Announcement on the latest epidemic prevention and control policies in Handan City, Hebei Province Handan's latest epidemic prevention and control measures

In accordance with the requirements of the "Notice on Further Optimizing and Implementing Measures for the Prevention and Control of the New Coronavirus Epidemic" of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, the following measures are now clarified to adjust and optimize the province's recent epidemic prevention and control work.

1. Standardize risk area management methods

Accurately delineate high-risk areas. High-risk areas must be strictly demarcated based on buildings, units, floors, and residents. They must not be arbitrarily expanded to residential areas, communities, streets and other administrative areas, and various forms of temporary closures must not be adopted.

Implement "quick seal and quick release" of high-risk areas. High-risk areas that have had no new positive infections for five consecutive days must be unblocked in a timely manner and shall not be arbitrarily extended or continue to implement blockade and control measures.

Strengthen epidemic-related safety guarantees. It is strictly prohibited to block fire escapes, unit doors, and community doors in various ways to ensure that people have smooth access to go out for medical treatment, emergency evacuation, etc. The municipal level is responsible for coordinating the referral of all types of critically ill patients, and the county level promotes the establishment of a docking mechanism between communities and relevant medical institutions to provide medical convenience for the elderly living alone, minors, pregnant women, disabled people, and patients with chronic diseases. It is necessary to strengthen care, care and psychological counseling for quarantine personnel, patients and front-line staff.

2. Optimize and adjust isolation management measures

Adjust the management methods for asymptomatic infections and mild cases. Asymptomatic infected persons and mild cases who are eligible for home isolation are generally quarantined at home, or they can voluntarily choose to be treated in centralized isolation. During the home isolation period, if the Ct value of the nucleic acid test is ≥35 for two consecutive days on the 6th and 7th days, the isolation will be released. If the condition worsens, the patient will be transferred to a designated hospital for treatment in a timely manner.

Optimize the isolation method of close contacts. Close contacts who meet the conditions for home isolation should be quarantined at home for 5 days, or they can voluntarily undergo centralized quarantine. The quarantine will be released after the nucleic acid test is negative on the fifth day.

3. Optimize and adjust nucleic acid testing requirements

Provide social "willingness to test and test" services. Nucleic acid testing for all employees will no longer be carried out according to administrative regions, and the scope and frequency of nucleic acid testing will be further narrowed. Antigen testing can be carried out according to the needs of epidemic prevention work. In accordance with the principle of "nearby and convenient", the existing layout and scale of nucleic acid sampling points in society should be maintained to meet the needs of the people who are willing to test as much as possible.

Standardize nucleic acid testing for high-risk occupational groups and people in high-risk areas. For employees in high-risk positions, the unit where they work will organize nucleic acid testing at the specified frequency. Personnel in high-risk areas undergo nucleic acid testing at the specified frequency.

4. Clarify the inspection policy for negative nucleic acid test certificates

Cancel the inspection of mobile personnel. Nucleic acid test negative certificates and health codes will no longer be checked for people traveling across regions. The "landing inspection" at traffic checkpoints such as airports, railway stations, long-distance passenger terminals, and highway provincial boundary service areas will be cancelled.

Standardize the verification of negative nucleic acid test results. In addition to the need to check the negative nucleic acid test certificate when entering special places such as nursing homes, welfare homes, medical institutions, child care institutions, primary and secondary schools, etc., the negative nucleic acid test certificate will no longer be required when entering public places and taking public transportation. Then check the health code and scan the "place code". All medical institutions must unconditionally accept critically ill patients without a negative nucleic acid test certificate for medical treatment.

5. Clarify the management requirements for special places

Insist on closed management of special places. Special places for vulnerable groups such as nursing homes, welfare homes, and mental health institutions continue to implement closed management.

Optimize school epidemic prevention and control. Strengthen the construction of on-campus medical clinics, provide teachers, students and staff with "check-up-to-check" services, and reserve sufficient medicines. Teachers and students with important exam arrangements should carry out health monitoring in advance to ensure that they take the exams to the fullest. Schools without epidemics must carry out normal offline teaching activities, and supermarkets, canteens, sports venues, libraries, etc. on campus must be open normally. Schools affected by the epidemic must accurately delineate risk areas based on the epidemic situation, and ensure normal teaching and life outside the risk areas.

