Lijiang information was leaked, and the phone number of the close contact was blown. What harm was caused to the parties concerned?

Liang Mei has been receiving calls and text messages from Lijiang. These callers kept questioning her and mocking her for spreading poison and harming her spirit. Just because she was a close contact of a confirmed case in Beijing, her information was leaked by relevant personnel after arriving in Lijiang, so the phone was bombed. In response to this matter, the Lijiang Municipal Epidemic Prevention Headquarters Office reported that due to work errors by staff in Xibuhe Township, Ninglang County, Liang Mei’s personal information was leaked in WeChat Moments, causing trouble for Liang Mei’s life. Lijiang City instructed Ninglang County to set up a working group to apologize to Liang Mei and investigate relevant units and personnel. A new case of coronavirus pneumonia was confirmed to be in close contact with Xin, and Liang Mei's name, phone number and other personal information have been refreshed in Lijiang's circle of friends in the past two days. People living in Lijiang learned that a close contact of a confirmed case from Beijing arrived in Lijiang during the New Year holiday. The widespread dissemination of information started as reminders to each other, but later evolved into cyber violence and personal attacks. Liang Mei told The Paper that on the evening of January 6, people called her one after another. Even at 3 a.m., there were strange phone calls and abusive text messages, saying that she spread drugs and harmed others.

Liang Mei said that when Beijing called her at first, she actively cooperated. She contacted the relevant person in charge of the Lijiang Hotel and the local epidemic prevention department. Epidemic prevention personnel came to check overnight and found no problem. She expressed her willingness to cooperate with the quarantine, but on January 7, the last day of the quarantine, she received strange phone calls and abusive text messages from Lijiang, which made her collapse. There were so many people texting and calling me, it was really harassing and hurtful to me, I cried all day long. As a last resort, Liang Mei chose to respond to the alarm.

In response to this matter, the Lijiang Municipal Epidemic Prevention Headquarters Office publicly reported the relevant situation. The reporter learned from the Lijiang Center for Disease Control and Prevention that the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention received a letter from a close contact confirming a case of new coronavirus pneumonia, and informed the Beijing case that the Beijing case had been in close contact with Liu. In accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention work, Lijiang City immediately tracked and observed Liang's close contacts in Lijiang, that is, Liu's second close contact with a confirmed case. After careful investigation, Lijiang City found 17 people who had close contact with Liang in Lijiang, 12 passengers and 5 hotel staff on the same flight.

In Lijiang, 10 people including 5 from Gucheng District, 2 from Ninglang County and 3 from Huaping County were separated and observed. The first nucleic acid test results were all negative, and he is in good health. Seven people in Lijiang have been sent to relevant areas for verification in accordance with regulations. The report stated that during the follow-up investigation process, due to work errors by staff in Xibuhe Township, Ninglang County, the personal information of Liang and others was leaked in WeChat Moments, which caused trouble to the lives of Liang and others. We are deeply sorry! After the incident, Lijiang City attached great importance to it and ordered Ninglang County to set up a working group to sincerely apologize to Liang. The disciplinary inspection and supervision department has set up a joint investigation team together with relevant departments, and the relevant units and personnel are being held accountable and will be dealt with seriously in accordance with the law and regulations.
