Five people in Taigu District, Jinzhong, Shanxi Province were positive for the first time. What measures has the local government taken?

It has been more than two years since the outbreak of the epidemic in COVID-19, during which various localities have accumulated rich epidemic prevention experience. When the initial screening results of five people were positive, the emergency mechanism was quickly launched in Taigu District of Jinzhong City, and measures such as comprehensive epidemiological investigation, nucleic acid detection, isolation control and environmental disinfection were immediately taken to investigate, detect, control and collect environmental samples. At the same time, the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control headquarters in this area also issued an urgent notice, asking people in this area not to leave unless necessary. The whole area should be closed, live at home, suspend large-scale meetings and other activities, attend classes in primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, and close all external traffic intersections.

On the surface, Swire has taken many measures, but it is not difficult to find that almost all the measures are closely related to avoiding people flow. This is also a mature epidemic prevention model summarized by various places in the past two years and confirmed in practice. It is precisely because practical measures have been taken that this round of epidemic in Taikoo has not spread further, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to the follow-up epidemic prevention work and at the same time minimizes the losses of the people.

Of course, the emergence of positive cases will inevitably cause some losses to the local epidemic prevention and control, especially the pollution of environmental samples and the risk of diagnosis of close contacts are universal, and timely isolation and control measures are a basic premise. After all, this is an effective epidemic prevention method, which can successfully block the transmission route in novel coronavirus. Although the closure of the whole area has brought a lot of inconvenience to people's lives, compared with the losses caused by the spread of the epidemic, this inconvenience can still be recognized and understood, and all the work is ultimately for people's health.

As a reference, it is not difficult to see that the prevention and control mechanism of epidemic situation in COVID-19 has been gradually improved, especially the response efficiency of foreign positive cases has been significantly improved. After all, this is a decisive factor related to the effectiveness of local epidemic prevention work. Although the epidemic situation in COVID-19 will continue to affect our normal work and life order in a short time, with the establishment and improvement of epidemic prevention mechanism, the prevention and control of epidemic situation will be more comfortable in the future.
