On October 12, the Qingdao Municipal Health Committee of Shandong Province announced that as of 23:00 on October 11, a total of 6 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 6 asymptomatic infections were found in Qingdao, all of which are highly related to Qingdao Chest Hospital .
The reporter noticed that the Shandong Provincial Party Committee has set up a forward headquarters in Qingdao to mobilize the province’s mobile forces for flow reconciliation and testing to provide support in Qingdao. The National Health Commission sent a working group to guide the local epidemic prevention and control work. Many experts pointed out that as the global fight against the pandemic enters the deep waters, China must consolidate its hard-won results in the fight against the pandemic and maintain normalization of epidemic prevention and control measures.
The epidemic has re-occurred, and the Municipal Chest Hospital has closed and closed
Since the discovery of two cases of asymptomatic infection at the end of September, the Qingdao epidemic that has been stable for many days has changed again in the past two days.
On October 11, the Qingdao Municipal Health Commission issued a notification: Qingdao has added 3 new cases of asymptomatic infections with new coronavirus pneumonia. After epidemiological investigations, the expert team preliminarily determined that the above 3 cases of asymptomatic infections are related to the Municipal Chest Hospital. Some independent areas of the hospital are responsible for the admission and treatment of imported new coronavirus infections. The specific source of infection is under further investigation. .
At present, Qingdao Chest Hospital has closed the diagnosis, and Qingdao Third People’s Hospital has also closed the diagnosis as a backup hospital.
The reporter noticed that among the three “asymptomatic infected persons” confirmed on October 11, one had been in a chest hospital, one was an escort at the chest hospital, and the other was the accompanying husband, who was a rental Car driver. It is understood that the company to which the taxi driver is affiliated stated that it had killed the above-mentioned driver’s vehicle and was investigating its trajectory. The replacement driver’s nucleic acid test was negative and he was isolated in accordance with regulations.
After the outbreak, Qingdao immediately organized a team of provincial and municipal medical experts, one person, one strategy, and active treatment. The patient is currently in a stable condition.
1.03 million samples have been sampled for nucleic acid testing, and no new infection has been found
Qingdao City has formulated and initiated a full-staff testing program to thoroughly investigate possible infected persons. Community testing is accelerating. Within three days, the five districts of Shinan, Shibei, Licang, Laoshan, and Chengyang will be fully covered, and the city will be fully covered within five days, and the test results will be released in time.
On October 12, many Qingdao residents told reporters that they had received a notification from the community requesting nucleic acid testing. Ms. He, who lives in the southern district of the city, said that her company requires employees who have recently visited a chest hospital to isolate themselves at home and actively cooperate with nucleic acid testing. “The company issued a notice that morning that colleagues from other places are not allowed to come to Qingdao for work in the near future.”
According to Chen Wansheng, deputy director of the General Office of the Qingdao Municipal Government, as of 17:30 on October 12, Qingdao has completed 1,171 close contacts, close contacts of close contacts, general contacts, medical staff, hospitalized patients and escorts. A total of 1,038,785 samples were taken for nucleic acid testing of a population of 1,037,614 people and society, and 3,129,77 test results have been obtained. Except for the 9 positive nucleic acid test results announced in the morning of the same day, all other nucleic acid test results were negative, and no new positive infections have been found so far.
On October 12, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, stated on Weibo that due to China’s early anti-epidemic success, there are currently basically no cases of local transmission nationwide. Even if there is a local epidemic like Qingdao, it can be “dynamically cleared” through expanded testing to achieve the most cost-effective anti-epidemic effect.
The community where the chest hospital is located is set as a medium-risk area, and other areas remain unchanged
Under the guidance of the national and Shandong expert groups, the Qingdao Municipal Public Security and Disease Control Departments, together with relevant districts and cities, made full use of big data technology to track, and have basically mastered 6 confirmed cases and 6 asymptomatic infections September 22 to October The activity track on the 10th implemented health management measures for all close contacts, close contacts of close contacts, and general contacts that have been investigated.
