Shanghai's epidemic prevention began to be statically controlled throughout the region. Why is the local epidemic so serious?

Since March 1 day, 2022, the number of newly confirmed cases and asymptomatic infection cases in Shanghai has increased. As of March 9, there have been more than 20 confirmed cases and more than 200 asymptomatic infected people in Shanghai. Judging from their places of residence and work, these COVID-19-infected people are distributed in almost eight districts. At present, the number of positive confirmed cases in COVID-19 has exceeded double digits or even approached three digits, and some slightly mocking and accusing voices have begun to appear on the Internet.

In this wave of epidemic situation, the epidemic situation in Shanghai was finally "solved", and it was admitted that one of the sources of this wave of epidemic situation was related to the negligence of epidemic prevention in Hua Ting hotels. In fact, even in the face of this severe epidemic situation, scientific epidemic prevention and accurate epidemic prevention are still important principles of epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai. Although we are now facing a severe epidemic situation, on the whole, Shanghai's epidemic control measures are tightening, but Shanghai has not "closed the city" and "stopped" in this wave of epidemic, and still insists on reducing the impact of epidemic prevention and control on the public as much as possible under controllable circumstances. On the other hand, because the global epidemic situation is difficult to eliminate in a short time, high-intensity epidemic prevention will have a great negative impact on economic activities.

Moreover, Shanghai's precise prevention and control is not just to isolate positive confirmed patients and close contacts, as some people think. In fact, once COVID-19 infected people are diagnosed, it is also a huge group under control. All residents who have close contact with the building where they live will be locked up, isolated at home for a few days and subjected to multiple nucleic acid tests. I'm afraid the problem with this epidemic in Shanghai is that when the severity of the epidemic exceeds the upper limit of the original epidemic prevention plan, the intensity of epidemic prevention has not been improved in time to deal with it.

However, judging from the current situation, Shanghai has also begun to appropriately improve its epidemic prevention efforts. In some areas, all nucleic acids have been carried out, and the restrictions on entering and leaving Shanghai have also landed.

I'm afraid it will take some time for the epidemic to subside. Whether it can subside as soon as possible depends more on the following epidemic prevention policies and efforts.
