-scale epidemics have formed.
The epidemic situation in Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shandong and other provinces is generally under control.
The epidemic situation in Jilin Province is generally declining. The number of newly infected people has dropped to less than 1,000 for three consecutive days, but it is still high; Continue to strengthen the prevention and control work in the control area.
Shanghai has reported more than 10,000 new infections for 8 consecutive days. The epidemic is in a period of rapid growth, and community transmission has not been effectively contained, and it has spilled over to many provinces and cities. It is expected that the number of new infections will remain high in the next few days. .
More than 40,000 medical personnel from 16 provinces support Shanghai
Mi Feng, a spokesman for the National Health and Medical Commission, said that at present, the epidemic is still running at a high level, and the scope of the epidemic has further expanded, and prevention and control are in a critical period. It is necessary to continue to adhere to the general policy of "dynamic clearing" without hesitation or wavering, strengthen confidence, be more determined and decisive, and implement various prevention and control measures in every link.
He pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the process of nucleic acid testing, the construction of makeshift hospitals, and the admission and treatment of infected people, so as to block social transmission as soon as possible. It is necessary to strengthen risk management and control, quickly screen, identify potential sources of infection, and timely transfer and isolate. It is necessary to effectively guarantee the people's basic life and the needs for medical treatment and purchase of medicines, and actively help solve problems. It is necessary to always do personal protection and actively vaccinate against the new crown virus, especially to accelerate the vaccination of the elderly.
According to Mi Feng, as of now, the National Health and Health Commission has dispatched more than 40,000 medical personnel from 16 provinces across the country and the ability to test 2.38 million tubes of nucleic acid per day to support Shanghai, and to carry out medical treatment and nucleic acid testing for new coronary pneumonia together with medical personnel in Shanghai. wait for work.
"Dynamic clearing" is the best choice for the current anti-epidemic
Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that my country's general policy of prevention and control is "dynamic clearing", in order to do everything possible to protect the health and safety of the people, especially the elderly vulnerable groups such as infants and young children.
He said that "lying flat" is actually a helpless choice for other countries. After many attempts, these countries could not find an ideal strategy to control the new crown, so they simply "lyed flat". After some countries "lay flat", the number of cases and deaths have risen sharply. More than two years of prevention and control practices in my country have proved that "dynamic clearing" is in line with China's actual situation, and it is the best choice for my country to control the new crown epidemic in a timely manner at this stage.
Can asymptomatic infected people be isolated at home?
Wu Zunyou said that when we diagnose a person with asymptomatic infection, some of them are likely to be in the incubation period of the confirmed case. After observing for a period of time, symptoms will appear, or even develop into severe disease. If it is not detected and accepted in time There are still risks involved with treatment.
Therefore, some of the infected people we found at a certain point were not the real asymptomatic infected people we talked about, but the incubation period of confirmed cases. These so-called "asymptomatic infected people" are still at risk for home isolation. This risk shows In two aspects: one is that it is possible to continue to spread the epidemic, and the other is that for him, if the progress of his disease cannot be found in time, he may miss the best period of treatment, and may develop into severe disease or even threaten his life. .
Maintaining hand hygiene can reduce the risk of contracting the new crown
Wu Zunyou said that in general, respiratory infectious diseases are mainly transmitted through close-range droplets, and can also be touched by hands on contaminated surfaces. Mucous membranes such as the eyes are prone to infection at this time.
He reminded that in general, the risk of human infection caused by surface contamination is relatively small, but if we repeatedly come into contact without paying attention to hand hygiene and personal protection, the risk will increase significantly. Usually, we must pay attention to hand hygiene and hand hygiene. Adhering to hand hygiene can reduce the risk of infection of the new crown from contaminated surfaces. (Finish)
