2022 Huaian City Epidemic Prevention and Control Questions and Answers
1. Why insist on "dynamic clearing"?
Answer: "Dynamic clearing" is the key to my country's fight against the new crown epidemic General policy for the pneumonia epidemic. Our country has always adhered to the concept of "people first, life first" and took firm measures to contain the spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic from the beginning. The core connotation of "dynamic clearing" is to quickly detect and contain an epidemic when it occurs, cut off the spread of the virus, and prevent the epidemic from causing sustained community spread. "Dynamic clearing" is not the pursuit of complete "zero infection" or "zero tolerance", because the uniqueness of the Omicron variant is that it is highly concealed. When measuring its harm, it is necessary to consider its transmissibility and the impact of the disease on individuals. Factors such as the degree of harm to the population, occurrence of death and severe disease, virus mutation, etc. should be comprehensively considered. We have no way to prevent cases from occurring, but we must be able to detect and deal with them quickly so as not to cause sustained community transmission or a large-scale rebound of the epidemic.
2. What should we pay attention to in response to the new coronavirus mutant strain?
Answer: First of all, take personal protection. When at home, you should ventilate, clean and disinfect, pay attention to personal hygiene, monitor your personal health, and seek medical advice promptly if symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc. appear. When going out, wear a mask correctly, take personal protection, strengthen hand hygiene, maintain social distance, avoid going to poorly ventilated or crowded places, and try not to participate in parties, dinners and other activities. Secondly, be fully vaccinated. Current research shows that the Omicron variant does not completely escape immunity from existing vaccines. Full vaccination can still effectively reduce the risk of hospitalization, severe illness and death caused by the Omicron variant. Booster vaccination can also effectively reduce the risk of breakthrough infection caused by the Omicron variant. People who have not been vaccinated should be vaccinated as soon as possible, and people who have not been fully vaccinated should be vaccinated as soon as possible. For those eligible for booster vaccination, homologous booster immunization or sequential booster immunization should be carried out as soon as possible at the specified interval. Finally, comply with epidemic prevention policies. Pay close attention to local clusters of epidemics in the country, avoid traveling to affected counties unless necessary, and residents of affected areas should not leave their place of residence unless necessary. Comply with the relevant regulations on epidemic prevention and control in your community, work unit and various places, and consciously comply with prevention and control requirements such as health code checking, temperature measurement, Huaishangtong place code scanning, and nucleic acid testing.
3. What are asymptomatic infections?
Answer: Asymptomatic infections of the new coronavirus refer to those without relevant clinical symptoms, such as fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, etc. Those who can self-perceive or clinically recognize symptoms and signs, but have positive COVID-19 pathogen tests in respiratory and other specimens. Asymptomatic infections are not confirmed cases, but after a period of observation, symptoms may appear, or lesions are found on lung CT examination, that is, they become confirmed patients; they may still have no symptoms.
Because asymptomatic infected persons have viruses in their bodies, they are also contagious and must be controlled in a timely manner. Close contact inspections, screening of high-risk groups, and control measures in corresponding places are also required.
At present, we mainly proactively detect asymptomatic infections through the following channels:
First, active testing of close contacts of new coronavirus pneumonia cases during medical observation;
The second is active testing during the investigation of cluster epidemics;
The third is active testing of exposed groups during the tracking of the source of infection of new coronavirus pneumonia cases;
The fourth is to carry out active testing for some people with travel and residence histories in areas where new coronavirus pneumonia cases continue to spread at home and abroad.