Strengthen the control and environmental elimination of key populations and key areas. The residential communities involved in confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections, the municipal chest hospital, the emergency department of the central hospital, as well as the Jiangxi Road Jingjiu Pork Ribs Rice, Zhoukou Road Jiajiayue Supermarket and other areas they have visited were fully closed overnight. And complete elimination of relevant places.
Strengthen the active monitoring of fever clinics, and standardize the monitoring, reporting, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and hospital control of suspicious cases. Special attention will be paid to personnel in fever clinics and sentinel sites in hospitals with symptoms of fever and fatigue. Observation measures are strictly implemented before nucleic acid test results are issued.
In response to the impact of the epidemic on Qingdao’s risk level, Zhang Huaqiang, deputy director of the Qingdao Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that the confirmed cases were not found in the community, but were found in hospital screening, and the cases were immediately transferred to designated hospitals for isolation treatment. In view of the low risk of community transmission, no confirmed cases have been found in the community. According to the principle of scientific accuracy, the Loushanhou community where the Municipal Chest Hospital is located is designated as a medium-risk area, and residents in the area are isolated or healthy based on exposure risk For management measures, other regional risk levels in Qingdao remain unchanged.
There have been local epidemics in many places before, and the prevention and control experience provides an effective reference for Qingdao
Qingdao’s encounter with this resistance war is no stranger to the whole country. From Xinfadi in Beijing to Dalian in Liaoning to Urumqi in Xinjiang, in the normalized epidemic prevention and control of our country, we have accumulated experience in response and disposal in cities with a population of over 10 million, port cities, and border ethnic regions, and achieved 2-3 incubation periods The important effect of effectively controlling the epidemic within the country.
Immediately initiate emergency response after discovering the epidemic, scientifically delineate risk-level areas, quickly carry out flow traceability, and implement precise management and control of the community. In response to the high flow of people in Xinfadi market, complex personnel structure, and high risk of epidemic spread, Fengtai District, Beijing launched a wartime mechanism on June 13 to close Xinfadi agricultural wholesale market and implement closed management of 11 surrounding communities. On June 15th, after the second level of prevention and control was initiated in the communities of the city, an epidemiological survey was carried out through the “knock on the door” to investigate nearly 200,000 people who have been to the Xinfadi market since May 30, and then the community was the unit Carry out nucleic acid testing nearby.
Expand prevention with nucleic acid testing as the core, and strive to achieve full coverage of personnel testing in the local city within 3-4 days. On the basis of completing the nucleic acid test for all employees in the main urban area, Dalian City has conducted nucleic acid tests every 3 days for people in the 20 Wafang, Yutun, and Songjiacun areas with more cases in the Dalian Bay area. There are confirmed cases (asymptomatic). The building units of the infected persons are strictly closed and managed.
In the community of Yongjia Road, Qingdao, on the evening of the 11th, staff wearing full protective clothing started work at the community site. In the night, residents wearing masks lined up to register and receive samples under the guidance of medical workers.
Resolutely centralized quarantine, prepare a sufficient number of quarantine places, and all infected, close contacts, and sub-closed persons are all quarantined together. Through epidemiological investigations, Xinjiang quickly traced out the close contacts of the Urumqi epidemic, implemented centralized medical observations, implemented strict home control measures for the peripheral personnel of close contacts, and reported body temperature daily to quickly cut off possible transmission. Ways to strengthen the management and control measures for high-risk groups, and provide strong support for the effective and orderly implementation of epidemic prevention and control.
In addition, Tengkong Hospital’s centralized admission and treatment and daily release of epidemic information have also been effectively practiced in the prevention and control of many local epidemics, and played an important role in the rapid and safe handling of the epidemic.
These valuable experiences and practices are bound to provide important guidance for responding to the Qingdao epidemic.
Mr. Zhu, who lives in Jinan City, Shandong Province, passed through Laixi City, Qingdao on September 23. After reporting the situation to the community grid member WeChat, the clinic at the gate of his community opened a special inspection area that night. Here, Mr. Zhu completed the entire process from swiping his ID card to collecting a throat swab. “In the middle of the night, I experienced super strong organization, mobilization and execution ability.” He wrote in the circle of friends.