6. Guarantee the normal operation of society

Guarantee the normal operation of society and basic medical services. In non-high-risk areas, the movement of people must not be restricted, and work, production, and business must not be suspended.

Medical personnel, public security, transportation and logistics, shopping malls, supply guarantees, water, electricity and heating and other personnel who ensure basic medical services and normal social operations will be included in the "white list" management. Relevant personnel should do personal protection, vaccination and health monitoring to ensure normal operation. We will provide medical services and basic daily necessities, water, electricity, heating and other supplies, strive to maintain normal production and work order, promptly solve the urgent, difficult and anxious problems raised by the masses, and effectively meet the basic living needs of the masses during the epidemic response.

Optimize the daily management of important agencies. Party and government agencies at all levels can formulate prevention and control measures based on actual conditions, guide cadres and employees to monitor their health, and strengthen personal protection.

Ensure the normal operation of large enterprises. Establish "one enterprise, one policy" epidemic prevention measures for large enterprises, and resolutely put an end to arbitrary suspensions of work, production, and business. It is necessary to care for the physical health of employees and provide convenient conditions for employees' personal protection, medical treatment and medication.

Standardize the guarantee of important activities. Based on the nature and scale of major meetings and large-scale activities, we should formulate epidemic prevention and control plans, strengthen pre-meeting management of participants, carry out health monitoring in advance, and determine nucleic acid testing and inspection measures in accordance with the principle of one discussion per case.

7. Ensuring the public’s medical use of medicines

Strengthen the health status of key groups and establish records. Give full play to the role of primary medical and health institutions and family doctors as health "gatekeepers" to identify the elderly patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, tumors, immune deficiencies, etc. Regarding the vaccination status of the new coronavirus, we will promote the implementation of hierarchical and classified management.

Implement hierarchical and classified medical treatment. Scientifically carry out the classification and treatment of asymptomatic infections, mild cases, ordinary, severe, critical cases and cases with high-risk factors for severe illness. Traditional Chinese medicine hospitals at all levels should promptly develop a batch of traditional Chinese medicine preparations or traditional Chinese medicine agreement prescriptions, and prepare batches of traditional Chinese medicine decoctions or traditional Chinese medicine formula granules in advance. They should open simple outpatient clinics, convenient medicine sales windows, and online medicine purchase to facilitate the public's timely purchase and use. traditional Chinese medicine.

Guarantee the basic needs of the people for purchasing medicines. Strengthen the production and reserve of anti-epidemic drugs to ensure the normal operation of pharmacies. Pharmacies must not be closed at will to meet the public's demand for medicines. People must not be restricted from purchasing antipyretic, cough, antiviral, cold and other over-the-counter drugs online and offline. Real-name registration is not required to purchase four types of drugs.

8. Improve people’s awareness and ability of self-protection

Accelerate the vaccination progress of the elderly. Adhere to the principle of receiving as many people as possible, effectively increase the vaccination rate of people aged 60-79, and accelerate the increase of vaccination rate of people aged 80 and above. Vaccination services are continuously optimized through measures such as setting up green channels for the elderly and temporary vaccination sites. It is necessary to carefully organize and carry out training on the determination of vaccination contraindications, and guide medical staff to scientifically determine vaccination contraindications. It is necessary to carry out extensive science popularization and actively guide the elderly to take the initiative to vaccinate and vaccinate as early as possible.

Guide the masses to fulfill their personal prevention and control responsibilities. Strengthen publicity and education, strengthen the awareness that everyone is the "first person responsible" for their own health, guide the public to consciously abide by epidemic prevention regulations, and do self-protection in different scenarios. If you feel unwell, especially if you have respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, etc., seek medical advice promptly. Standardize medical use of medications.

If you encounter any problems during the implementation process, please provide timely feedback. The Provincial Epidemic Prevention Office will dynamically optimize and adjust prevention and control policies and measures based on changes in the epidemic prevention and control situation and the unified deployment of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council.
