March 24, 2022 10:12
On March 24, 2022, Shanghai held a press conference on the city's epidemic prevention and control work. At the meeting, Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, revealed to the public that on March 23, there were 4 new local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Shanghai. 979 cases of local asymptomatic infections.
Of the 4 confirmed cases, all were found in closed-loop isolation control. Among the 979 asymptomatic infections, 878 were found in closed-loop isolation control, and the rest were found in nucleic acid screening of relevant risk groups.
The 983 positive infected persons released today have been closed-loop transferred to designated hospitals for new coronary pneumonia in Shanghai or temporary centralized isolation and treatment points for isolation treatment or isolation medical observation. The current situation is stable.
According to the relevant requirements of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and the confirmed cases announced today, the Municipal Leading Group Office for the Prevention and Control of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control has decided that the third team of Xingnan Village, Meilong Town, Minhang District, and Xu Nan Village of Huacao Town will be sent to Minhang District from now on. The third team of Pucun and No. 19, Lane 935, Miaoqiao Road, Kangqiao Town, Pudong New Area are listed as medium-risk areas, and relevant areas have implemented control measures. The risk levels of other areas in Shanghai remain unchanged.
More from the conference:

On March 24, 2022, Shanghai held a press conference on the city's epidemic prevention and control work. At the meeting, Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, revealed that yesterday, 81 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Shanghai were discharged from the hospital, and they were released from medical observation asymptomatic. 230 cases were infected, for a total of 311 cases.
Wu Jinglei: We will strengthen staffing, improve workflow, and enhance nucleic acid detection capabilities (The Paper)
At 10:00 a.m. on March 24, Shanghai held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control. Wu Jinglei, director of the Municipal Health Commission, Li Rui, deputy head of Minhang District, Fu Chen, director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and deputy director of Dachang Town, Baoshan District Mayor Yu Zhonghua introduced the latest situation of the epidemic in the city.
A reporter asked: The National Health and Medical Commission released the third edition of the new coronavirus nucleic acid detection guidelines the day before yesterday, adjusting some specific requirements. Could you please introduce, what are the main adjustments in the third edition? How did Shanghai do it?
Wu Jinglei introduced that compared with the second edition of the Guide, the third edition of the Guide has three major adjustments:
First, the delineation of nucleic acid detection areas is more refined. The "full staff" in the second edition of the "Guide" is changed to "area", and the size of the area is determined by the needs of epidemic prevention and control. Taking the regional screening in this city as an example, we adopted the method of slicing and grid-based promotion to expand the coverage of screening. During March 16-20, we carried out large-scale nucleic acid screening in key and non-key areas. Screening. On this basis, we further narrowed down and locked key areas according to the distribution of abnormal screening personnel, and based on this, we cut into pieces more scientifically, and continued to carry out accurate screening for high-risk areas. Quickly identify potential close and sub-close connections, manage risk sources in a timely manner, and speed up investigation.
The second is to shorten the time limit for nucleic acid testing to complete the task. The second edition of the "Guidelines" requires that "Cities with a population of less than 5 million should complete the nucleic acid testing task for all employees within 2 days, and cities with a population of more than 5 million should complete the nucleic acid testing task for all employees within 3 days." The third edition of the "Guide" aims at the rapid spread and strong concealment of the Omicron virus strain, and requires that nucleic acid detection in the designated area should be completed within 24 hours. This requirement is in line with the prevention and control requirements we currently adhere to, "to be fast and to stay ahead of the virus".
The third is to optimize the "collection, delivery, inspection, reporting" and other links. Nucleic acid testing is not only about the mobilization of community personnel, the maintenance of order by volunteers, the sampling and testing of medical staff, etc., but also important information support, matching scheduling of collection and inspection, rapid disposal of positive results, material guarantee, medical waste disposal, News and publicity, comprehensive coordination, etc. The third edition of the "Guide" strengthens these important links based on the experience of nucleic acid screening from all over the country, and requires all localities to set up special classes, in order to more fully realize the rapid scheduling, integration, and full realization of resources in a shorter time. Playing a role provides organizational security.
Wu Jinglei introduced that in the next step, in accordance with the requirements of the third edition of the country, we will refine the organization and implementation plan, strengthen staffing, improve work flow, and strengthen the coordination and precise scheduling of the whole process of "collection, delivery, inspection, and reporting", and summarize in practice. Experience, and continuously improve nucleic acid detection capabilities.
