Recently, the local cluster of epidemics on the mainland has shown the characteristics of many points, wide coverage and frequent occurrences, and the epidemic prevention and control work is still facing severe challenges. Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that even in the face of the Aomi Kerong mutation, as long as active and effective epidemic prevention measures are taken, it can still be controlled. "I hope you will strengthen your confidence."

Can this round of epidemics be "managed"?
Zhang Boli believes that at present, many countries in the world have been "lying flat", and the most concerned question of the mainland people is whether the multi-point sporadic and local-scale outbreak caused by the Aumi kerong mutation at this stage can be effectively controlled. The experience of epidemic prevention and control in the mainland proves that with effective government administrative measures and the active cooperation of the broad masses, the goal of accurate prevention and control and dynamic zero can be achieved, and even if there is a local-scale outbreak of the epidemic, it can still be quickly controlled.
"Therefore, I believe that even in the face of the Aumechjong mutant strain, as long as effective measures are taken, it is still preventable and controllable." Everyone should strengthen their confidence. Chamberlain said.

Why are asymptomatic infected people in this outbreak
Large number of people, high proportion?
Zhang Boli said that the large number and high proportion of asymptomatic infected people are the obvious characteristics of this round of epidemic. He explained that the emergence of this new feature is first related to the characteristics of the Omikejong mutant strain itself, the Infectivity of the Omikejong mutant strain is enhanced, but the toxicity is relatively weakened, the clinical symptoms will be relatively mild, and many infected people do not show clinical symptoms in a short period of time after infection.
In addition, Chamberlain believes that this is related to the timely screening of the mainland and the early detection of infected people; it is also closely related to the increasing vaccination rate. He said that after the emergence of the epidemic, large-scale screening has been carried out everywhere, because it was found earlier, and many patients are still in the early stage of infection and have not yet developed symptoms of infection. "In addition, mainland residents have been vaccinated on a large scale, and the body's immunity of the population has increased."
Is the covid-19 case still contagious?
Zhang Boli introduced that a small number of new crown cases have reappeared, but they are no longer contagious, which has been recognized by most experts around the world. Up to now, no cases of Fuyang infection of others have been found. He said that in the treatment process of new crown pneumonia infected people, the use of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine will further reduce the rate of rejuvenation, and the current "treatment and rehabilitation integration" intervention model adopted in Tianjin and other places has also played a significant role in reducing fuyang.

What other suggestions are there for epidemic prevention and control?
"For the increase in asymptomatic infections, it should not be taken lightly." Zhang Boli said that "Western medicine is asymptomatic, Chinese medicine has evidence", and it is necessary to pay active attention to asymptomatic infected people, especially those who are old, have underlying diseases, weak physique, obesity, and bad life habits. One is that although there are no symptoms, it is also contagious; the other is that there are no symptoms today, and some patients may have symptoms in two or three days. Therefore, it is advisable to adopt the treatment strategy of "treating the symptoms first and cutting off the disease situation", which can promote the conversion of nucleic acid to negative according to the symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine.
He said that for mild diseases, it cannot be ignored, and the key is early intervention. The new version of the plan points out that mild patients will be centrally isolated and managed, which means that mild diseases can not go to the hospital, and can go to the cabin or hotel for isolation and observation. Not going to the hospital can avoid the squeeze of medical resources for patients with mild diseases, but it is not possible to not treat, especially for the high-risk groups mentioned above, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine has a definite effect.
"Epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, ventilating frequently, and gathering less still need to be done well." Zhang Boli stressed that these effective epidemic prevention measures must be adhered to for a long time.
