A letter from the Weifang Municipal Party Committee Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters to the general public

Dear citizens and friends:

I once thought that the virus was far away from us. Unexpectedly, Omicron suddenly came to our side. The city was no longer bustling and noisy, and the roads were no longer busy with traffic. . While we pressed the "life static button", the municipal party committee and the municipal government quickly activated the "work fast-forward button", issued a "mobilization order" and sounded the "assembly call" immediately, and the whole city had the same desire and united as one. The Communist Party of China is a powerful force in fighting against the epidemic. Party organizations and party members and cadres at all levels are at the forefront and fighting with all their strength. "Protective white", "vest red" and "police uniform blue" go against the trend and stick to the "epidemic" line. In particular, the general public has taken the overall situation into consideration, worked together, consciously abided by epidemic prevention regulations, actively cooperated with epidemic tracing, and actively accepted nucleic acid tests, making important contributions to blocking the spread of the virus. In difficult times and critical junctures, how many people sleep without taking off their armor and are prepared for the danger, how many people move forward fearlessly and shoulder the heavy burden, everyone who steps forward, everyone who sticks to their posts, everyone who is in centralized isolation, Everyone who is "quiet" at home is a practitioner of responsibility and responsibility, loyalty and dedication! Here, we would like to express our highest respect and heartfelt thanks to everyone!

With our joint efforts, our city’s epidemic response work has achieved phased results. The society has been “dynamically cleared” within one week, curbing the spread of the epidemic as quickly as possible. Demonstrating the speed of Weifang. However, "dynamic clearing" does not mean that the epidemic is over, nor does it mean that there is no risk of the epidemic spreading. It just means that except for key personnel in centralized isolation, no new confirmed cases have been found in society and the community. The current epidemic situation across the country and the province is still complex and severe. Especially this time, the Omikron virus is more hidden, spreads faster, and is highly uncertain. No one can relax their vigilance and be careless. The more critical a moment comes, the more important it is to keep a clear mind and be cautious. The whole city must effectively enhance the sense of urgency of "a person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile", grit his teeth, persevere to the end, and work tirelessly to win the final victory in this battle against the epidemic. For the health and safety of you and your family, we recommend:

1. Do not go out unless necessary. If people do not move around, the chain of virus transmission will be cut off and the risk of infection will be reduced. Citizens in closed and controlled areas must stay at home, and citizens in controlled areas must not leave their communities. Citizens in prevention areas must implement "two-point and one-line" closed-loop management of their workplaces and residences while maintaining effective protection.

2. Don’t leave Wei unless necessary. Please pay attention to the domestic epidemic situation in a timely manner and do not travel to areas where local epidemics occur. Those who really need to go must report to their community and unit in time before departure and return. After returning, they must cooperate with the implementation of nucleic acid testing, health monitoring, isolation control and other measures as required.

3. Do not shop online unless necessary. Recently, epidemic transmission chains have emerged in the express logistics industry in many places in China, and the pressure of joint prevention of "people, things, and the environment" has further increased. We encourage the general public not to purchase online or mail items from overseas and medium- and high-risk areas. When receiving mail and express delivery, you should protect yourself before receiving, disinfect the mail and let it stand before using it, wash your hands after opening the mail, package and handle in a standardized manner, and report any abnormal situations early.

4. Actively participate in nucleic acid testing. Nucleic acid testing is currently the most effective and powerful means to detect viruses and prevent and control epidemics. Please continue to respond to the call, actively participate in nucleic acid testing, and strictly protect yourself, wear masks regularly, keep a distance of more than 1 meter when queuing, and keep a distance of more than 3 meters when taking samples. Avoid contact with other items during the sampling process to prevent cross-infection.

5. Continue to maintain good living habits. Everyone is the "first person responsible" for their own health. Please consciously develop good living habits such as wearing a mask, washing hands frequently, ventilating frequently, using public chopsticks, and "one meter noodles". If you have fever, fatigue, dry cough, loss of taste and other uncomfortable symptoms, please go to the fever clinic of the nearest medical institution as soon as possible.

6. Do not believe or spread rumors. Please pay attention to official updates on the epidemic, do not believe or spread rumors, and consciously resist the release and spread of false information.

There is no winter that is insurmountable, and there is no spring that will not come. For more than two years, the people of the city have been helping each other through thick and thin, and working together to fight the COVID-19 epidemic. At this moment, we need your understanding and support even more.

Let us work together and work hard for you, for me, for him, and for our beautiful homeland!

Because "Wei" has you, "Fang" can be safe!

You and I are of one mind and we will win the battle against the epidemic!