There are many positive infections, how can residents live and seek medical care? Response from Minhang District, Shanghai (The Paper)
At 10:00 a.m. on March 24, Shanghai held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control. Wu Jinglei, director of the Municipal Health Commission, Li Rui, deputy head of Minhang District, Fu Chen, director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and deputy director of Dachang Town, Baoshan District Mayor Yu Zhonghua introduced the latest situation of the epidemic in the city.
A reporter asked: There are many positive infected people in Minhang during this epidemic. In the past two days, Meilong and other streets and towns are still conducting closed nucleic acid screening. Some communities have been closed for several days. How can the district solve practical difficulties such as living security and medical treatment for residents?
According to Li Rui, in the past few days, Minhang District is carrying out nucleic acid screening across the region. The closure of the community has indeed brought inconvenience to everyone. Li Rui said that we have always paid attention to everyone's demands and difficulties, and have indeed found many links that need to be improved. "Vegetable baskets", "rice bags" and "medicine jars" are not trivial matters. We are still doing our best to continuously improve and optimize various safeguards.
First, make every effort to strengthen the guarantee of life services. Establish a coordination mechanism for the protection of living materials, give priority to ensuring nucleic acid testing of employees on online platforms, and increase the rate of job arrivals; integrate various social subject resources, contact state-owned enterprises, and launch supermarkets and e-commerce platforms to connect with catering companies and factories. Form a list of guaranteed supply enterprises, share distribution, and at the same time, connect with vegetable production bases in other regions and provinces and cities for direct supply; give full play to the strength of streets and towns, expand service channels, collect online collection and distribution, and offline multi-channel collection Direct delivery, issuing reminder cards for purchasing living materials, focusing on low-income families, severely disabled and unemployed, elderly living alone and other groups.
According to Li Rui, for example, Maqiao Town opened a 24-hour service hotline, expedited the launch of the "Guteng Maqiao E-commerce Platform", "customer service specialists" specialized services, and volunteers solved the "last 100 meters" delivery problem; Xinzhuang Town Charity Supermarket on the same day Procurement, packaging on the same day, and delivery to each sealed and controlled community on the same day, volunteers help deliver it to each household as soon as possible.
The second is to focus on meeting the medical needs of special groups. Make it clear that Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital is the designated medical institution for people in the closed and controlled areas to seek medical treatment due to illness, and adjust the existing general fever clinics to designated fever clinics for closed and controlled personnel; adjust the district central hospital to the designated hospital for medical treatment of personnel in the controlled area; deployment Special personnel and vehicles are used for the transfer of personnel in the closed management area; each street and town has set up a special group for medical treatment to collect statistics and meet the needs of each village; newly established medical points at the district level provide hemodialysis patients to carry out temporary emergency diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner, and coordinate with Zhongshan Hospital to provide hemodialysis Dialysis treatment of patients; for patients with daily diseases, volunteers dispense medicines on their behalf or guide online diagnosis and treatment through Internet hospitals.
At the same time, Minhang District has established a special transfer class and a volunteer team on duty 24 hours a day to implement closed-loop management of the entire transfer process to ensure the transfer and treatment of critically ill patients. On the basis of the original 120 transport, 40 commercial vehicles were added to improve the transport capacity for medical treatment.
Li Rui said that the epidemic prevention and control work this time has received the understanding, cooperation and support of the vast number of residents. I would like to express my special thanks to everyone, and to the citizens and friends of Minhang. At present, the epidemic prevention and control in our district has entered the most critical stage. We will go all out in accordance with the overall deployment and work requirements of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, and do our best to ensure the living services and medical needs of residents in the jurisdiction.
Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Health and Health Commission: A negative antigen test cannot replace a negative nucleic acid (Beijing Daily)
Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Health and Health Commission, said at the epidemic prevention and control conference held today (24th) that in order to save time for nucleic acid testing, antigen testing is currently used in the early stage of group screening in Shanghai, but antigen testing cannot be used on nucleic acid negative certificates. . At present, for confirmed or positive infections, nucleic acid testing is the basis for diagnosis.
Wu Jinglei introduced that antigen detection is characterized by simple operation and relatively short detection time, but its disadvantage is that its sensitivity is relatively poor. At present, for people diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia or positive infection, nucleic acid test is the basis for diagnosis, but antigen test is not the basis for diagnosis. Negative antigen test cannot replace negative nucleic acid.
At present, Shanghai takes advantage of the fast antigen detection, and conducts it in some specific groups and specific areas in an organized manner. Once positive, the nucleic acid is immediately re-tested, diagnosed or excluded.
