When can Yuci Mahjong Hall be opened?

This round of epidemic reported serious illness for the first time, and stopped mahjong halls! When can I open it? I need to wait for the announcement.

According to the latest report, from 0: 00 to 24: 00 on August 4, there were 40 newly confirmed cases in Jiangsu, including 2 serious cases. This is the first time that a critical case has been reported since the outbreak of the local epidemic. In addition, the number of severe cases in Yangzhou is also the largest among cities with local epidemics.

Outbreak of chess room epidemic

Elderly patients in Yangzhou account for nearly 70%

According to the Jiangsu Provincial Health and Health Commission's previous report, the epidemic in Yangzhou revolved around the chess room, that is, the mahjong room. Mahjong hall is relatively closed in space, with poor ventilation, crowded people and large flow of people, which is easy to cause the spread of viruses. Mahjong players move between different mahjong halls at the same time. At present, at least three mahjong parlors have been found, resulting in multiple outbreak sources in a short period of time, and the epidemic spread rapidly.

The reporter combed and found that according to the published epidemiological information, as of 24: 00 on August 3, Yangzhou had reported a total of confirmed cases 126, of which 88 cases were over 60 years old, accounting for 69.8%; There were 36 patients over 70 years old, accounting for 28.5%.

Most of these elderly patients go in and out of the chess room, and at least 20 of them have played cards in the same chess room or had close contact with the 64-year-old Mrs. Mao, the first confirmed patient in Yangzhou and returning from Nanjing.

According to the previous data, one of the causes of severe and critical illness is that people are generally older and suffer from basic diseases to varying degrees.

In addition, the low vaccination rate of COVID-19 in the elderly may also be the cause of severe and critical illness. According to the national unified deployment, in April this year, Yangzhou fully released COVID-19 vaccination for the elderly over 60 years old. However, it is reported that as of July 22nd, Yangzhou has completed more than 4.5 million doses of COVID-19 vaccination, of which the coverage rate of COVID-19 vaccination for people aged 18-59 has reached over 70%, but the coverage rate of COVID-19 vaccination for people aged 60 and above has not yet reached 40%.

"Many elderly people may not have awareness of prevention and control, and some are infected, because they may not realize it without symptoms, and then eat and drink everywhere. Moreover, Yangzhou City is not big, and the population density in the main city is high, which will lead to rapid spread. " A Yangzhou citizen interviewed by a reporter thinks.

In addition, at present, prevention and control information and notifications are mostly notified by SMS and WeChat. It is also doubtful whether these elderly people over 60 can receive effective information in time.

Epidemic prevention policy upgrade

Many places have stopped the chess room and mahjong room.

In order to do a good job in the prevention and control of pneumonia in COVID-19, reduce the gathering of people and effectively cut off the route of virus transmission, many places have stopped social chess and card rooms, mahjong halls and other places.

Chongqing Tongnan District, Tongliang District, Bishan District and other districts and counties have announced that before August 5, all social chess and card rooms, mahjong halls and other places in the region will be closed to prevent people from gathering. If it fails to suspend business or stop on its own within the time limit, it should be immediately persuaded to suspend business and disperse the gathering personnel; Those who repeatedly prohibit or cause a cluster epidemic should be dealt with severely according to the law and regulations.

Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province announced today that relatively closed places such as theaters, chess and card rooms (mahjong halls), song and dance entertainment places, beauty salons, pedicure shops, massage parlors, game halls, billiards halls, Internet cafes, indoor sports and fitness places, indoor children's recreation projects, kindergartens, and various offline education and training institutions will be closed.

Dalian, Liaoning Province also issued a notice today, saying that the competent department of community cooperation will resolutely close the community activity places, community pension service centers, baths, mahjong halls and so on that are prone to public gathering.

Jilin Province announced today that indoor entertainment places such as song and dance entertainment, Internet service, chess room and closed places such as massage and beauty salons are closed.

Beijing upgraded its epidemic prevention policy today: further strict epidemic prevention measures such as scanning code registration, making an appointment to limit flow and wearing masks in public places where communities (villages) gather. The community (village) non-essential chess room, mahjong room, entertainment room and other closed places should be "closed" and suspended.

Previously, Jiangsu announced that all the 4537 1 chess rooms and mahjong halls in the province were closed, and all the 19 large-scale activities that had been approved in August were cancelled or postponed, and entertainment venues and offline training institutions took measures to close down.

Experts remind:

Vaccination is still the most effective preventive measure.

Experts from China CDC said that China's vaccine can effectively reduce the hospitalization rate, severe illness rate and mortality rate, and the existing domestic vaccine still has a good preventive effect on Delta strain. The infected cases after vaccination are breakthrough cases, accounting for a small part of the vaccinated population. Clinical data show that no vaccine can 100% prevent infection, but in general, all kinds of mutant strains are still within the controllable range of existing vaccines.

The severity of the current epidemic situation in Yangzhou has also sounded the alarm for us-vaccination is still the most effective preventive measure in the face of the epidemic situation. Vaccination for people over 60 years old and people aged 3 to 17 should be stepped up in an orderly manner!