Issue emergency notices in many places and take measures to respond quickly
It is understood that at present, many places in China have successively issued emergency notices related to the Qingdao epidemic, and adopted measures to respond quickly and prevent them.
The leading group (headquarters) of the Jinan Municipal Party Committee for Coordinating Epidemic Prevention and Control and Economic Operation Work held a video dispatch meeting to make emergency deployments for epidemic prevention and control. Since September 23rd, the repatriated persons in Qingdao have undergone 2 nucleic acid tests and 1 serum antibody test (24 hours between the two nucleic acid tests) as required. From now on, Qingdao new economic personnel shall be strictly controlled in accordance with the prevention and control requirements of “2+1+7″ (that is, 2 nucleic acid tests, 1 serum antibody test, and 7-day health monitoring).
The Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention urgently reminded that, especially those who have been to Qingdao Chest Hospital since September 27, have been in contact with patients in the hospital, have had contact with the above-mentioned people, have been in contact with recent immigrants from Qingdao and Qingdao. Citizens in Shibei District should take the initiative to report relevant information to their communities, accept community health management and perform nucleic acid tests as required, and actively cooperate with other relevant prevention and control measures of the local government.
Many places in Northeast China also issued notices to remind residents to pay attention to the Qingdao epidemic. For example, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Dalian, Liaoning Province issued an emergency reminder on the 11th through the “Dalian Release” WeChat official account: They currently live in Dalian and have an intersection with the asymptomatic infections in Qingdao, especially those who have been there since September 27 Qingdao Chest Hospital, people who have been in contact with hospital patients, people who have had contact with the above-mentioned people, people who have come into contact with recent immigrants from Qingdao and citizens in Shibei District of Qingdao, actively call the consultation hotlines of Dalian CDCs at all levels and take the initiative Report the relevant situation to the community where you live, and you can go to the medical institution for nucleic acid testing by yourself, and implement the relevant prevention and control measures.
The global epidemic has entered the second round of outbreaks, and normalized prevention and control cannot be relaxed at all
As the weather in the northern hemisphere turns cooler, the epidemic situation in Europe has become increasingly severe, and new cases in a single day in many countries have frequently hit new highs. Data released by France on the 9th showed that there were 20,339 newly confirmed cases nationwide in the past 24 hours, and the number of new cases in a single day exceeded 20,000 for the first time, which is a new high since the outbreak. Hungary, Romania, Spain and many other countries have been caught in the test of a re-emergence of the epidemic and a new record of increasing cases. In this regard, experts believe that although my country has basically blocked domestic transmission, the emergence of the Qingdao epidemic shows that there can be no slack in adhering to normalized epidemic prevention and control measures.
“At present, there are very few places with the new coronavirus in China. There are mainly a few places. One is the hospital where the confirmed case or the nucleic acid screening is positive, and the second is the hospital where the confirmed case or the nucleic acid screening is positive among the immigrants. Locally, the third is the laboratory, and the fourth is the contaminated frozen food.” said Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiology expert of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Looking at the epidemic situation in Beijing Xinfadi, Dalian, Urumqi, Shenzhen, Yunnan Ruili, Qingdao and other places There is still the possibility of another epidemic in our country. It is still necessary to maintain the awareness of normalized prevention and control and implement normalized prevention and control measures.
According to Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, as the global fight against the epidemic has entered the deep water zone, China must maintain its current anti-epidemic results and prepare for the next step of global opening up. “China’s vaccine research and development is currently showing relatively good progress and momentum. Through vaccine protection and expanded testing and quarantine, China should be able to cope with the ever-changing world.”
“In the absence of large-scale clinical application of vaccines, the number of cases is increasing, and the trend of a second outbreak of the epidemic is inevitable.” said Yang Gonghuan, former deputy director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, although the current base of existing viruses in China is very low. , But if you do not pay attention to prevention and control, the risk of virus outbreak and spread still exists. In the normalized epidemic prevention and control stage, some necessary prevention and control measures must still be adhered to, and the awareness of epidemic prevention and control should penetrate into the daily lives of ordinary people. “This is right, we must stick to it.”
