One case in Laizhou City was detected among people in centralized isolation and was the co-resident of the asymptomatic infection reported on the 23rd.

Epidemic prevention measures

In order to effectively block the spread of the virus and achieve dynamic social clearing as soon as possible, we will further intensify our efforts:

First, coordinate efforts at all levels Focus on eradicating the epidemic. In order to quickly curb the spread of the epidemic, the provincial, municipal, and county levels jointly established an on-site epidemic prevention and control headquarters, established ten on-site emergency response working groups, and organized personnel to rush to Zhaoyuan overnight in the early morning of the 24th. Under the scientific and powerful guidance of provincial experts, Get to work quickly. Coordinate and mobilize the city's resources, go all out to support Zhaoyuan, and resolutely win the battle of epidemic prevention, control and annihilation.

The second is to continue to carry out in-depth tracing of the source of the epidemic. The provincial, municipal and county level three-level flow investigation teams are working day and night to investigate the movement trajectories of positive persons and important related personnel. The city has investigated 1,700 close contacts and 3,179 sub-close contacts, and all have implemented isolation control measures. The whole genome sequencing of the virus was carried out immediately. So far, the genetic sequencing analysis of 16 local cases in 4 districts and cities has been completed. They belong to the same transmission chain. The genotyping of the cases is the Omicron BA.2.3 evolutionary branch. At present, It has not been found in China yet.

The third is to go all out to ensure medical treatment. An expert team including traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, psychology and nursing experts has been formed to determine the diagnosis and treatment plan based on "one person, one policy" and provide anti-viral, immunomodulatory and traditional Chinese medicine treatments. Currently, all patients in the hospital are in stable condition. At the same time, we pay close attention to the medical needs of citizens during the epidemic, optimize and standardize the treatment plans of various medical institutions at all levels, and ensure that "all necessary treatment is given"; we have set up 13 yellow code hospitals to fully ensure the admission of people in "one point and two districts".

Questions and answers

What specific measures has Zhaoyuan City taken to strengthen epidemic prevention management?

Answers from official staff:

O Micron virus spreads through many channels, is fast, and is highly concealed, making its prevention and control very difficult. In extraordinary times, in order to realize dynamic clearing and restore normal production and life in the shortest time, extraordinary measures need to be taken. In work, "fast, strict and unified" should be highlighted:

Fast means rapid deployment and implementation. At 1 a.m. on the 24th, an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was held overnight to adjust and strengthen the organizational structure; at 1:50, an emergency video conference was held to deploy all-area control work and required all personnel except municipal leaders at the headquarters. All municipal-level leaders have guaranteed the protection of towns and streets, all the principals in charge of various municipal departments have led teams to guarantee the coverage, and all cadres at the deputy department level and above have guaranteed guarantees for the villages and communities, and have gone to the front line to implement the guarantee work.

Strict means strict prevention and control across the entire region. From 6 o'clock on the 24th, control will be implemented in the entire area, and internal and external "dual control" measures will be adopted. A total of 2,320 police, volunteer police, security and other forces will be invested to comprehensively strengthen control. Among them, "internal control" has carefully set up 83 checkpoints in the urban area. At each checkpoint, police, vigilantes, and security guards are responsible for checking and urging people to return. Public security police, agency cadres, town and village cadres, and social forces are arranged to be on duty around the clock.

For "external control", 23 checkpoints around Zhaoyuan were immediately set up. Each checkpoint was manned by a public security policeman, a traffic policeman and 4 staff members from municipal departments. In addition to carrying out epidemic prevention and control, medical assistance, and emergency response Except for vehicles and personnel carrying out tasks such as rescue and transportation of production and living materials, control measures must be strictly implemented.

Unification means coordinating material support. Isolation does not separate love. We actively coordinate with major supermarkets in the city to increase the purchase of daily necessities such as rice, noodles, oil, vegetables, meat, etc., and unblock online channels such as Meituan, Ele.me, local shopping platforms, and WeChat groups. In the shopping channel, the delivery personnel will notify users to pick up the goods by making phone calls and other methods, achieving "contactless delivery" throughout the process. For citizens who are quarantined at home, the towns and streets arrange delivery service teams, and on the premise of taking good epidemic prevention and control measures, deliver the goods to their doors according to the order, opening up the "last mile" of daily necessities to their homes, and ensuring the daily necessities of the people.

This is a critical moment in the race against time and against the virus. We sincerely hope that the general public and friends in Zhaoyuan can have more understanding and support and consciously refrain from going out unless necessary. As long as we strictly abide by the requirements for epidemic prevention and control, work together, and fight the epidemic together, we will surely be able to win the "double victory" of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.

What treatment measures have been taken for confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections in Yantai City, and what are the current conditions of these patients?

Official staff answer:

The hospital attaches great importance to the treatment work and has established a municipal medical treatment expert group including experts in respiratory, first aid, traditional Chinese medicine, and hospital infection to implement "one person, one policy, classified treatment." Asymptomatic infections are mainly provided with isolation, care and condition monitoring, and traditional Chinese medicine experts provide one-on-one syndrome differentiation and intervention with traditional Chinese medicine. For confirmed cases, expert consultation is carried out to determine individualized treatment plans and adopt antiviral and symptomatic treatment using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. treat. For patients with severe high-risk factors, including special patients with underlying diseases and the elderly, a medical care team composed mainly of experts in critical care medicine has been established to provide special care and closely monitor changes in condition. Strengthen antiviral and symptomatic supportive treatment. At the same time, the hospital provides personalized meals based on the patient's condition and eating habits to increase nutrition and immunity, and provides psychological counseling to key patients to regulate and stabilize their emotions.

At present, all patients are in stable condition and actively cooperate with treatment.

What is the reason for the rapid increase in the number of confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections in Yantai City in the past two days?

Official staff answer:

As the epidemic develops, The number of confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections in Yantai City has shown a rapid growth trend in the past two days. There are several specific reasons:

First, timely response, timely control, and timely detection. Since the epidemic was discovered in Yantai City on April 22, risk areas have been quickly identified through epidemic control, the density of regional nucleic acid testing has been increased, and infected people have been screened out in a timely manner, based on epidemiological history, clinical manifestations and laboratory testing. The result is a clear diagnosis.

Second, this epidemic was caused by infection with the Omicron BA.2 mutant strain. It is more contagious and has a shorter incubation period. At present, the past two days are still within the common incubation period of new coronavirus infection. Most of these newly confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections were detected in centralized isolation points, and a few were found in sealed and controlled areas. The discovery shows that the "three zones" division and management of the containment area, control area, and prevention area in on-site epidemic response are scientific and have played a very good role in risk identification and control.

Third, based on the characteristics of these cases, the epidemic shows obvious spatial clustering and may have been spreading invisibly for some time. Faced with the characteristics of the Omicron mutant strain, such as its rapid spread, strong concealment, and short incubation period, the epidemic response needs to race against time, fast circulation, fast detection, fast transportation, and fast isolation to strive for the shortest possible time by "quick control" Discover and isolate all sources of infection within a short period of time, block the spread of the epidemic, and achieve zero infection in society in a short period of time.
