National Health Commission: The existing hospital infection prevention and control measures are still effective against the Aomi Kerong variant

According to CCTV news client news, Lei Zhenglong, deputy director of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health and Health Commission, said at a press conference held by the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council today that Tianjin, Guangzhou, Changsha and other places in China have reported the imported cases of the Aomi Kerong variant, and some regions have reported local cases caused by the import of the Aomi Kerong variant, which prompts us to not relax our precautions against the Aomi Kerong variant. In the near future, the National Health Commission will focus on strengthening the prevention and control of the Omikerong variant from the following aspects.

The first is to adhere to the principle of "the same defense of characters" and strengthen the import of external defense at ports. Implement the deployment of the joint prevention and control mechanism "Notice on Strengthening the Prevention and Control of the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic in Port Cities", and strictly implement the closed-loop management of the whole process of entry personnel. For personnel in high-risk positions at ports, implement prevention and control requirements such as standardized protection, closed-loop management, and high-frequency nucleic acid testing. Increase the proportion of high-risk countries entering the country for sampling, and do a good job of preventive disinfection of the surface of goods.

The second is to strengthen the management of centralized isolation sites and strictly prevent cross-infection. Strictly implement prevention and control requirements such as standardized protection and closed-loop management for staff in centralized isolation sites. Implement measures such as quarantined personnel not going out, staggering peaks to take meals, and avoiding conversations to prevent cross-infection. Strengthen ventilation and disinfection measures in public areas of isolation points and carry out terminal disinfection of contaminated areas. Strict standards for the lifting of quarantined personnel, and only those who meet the negativeness of three samples of people, objects and environment can be lifted from isolation. For those who are found to be positive for nucleic acid tests in centralized isolation places, it is necessary to immediately trace back the flow adjustment, recalculate and extend the isolation time for risky personnel.

The third is to strengthen monitoring and early warning. Pay close attention to the epidemic situation of the global and China's neighboring countries of the Aomi Kerong variant strain, strengthen the monitoring of the new variant strain, carry out viral gene sequence determination for all eligible imported cases, inbound items and related environmental positive samples, such as the sequencing result is a new variant strain such as Aomi Kerong, immediately report to the local joint prevention and control mechanism (leading group, command), organize experts to study and judge the risk of epidemic transmission, strengthen targeted prevention and control measures, and resolutely carry out epidemic disposal.

The fourth is to strengthen emergency handling of the epidemic. Immediately after the outbreak of the epidemic, the emergency command system was activated. Complete the investigation of the core epidemiological information as soon as possible, accurately delineate and control the relevant risk groups and areas, and timely trace and determine the close contacts and close contacts and close contacts and transfer them to centralized isolation sites. More emphasis is placed on the implementation of the "four early" measures to control the spread and spread of the epidemic.

In addition, the existing infection prevention and control measures in medical institutions in China are still effective against the Omicron variant, and the existing prevention and control measures must still be adhered to in the infection prevention and control work in medical institutions. It is necessary to further improve the epidemic prevention and control plan and process of this institution, implement the pre-examination triage and the responsibility system for the first diagnosis, carry out closed-loop management and nucleic acid testing for fever patients, and enhance the awareness and ability of "early detection". All personnel in medical institutions shall implement standard preventive measures, and newly hospitalized patients, accompanying personnel and staff of the institution shall undergo nucleic acid testing. Develop emergency plans and conduct drills in different situations to ensure that once covid-19 infection is found, it can be dealt with accurately and quickly.
