The progress was exchanged.

The Governor of Chang'an Avenue noted that Ma Xiaowei emphasized that nucleic acid testing should be used as a means to quickly expand prevention, and strive to achieve full coverage of nucleic acid testing within 4 days.

The Dalian epidemic chain has expanded to 7 cities in 4 provinces

The Liaoning Provincial Health Commission notified that as of 12 am on 26 July 2020, 28 confirmed cases were treated in hospitals across the province, and 39 cases of asymptomatic infections were treated in isolation in designated hospitals.

This nucleic acid test will highlight the key points, and give priority to the investigation of residents in areas with epidemics, old communities and densely populated communities, and batch testing.

The notice stated that the cost of nucleic acid testing will be borne by the finances. It is hoped that the general public will dispel their worries, obey the unified arrangements of the street and the community, take the initiative to accept sampling and screening, and queue up for testing in an orderly manner, so as to ensure that all inspections are required and no one is missed.

Ma Xiaowei Data Map

After the investigation, Ma Xiaowei listened to the work report of the National Health Commission's expert group in Dalian, and participated in the work report meeting organized by Dalian City on the afternoon of the 25th to make arrangements for the next step of prevention and control work.

Ma Xiaowei pointed out that after the outbreak of the epidemic in Dalian, the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, and the Dalian Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government organized strong leadership, rapid response and precise response measures, laying a solid foundation for winning the battle against the epidemic. The current epidemic is at an early stage of development and a critical period of prevention and control, and there are still many uncertain factors in the epidemic. The Dalian Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government must resolutely implement the spirit of the important instructions of General Secretary Jinping, follow the decisions and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the people first, life first, strengthen confidence, calmly respond, and give full play to the epidemic prevention and control headquarters and joint prevention and control mechanism Consolidate the “four-party responsibilities” of territories, departments, units, individuals and families, strictly implement the normalized prevention and control requirements of “timely detection, rapid disposal, precise management and control, and effective treatment”, and adopt more targeted ultra-conventional prevention and control Measures, race against time, compete with the disease, and resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic.

Ma Xiaowei emphasized that, at present, it is necessary to rapidly expand prevention by nucleic acid testing. While existing medical institutions and third-party testing institutions are fully tapping their potential, they should make good use of testing resources in nearby cities and strengthen biosafety management and sampling and testing matching. Sampling results will be issued within time, and strive to achieve full coverage of nucleic acid testing within 4 days.

It is necessary to resolutely draw a large "encirclement circle" with the focus on close contact management, isolate close contacts, isolate close contacts of close contacts, implement single-person and single-room centralized isolation, and implement prevention and control measures and protection in isolation sites Guide and implement personnel health monitoring and disinfection management of isolation points.

It is necessary to delineate a "control circle" based on the principle of precise control, and work hard on effective community control, and assign personnel control to the smallest units such as buildings and communities as appropriate. Scientifically adjust the risk level areas. People in medium and high risk areas cannot leave Dalian, and those in low risk areas leave Dalian with a negative nucleic acid test certificate.

It is necessary to implement the requirements of the "Four Concentrations" to strengthen the treatment of cases, vacate a hospital to treat patients in a centralized manner within 24 hours, ensure that "collection should be collected" and "treatment should be treated", and a high-level medical team should be organized to take over the ward.

It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of nosocomial infection, strengthen the management of fever clinics, realize closed-loop management of hospital observation, accounting and investigation, and personnel transfer, strictly manage the management and escort system of admitted patients, improve the diagnosis and treatment process, and achieve "zero infection" in the hospital.

It is necessary to strengthen the reconciliation and traceability of the disease, further increase the intensity of the reconciliation, adhere to the simultaneous conduct of the reconciliation and the admission and treatment of the disease, so as to achieve full coverage of the epidemiological investigation of confirmed cases, suspected cases, close contacts, etc., insist on the same investigation of people, and pay attention to screening All possible sources of infection, try our best to identify the source of the virus.

It is necessary to do a good job of public opinion guidance and social management, openly and transparently release epidemic information and prevention and control work, respond to social concerns in a timely manner, and vigorously popularize health knowledge and personal protective measures.

It is necessary to plan in advance to prepare for the prevention and control of the fall and winter epidemics, to further improve the nucleic acid testing capabilities of disease control institutions and medical institutions, to strengthen the outpatient and ward transformation of medical institutions, to organize major training, major drills, and major investigations, to timely check loopholes, make up for shortcomings, Strengths and weaknesses, to ensure that the emergence of an epidemic can be quickly and effectively dealt with, and to minimize the impact on the production and life of the people.
