Zhang Wenhong, who rarely appeared in public, finally spoke out. What important information did this speech reveal?

Zhang Wenhong first pointed out, "The new crown is not that scary, but the battle is difficult to fight." On the one hand, he affirmed that China's epidemic prevention and control work is very good, and we must have confidence, patience and confidence in prevention and control; on the other hand, he also clearly pointed out that the combined mutation of the Delta virus strain and Omicron will bring great consequences to the prevention and control work. New pressures and new challenges are coming, which require attention.

1. What model should Shanghai adopt to fight the epidemic in the future.

He pointed out that with the support of big data technology, strategic adjustments must be made continuously, and new response strategies of rolling screening, focusing on key points, and cutting off the chain of transmission must be adopted. I understand that it is necessary to adopt multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing to ensure that no one is missed, promptly discovered and treated; it is necessary to determine the location, demarcate key areas, and implement closed and precise control to ensure that the infection surface is effectively cut off. At present, the proportion of cases under rolling screening of all people in non-controlled areas in Shanghai has gradually decreased, accounting for only 10 of the total cases.

2. Questions about the new version of nucleic acid testing work guidelines.

He pointed out that my country’s new ideas, new trends, and new measures to fight the epidemic in the future must be scientific and precise. “All members” should be changed to “regions.” The size of the region will be determined by the needs of epidemic prevention and control. He suggested that "strict nucleic acid screening, accelerating the improvement of large-scale nucleic acid testing capabilities, and strengthening the coordination and precise scheduling of the whole process of 'purchasing, delivery, inspection, and reporting'" should be the focus of work, so as to have the ability to outperform Omikerong. It will not lead to the dilemma of shutting down economic life in the entire region.

3. Regarding strengthening the third vaccination for all people.

The third dose of vaccination can provide comprehensive protection, especially for the elderly, which can provide a very high level of protection against severe illness and death. According to analysis of vaccination data in Hong Kong, the effective protection rate has reached over 95%. Therefore, friends who have not yet received a booster shot should hurry up.

4. Anti-epidemic work in the coming period.

Maintaining the normalization of life must be placed as important as dynamic reset in planning and advancement. From the current point of view, the fight against the epidemic will still be a long-term and arduous task, and we cannot have a negative mentality of "lose-lose", "laying flat" and "herd immunity". It is necessary not only to control the epidemic well, but also to protect residents' lives. The fight against the epidemic has not been successful yet, life must go on.
