In the past two days, our city has continuously carried out personnel screening in key areas. Why do this? According to expert analysis, the virus genome sequenced in this epidemic in our city is Omicron. The virus has a shorter incubation period, is more contagious, and spreads faster. Its transmissibility is several times that of the Delta mutant strain, and the symptoms are not obvious. Many people do not even have symptoms, which makes its spread very insidious and more likely to cause multiple sporadic or concentrated outbreaks. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out personnel screening in key areas to quickly, comprehensively and without missing any potential infected persons.

During this period, medical workers and disease control personnel have done a lot of work. More than 16,500 people have been working on the front line to complete sampling, testing, transportation, flow control and other tasks. Everyone is working continuously; Staff of various functional departments, grassroots cadres, public security officers, grid workers, and volunteers have entered the "white and black" mode, on duty day and night, visiting and investigating; experts and staff from the province and sister cities have carried forward the principle of "when one party is in trouble, all parties support it" "The spirit of mutual help and love rushed to our city and fought side by side, giving Weihai strong support. In particular, the general public understands and considers the overall situation, overcomes various inconveniences and physical and mental pressure caused by the epidemic, consciously obeys, actively cooperates and fully supports, ensuring the smooth development of epidemic prevention and control work. There are also friends who come to Weiwei for business and private reasons, and they have quietly made positive contributions to the prevention and control of the epidemic. Thank you again for your efforts, and I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by the prevention and control work.

There is still great uncertainty about the epidemic. In the days to come, Weihai will face the test together. I hope that everyone will remain patient, persevere, and understand, and do this work together for the sake of themselves, their families, and our city.

The municipal party committee and government will do their best to protect everyone’s lives and ensure adequate supplies of daily necessities and epidemic prevention materials. At the same time, they will organize community staff and volunteers to deliver them in a timely manner to avoid affecting everyone’s health due to screening work. normal life. The 12345 government service hotline is open 24 hours a day, listening to the opinions and suggestions of the masses at any time, and handling the needs of the masses. A green medical channel has also been opened for residents to ensure that special patients receive timely treatment. The majority of residents, especially those in closed and controlled areas, once they need medical treatment, contact the community in a timely manner and someone will be sent to their door to ensure that the residents receive effective medical services and treatment.

Our city will continue to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, especially to carry out comprehensive investigation, follow-up, testing and circulation investigation of key personnel, dig deep and search carefully, and try our best to eliminate potential risks as much as possible. Dig it out.
