On December 21, the cover news reporter learned from the National Health Commission that recently, in order to do a good job in the prevention and control of the epidemic during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival in 2022, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council issued the "2022 New Year's Day Spring Festival Prevention and Control Work Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which clarified the specific provisions for the travel of people during the "two festivals".

Travel is strictly restricted for people in medium- and high-risk areas

The "Plan" proposes that it is necessary to strengthen the safe and orderly flow of personnel, strict travel requirements for personnel, and strictly restrict the travel of personnel in medium- and high-risk areas and counties (cities, districts, banners); personnel from other counties (cities, districts, flags) in the cities where medium- and high-risk areas are located do not need to travel, and those who really need to travel must hold a 48-hour nucleic acid test negative certificate; strictly restrict travel to medium- and high-risk areas and counties (cities, districts, banners), and do not necessarily go to other counties (cities, districts, flags) where medium- and high-risk areas are located.

In addition, strictly implement the "circuit breaker" mechanism for the management of inter-provincial tourism business activities, and immediately suspend travel agencies and online tourism enterprises operating inter-provincial group tours and "air ticket + hotel" business in provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) with medium and high-risk areas. Suspend travel agencies and online travel enterprises from operating group tours and "air tickets + hotels" at land border ports.

Personnel in high-risk positions who really need to travel need to report

Personnel in high-risk positions have more opportunities to come into contact with infected personnel, virus-contaminated items and the environment during their work, and if protection is not in place, the risk of infection is higher.

The "Plan" points out that relevant departments and enterprises and institutions should register and record high-risk posts in high-risk positions that come into contact with inbound personnel, goods, and the environment at ports, as well as high-risk personnel in centralized isolation places, designated medical institutions, fever clinics, imported cold chain food processing enterprises, etc., and strictly implement measures such as standardized protection, closed-loop management, high-frequency nucleic acid testing, and zero daily health monitoring during the work.

"During the 'two festivals', high-risk personnel should try to avoid travel, and those who really need to travel must meet the requirements of leaving the job for more than 14 days and hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours, and report it in their unit." The program mentions.

Students and migrant workers return to school at staggered peaks

Colleges and universities have a large number of students, a wide range of sources, concentrated accommodation; some enterprises have a large number of migrant workers, the workplace is densely populated, once the source of infection is introduced, colleges and universities, enterprises are prone to cluster epidemics, and in a short period of time rapidly spread and spread.

The "Plan" makes it clear that it is necessary to optimize and adjust the school's winter vacation time, stagger the peak to arrange for the spring semester to return to school, and do a good job in the management service of students who stay in school during the "two festivals". Reasonably adjust the time for enterprises to take holidays and resume work, and guide migrant workers to return to their hometowns at staggered peaks. Colleges and universities or enterprises with a large number of migrant workers may require students or migrant workers to return to school or work with a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours.

Key returnees do a good job of health monitoring

Recently, in some parts of China, there have been infections such as port handlers engaged in imported goods and staff at centralized isolation points, and some places have even caused the spread and spread of communities.

The "Plan" emphasizes that it is necessary to strengthen the investigation of key returnees. Rural areas and urban communities should do a good job of mapping and grid management of key returnees such as personnel living in counties (cities, districts, banners) where medium and high-risk areas are located within 14 days, high-risk post personnel at ports, and high-risk post personnel in centralized isolation places, designated medical institutions, and fever clinics, etc., and do a good job of health monitoring after the relevant personnel return home, and do not go out or gather unless necessary.

No more than ten people should be included in family dinner gatherings

The "Plan" is clear and strictly controls the gathering activities. In accordance with the principle of non-essential non-holding, strictly control temple fairs, large-scale theatrical performances, exhibitions and sales promotions and other activities. Holding meetings, gatherings and other activities shall control the number of people, try to hold online meetings or video conferences, and activities with more than 50 people shall formulate prevention and control plans and strictly implement various prevention and control measures.

In addition, the "Plan" advocates no more than 10 people for family dinners and gatherings, and advocates "postponing happy events, simplifying funerals, and not holding banquets", and it is really necessary to hold as small as possible the scale of activities. Catering units that undertake dinner activities such as banquets with more than 5 tables must strictly do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, ensure that dining personnel enter the dining place after implementing measures such as scanning codes, on-site temperature measurement and wearing masks, and do a good job of ventilation and disinfection of restaurants; individuals who hold banquets with more than 5 tables must report to the local community neighborhood committee or village committee to implement the local epidemic prevention and control regulations. Border townships avoid large-scale gatherings.
