At present, the global epidemic situation is still in the stage of the pandemic, the epidemic situation in many countries and regions is in an outbreak situation, and the domestic epidemic situation is characterized by many points, wide coverage and frequent occurrence. Recently, a local cluster of outbreaks mainly based on the Aomi Kerong mutant strain has occurred in many parts of the country at the same time, and imported cases have been reported in many places in the province.
How to objectively view the harm of the Ami kerong mutant strain? How can groups that cannot be vaccinated due to physical reasons be protected?
The reporter contacted and interviewed experts from the Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention
Reporter: How do you view the harm of the Ami kerong mutant strain?
Zhang Yi, director of the Institute of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention: At present, the epidemic data at home and abroad show that the currently circulating Aomi Kerong mutant strain has a fast spread speed and strong concealment, and it is more difficult to prevent and control. Even outdoors, absolute safety is not guaranteed and masks should be worn. When coughing and sneezing, avoid others with your head down and cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief or tissue.
In addition, although the proportion of severely ill patients in confirmed cases is relatively low, there are still severe and critical cases. Among them, the damage caused by the new crown pneumonia is superimposed with the damage caused by the patient's underlying disease, which is an important reason for the deterioration of the patient's condition. The Omiljung variant strain poses a serious threat to special groups such as elderly patients and patients with severe underlying diseases, especially for people with poor basic conditions and low immunity such as long-term bed rest and hemodialysis patients.
Therefore, from the perspective of the current domestic epidemic situation, it is necessary to protect the health rights and interests of the people and adhere to the general policy of "dynamic zeroing" without wavering. We should continue to adhere to scientific protection, continue to strengthen vaccination, move forward the resources of severe disease treatment, and achieve early detection and early intervention of severely ill patients.
In particular, the general public is reminded that people who meet the conditions for vaccination and do not have contraindications to vaccination should complete the full vaccination of the new crown virus vaccine as soon as possible. After completing the full vaccination for half a year, the booster injection should be given as soon as possible.
Reporter: How should groups that cannot be vaccinated due to physical reasons, especially those who are elderly and have underlying diseases, do they do a good job of protection?
Zhang Yi, director of the Institute of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention: At present, the new crown virus vaccine plays an important role in preventing severe illness and death, mainly in the fact that the vaccine is safe and effective, the measures are simple and easy, the effect is relatively long-lasting, and compared with other measures that need to be taken continuously and repeatedly (such as nucleic acid testing and social distancing), the protection role can be played for a long time after vaccination. For some reason, some special populations are not vaccinated in time, and other protective measures need to be taken to protect these people, because unvaccinated elderly people or people with underlying diseases are at high risk of severe illness and death after infection.
Other protective measures include trying not to go to crowded places and confined spaces to reduce close contact with strangers or outsiders; wearing masks when contacting strangers or going to indoor public places and taking public transportation; continuing to maintain hand hygiene, washing hands frequently, disinfecting hands, trying not to touch the eyes, nose, mouth and other parts with your hands; ventilating frequently and keeping the indoor air fresh; family members or staff in contact with the elderly should also be vaccinated, especially personal protection; if you find that your health code is abnormal, Try not to come into contact with the elderly again.
At present, a number of districts, counties and development zones in Xi'an have carried out a new round of nucleic acid screening.
Many citizens wonder why large-scale nucleic acid testing is being carried out. What are the new changes in the epidemic prevention and control situation in Xi'an? What is the next focus of epidemic prevention?
Experts from the Xi'an Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention answered the question
The itinerary of confirmed cases has been announced that many public places are high-risk areas
On April 3, Xi'an City added a new locally confirmed case, this case is on March 29 and her husband from other counties to xi'an, engaged in express logistics work, the two cases have multiple activity trajectories in Xi'an city before the centralized isolation. The city quickly took action to determine the risk points of the epidemic, immediately carried out mapping, control, circulation traceability, nucleic acid detection and other work, and immediately tested antigens for those who had been in contact.
Hu Ni, a science popularization expert at the Xi'an Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that because the two cases that have been found have been to many public places including multiple restaurants before isolation and control, as well as some public toilets, gas stations, shopping malls and other places, the above places are high-risk areas for virus transmission, and the flow of people in the above places is also relatively large, so the close connection to the relevant restaurants needs to be controlled.
Experts said that at present, the itinerary of confirmed cases in Xi'an has been announced, and the public does not need to panic excessively. "The purpose of conducting a new round of nucleic acid testing as soon as possible is to better respond to the latest epidemic situation in the city, because nucleic acid testing can find out the risk personnel as soon as possible, so as to achieve early detection and early treatment, and also block the social spread as soon as possible, so as to avoid the hidden spread of the epidemic and make the epidemic prevention situation in Xi'an passive." Hunni said.
Early detection of the risk of transmission prevents insidious transmission of the virus
Many citizens said that most of the Qingming holiday was not out at home, and there was no need to participate in nucleic acid testing?
To this Hunni responded, it was necessary. "Because the infection of new crown pneumonia not only exists between people, but also in things. Therefore, in order to eliminate the risks as soon as possible, nucleic acid testing needs the active cooperation of the whole people, especially the elderly and children. She also reminded the general public that when doing nucleic acid testing, in order to avoid making the nucleic acid testing point a source of cross-infection, you must wear a mask before going out, and carry a spare mask at the same time. During the waiting period for testing, one should consciously maintain a distance of one meter line, do not take off the mask in advance to wait, the current person has done and put on the mask, the staff has disinfected their hands and then take off the mask; the second is to leave in time after the nucleic acid test is completed, do not stay, do not spit, and avoid cross infection in the process of nucleic acid testing.
Some citizens also asked, what should I do if I recently received a time-space accompanying TEXT message prompt?
Hu Ni said that the content of the text message is mainly to require the relevant population to conduct two nucleic acid tests within 72 hours, if not done, the green code of one code will become a yellow code. "Where the above text message is received, the relevant population needs to do nucleic acid testing in time for the first time to cooperate with epidemic prevention measures; the second is to require them to do a good job of personal protection in the case of two nucleic acid tests within 72 hours but the results are not completely out, try not to take public transportation, do not go to public places; and actively report to the community, if there are other epidemic prevention measures, they must comply with them."
"External defense input" is still important to travel and do not forget to do a good job of protection
Experts remind that according to the current overall epidemic prevention situation in Xi'an, "external prevention input" is still the top priority. Epidemic prevention and control requires the participation and joint protection of the whole people, to implement the epidemic prevention measures in detail, the following links need special attention: first, pay attention to the period of public transportation, especially trains, planes, etc., must be strictly worn masks, and as far as possible to maintain a certain distance from others; second, during the ride, do not touch the outer surface of the mask back and forth, and even pull the mask down to the chin, which is likely to cause the exposure of personnel infection; third, during the ride, if there is a need for dining, Be sure to keep the eating time as short as possible, and the shorter the exposure time, the better.
Epidemic prevention and control
Participation of all
Our cities will be safer
Once again, we remind the general public and friends to pay attention to personal protection every day, scientifically standardize the wearing of masks, wash hands frequently, and maintain a safe distance of more than one meter. If you find that a relative or friend may be from a medium- to high-risk area of the country within 14 days, please
Promptly persuade the other party to do a good job in nucleic acid testing and health monitoring to eliminate risks.
