Beijing’s covid epidemic continues to ferment. According to the epidemic situation officially notified by Beijing, 23 of the confirmed cases found last Friday and Saturday came from a hotel that was officially designated as a centralized isolation point. In addition, the authorities arranged for more than 100,000 teachers and students in various universities in Beijing to perform nucleic acid tests, and requested that all be completed and results obtained within two days on Saturday and Sunday. The outside world suspects that there is something strange behind these two incidents.
At the 135th epidemic prevention and control press conference held in the afternoon of 28 June, Chu Junwei, Deputy Secretary of the Fengtai District Party Committee and acting mayor of Beijing, said that from the recent confirmed cases, cases in Fengtai District were mainly found at centralized isolation points . Especially on 26 and 27 June, the 25 newly confirmed cases in Fengtai District came from the centralized isolation points arranged by the government, and 23 of them came from the centralized isolation points of MGM Hotel.
According to media reports, the staff of MGM Hotel admitted to the media in the evening of 28 June. However, the staff also declared that the centralized segregation work undertaken by the hotel is now over, and all the people who have undergone centralized segregation at the hotel have been evacuated from the hotel, but the hotel staff did not disclose the whereabouts of the segregated person after the evacuation.
Mainland China media said that in the last round of the epidemic, MGM Hotels served as a centralized observation point and had also undertaken the centralized observation task for inbound immigrants.
According to the Chinese Communist Party’s official media, the Medical Administration of the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China has cooperated with the Beijing Municipal Education and Work Commission to arrange 20 medical institutions, starting from 27th to more than 100,000 teachers and students from nearly 100 universities in Beijing. For nucleic acid testing, it is required to complete the test before 24 o'clock on the 28th and get the results.
The above situation has attracted special attention from the outside world, and has also caused many speculations and discussions among Chinese netizens.
Some people questioned, "Whether those who evacuated from the MGM hotel ended the centralized isolation and went home, or were they transferred to other places to continue the isolation observation? After 23 confirmed patients were found within two days, the hotel announced that it would end the centralized isolation work. Is it possible that a group infection has occurred and the hotel is responsible for management?"
Some netizens also doubted, "The official suddenly decided to let all the teachers and students of Peking University perform nucleic acid detection last weekend. Will it be related to the 23 cases of diagnosis confirmed by MGM Hotel on the weekend?"
Some netizens commented, "Isolating safe distances is much more reliable than nucleic acid detection. There have been cases after 14 days, which has long indicated that there are missed detections and cross infections. The significance of nucleic acids is only to leave Beijing."
Some netizens commented, "Yesterday teachers and students, logistics, and family members gathered together to test, which is more lively than the temple fair. This level of aggregation is really scary."
