Some netizens said that Shanghai began to arrange flowers on a large scale. Is it appropriate to do this in an epidemic situation?

Affected by the epidemic situation in COVID-19, the implementation of the protection work has encountered great difficulties. In recent days, many photos of "Flower Arrangement on Huashan Road" have been widely circulated on the Internet, and some netizens said that Shanghai is gradually laying flowers on a large scale. Today (May 1 1), the reporter who published the daily newspaper learned from the landscaping units in Shanghai that "flower arranging" is the routine maintenance of pavement flower boxes.

The landscaping unit in Changning District, to which the cyber explosion photos belong, shows that the flower box in Changning District of Huashan Road was recently damaged due to the COVID-19 epidemic, and the maintenance work that should have been carried out in April 2022 has been postponed so far. The flowers and plants in the flower box have basically withered recently, and some soil layers in the flower box have worms. In addition, the recent increase in precipitation will continue to harm our city. Therefore, combined with the recent disinfection work, landscaping maintenance enterprises will upgrade the flowers and soil in the flower box as a whole.

It is understood that due to the consideration of low carbon and environmental protection, the vast majority of replaced flowers are cheap and fine grass flowers. The reporter learned that the maintenance of pavement flower boxes is to adjust the information according to the actual situation of flower boxes. For example, the Xuhui section of Huashan Road, because the flowers planted in the previous wave gradually withered, the green capacity units in Xuhui District were maintained in the middle and late April.

Before maintenance, the flower boxes and flowers on the pavement have basically lost the actual effect of garden landscape. The landscaping and city appearance unit said that before the outbreak of COVID-19, if the flower landscape is poor, they will be responsible for the maintenance work. However, due to the epidemic situation in COVID-19, the implementation of maintenance work encountered great difficulties. Therefore, the implementation of maintenance work has been basically postponed for a period of time recently, so please understand the application of our friends.

"The situation of epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai has improved, enterprise registration is returning to work in an orderly manner, and the former' fireworks' will eventually return. Everyone is also looking forward to changing colorful flowers and plants as soon as possible, so that ordinary people can shine at the moment, feel the happiness of life, and pursue a perfect and happy life together. " The person in charge of the Shanghai landscaping unit said.
