2. Medium risk: there are newly confirmed cases within 14 days, with no more than 50 cumulative confirmed cases, or with more than 50 cumulative confirmed cases, and there is no cluster epidemic within 14 days;

3. High risk: the cumulative number of cases exceeds 50, and a cluster epidemic occurs within 14 days.
