2021 Letter of Proposal to Xinyi City Migrant Workers Returning to Their Hometowns

To fellow migrant workers across the city:

Time is too thin and the gaps between the fingers are too wide. 2021 is slipping quietly through the gaps between the fingers. You who have been traveling abroad for a year may be missing your hometown and relatives, and you are rushing to your hometown loaded with the fruits of your hard work and gifts. Here, I would like to express my sincere greetings to you from my hometown!

Currently, the COVID-19 epidemic is accelerating around the world, and the domestic epidemic situation is showing a multi-point distribution and local cluster outbreaks intertwined and superimposed. At present, migrant workers have begun to return home one after another. As the Spring Festival approaches, stations, airports and other places are densely populated with large amounts of traffic, and there are many uncontrollable factors when traveling outside. In order to effectively control and reduce the risk of the spread of the new coronavirus epidemic, protect the health and life safety of the people, and continue to do a good job in preventing and controlling the epidemic among migrant workers returning home, we have issued the following initiatives:

1. Overseas and Migrant workers in areas at moderate and high risk of the domestic epidemic will not return to their hometowns unless necessary. It is recommended that Xinyi migrant workers working in medium and high-risk areas overseas and in domestic epidemic areas should not return to their hometowns unless necessary. If you really need to return to your hometown, you must proactively report to the village committee where you live three days in advance the specific time of return, the means of transportation and other relevant information, as well as your travel history within 14 days, and conduct a nucleic acid test at the place of departure to ensure a smooth return journey. After returning home, you must report to the community as soon as possible, abide by the relevant regulations of the local epidemic prevention and control headquarters, and proactively implement prevention and control measures such as nucleic acid testing, isolation observation, and health monitoring. The real-time epidemic risk levels of various regions in the country can be queried through the national government service platform.

2. People returning from other areas must strictly report. Those who return from low-risk areas in cities where medium- and high-risk areas are located must report to the village committee as soon as possible after returning home and truthfully report their itinerary. They must provide proof of a negative nucleic acid test within 48 hours, or be able to show proof of a negative nucleic acid test within 48 hours. A health code that proves a negative nucleic acid test within 1 hour, and a normal body temperature measurement. After collecting nucleic acid test samples on site, people can move freely and orderly on the premise of taking personal protection. Those who cannot provide proof of a negative nucleic acid test within 48 hours must undergo a nucleic acid test. Those with negative nucleic acid tests can move in an orderly manner and undergo another nucleic acid test within 72 hours of entering our city. Those who return to their hometowns from epidemic-free provinces should report to the village committee as soon as possible after returning to their hometowns and register with their real names, and truthfully report their itinerary.

3. Take personal protection. Firmly establish the concept that "everyone is the first person responsible for their own health". You should prepare masks with you when you go out, wear masks regularly, wash hands and disinfect strictly, maintain a social distance of more than 1 meter, and implement the code scanning, body temperature measurement, Frequent ventilation and other requirements. During the period of returning home, reduce unnecessary outings, especially within 14 days, try not to visit relatives and friends, or have dinner gatherings. Once individuals and their family members develop symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, loss of sense of smell, diarrhea, etc., please wear a mask and go to the nearest fever clinic in a timely manner, and truthfully inform your personal travel history, activity history, and contact history, and avoid taking public transportation when seeking medical treatment. ***Transportation and minimize contact with others.

4. Complete the new coronavirus vaccination as soon as possible. At present, the COVID-19 epidemic is still severe and complex. Vaccination is the most effective, safest and most important prevention and control measure. It can not only effectively protect and reduce the risk of infection, but also significantly reduce the incidence of severe illness after infection. Migrant workers who have not completed vaccination should go to the nearest vaccination site as soon as possible to complete vaccination; people aged 18 and above who have been vaccinated for the second dose for 6 months should receive a booster shot in time.
