COVID-19 during the Spring Festival on New Year’s Day in 2022Epidemic prevention and control work plan
At present, the global COVID-19 epidemic is still at a high level, and new mutant strains are constantly appearing, so China continues to face greater pressure of epidemic input. During the New Year’s Day and the Spring Festival in 2022 (hereinafter referred to as the "two festivals"), the number of overseas returnees increased, the mobility of domestic personnel increased, the risk of epidemic input and transmission increased, and the prevention and control situation was severe and complicated. Major events such as the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics will be held in the near future, and the task of epidemic prevention and control is arduous and arduous. In order to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control during the "two festivals", this plan is formulated.
I. General requirements
Adhere to the general strategy of "external defense input, internal defense rebound", adhere to the combination of normalization prevention and control and emergency response, adhere to scientific, accurate and strict epidemic prevention and control, strengthen the source control of epidemic situation, strengthen the safe and orderly flow of personnel, strengthen multi-channel monitoring and early warning, strengthen epidemic prevention and control in key links, strengthen the emergency response capability of epidemic situation, strengthen supervision and inspection, and implement responsibilities, so as to minimize the impact on people’s production and life and ensure that people spend healthy and safe festivals.
Two, strengthen the control of the source of the epidemic, to prevent the import of overseas epidemic.
(1) Strictly do a good job in overseas remote prevention and control. Constantly improve the remote inspection work, strengthen entry and exit control, joint prevention and control in border areas and epidemic prevention cooperation in neighboring countries. Strictly implement the fuse mechanism for flights to China and ship crew shifts. Strengthen the epidemic prevention management of crew members, and refine the on-board epidemic prevention measures such as personal protection of passengers and crew members and control of passenger load factor. Strictly implement the relevant regulations on the killing of inbound aircraft, and can only be used after passing the acceptance. Fully implement the policy of "stopping passengers and goods" and urge cross-border transportation enterprises to implement the requirements of "separation of people and goods and segmented transportation". Freight drivers who really need to enter the country are strictly closed-loop management and are not allowed to contact with domestic personnel.
(2) Strictly implement the closed-loop management of entry personnel and personnel in high-risk positions. Strictly implement the closed-loop management of the whole process from port entry, quarantine, nucleic acid detection, transshipment and diversion, isolated observation to home health monitoring. For high-risk post personnel who come into contact with entry personnel, articles and environment at land, air and water ports, as well as high-risk post personnel in centralized isolation places, designated medical institutions and fever clinics, strict prevention and control requirements such as clear base, fixed personnel, standardized protection, closed loop throughout the whole process, high-frequency nucleic acid detection and health monitoring shall be implemented, and pre-job training shall be done. All relevant provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) should take effective measures to ensure that port cities are equipped with closed-loop management forces, ensure that staff have centralized accommodation during their work, and put closed-loop management in place.
(three) strict entry of high-risk goods and port environmental inspection and disinfection. Port cities with a large amount of imported cold chain food should speed up the construction of centralized supervision warehouses, and unify the disinfection and testing of imported cold chain food. Customs, transportation, market supervision, disease control and other departments shall, according to their duties, urge relevant enterprises to implement epidemic prevention and control requirements in all aspects of imported cold chain food, and strengthen Covid-19 monitoring and preventive disinfection of imported high-risk non-cold chain container goods. Preventive disinfection shall be carried out regularly in the terminal building, waiting room, port passenger station environment, airport covered bridges and facilities used by inbound passengers, the surface of high-frequency contact objects of passengers and luggage shall be disinfected more frequently, inbound vehicles shall be disinfected strictly, port vehicles transporting infected persons shall be disinfected strictly at the end, disinfection evaluation shall be carried out in time, and solid and liquid wastes generated by inbound vehicles shall be treated strictly and standardized.
(four) to increase the prevention and control of epidemic situation outside the port. Strictly implement the requirements of the the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism "Notice on Strengthening the Prevention and Control of COVID-19 Epidemic in Port Cities". From the date when the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) determine the scope of port cities and make an announcement to March 15, 2022, people leaving land border port cities (except those connected with ports in Hong Kong and Macao) must hold negative certificates of nucleic acid testing within 48 hours, and regularly carry out nucleic acid screening for relevant personnel. Strengthen the organization and leadership of port prevention and control, and implement "one port, one special class, one port, one policy". In early December 2021, all port cities should set up special classes for port prevention and control, and the special classes should hold at least one dispatching meeting every week; Conduct a simulated emergency drill before mid-December 2021 to comprehensively test the operation of various emergency preparation and disposal processes. The joint prevention and control mechanism of port cities should send a working group composed of leaders in charge, relevant departments and experts to station in the port for supervision and guidance, ensure the effective implementation of various measures, and firmly guard against the import of port epidemic.
(five) to strengthen the prevention and control of infection in centralized isolation places for entry personnel and medical and health institutions. All relevant places, especially port cities, should further strictly manage the personnel closure, disinfection of articles and environment, health monitoring and nucleic acid detection in places where immigrants are concentrated and isolated, plug loopholes and resolutely prevent cross-infection. For centralized isolation places with suspicious cross-infection, immediately review the flow, comprehensively investigate and evaluate the risks, and recalculate and extend the isolation time for all risk personnel. Strict standards for the release of isolated personnel can be lifted only when three samples of people, things and environment are negative. Supervise and urge the people who have been released from isolation to do personal protection strictly, return to their place of residence through peer-to-peer closed-loop management, and do a good job in home health monitoring for 7 days. Medical and health institutions should strictly control the flow of people and logistics, implement the standard preventive measures for all staff, do a good job in personal protection and health monitoring, strengthen the management of accompanying and visiting, and immediately implement disinfection of environment and equipment after receiving suspicious patients in COVID-19 to prevent cross-infection in medical institutions. In centralized isolation places and medical institutions, infection prevention and control supervisors will be stationed to strengthen the guidance at the stagnation point.
(6) Strictly guard against the import of new mutant strains such as Omicron. All localities and relevant departments should strengthen the research on virus variation and epidemic trend, evaluate the effectiveness of protective measures for all kinds of employees according to the characteristics of virus variation and spread, and improve the prevention and control measures for this industry in the region. All relevant port cities should pay close attention to the detection of mutant strains in neighboring countries and regions, enhance the ability of virus gene sequencing, and dynamically adjust epidemic prevention and control measures. Relevant departments and enterprises should timely evaluate the effectiveness of existing Covid-19 diagnostic reagents, vaccines and drugs, and do a good job in corresponding research and development.
Third, strengthen the safe and orderly flow of personnel
(1) Strict personnel travel requirements.
1. People in medium and high-risk areas and counties (cities, districts and banners) are strictly restricted from traveling.
2. Personnel from other counties (cities, districts and banners) in the city where the medium and high-risk areas are located do not have to travel unless necessary, and if they really need to travel, they must hold a negative certificate of nucleic acid detection within 48 hours.
3. Strictly restrict travel to medium and high-risk areas and counties (cities, districts and banners), and do not travel to other counties (cities, districts and banners) in the cities where medium and high-risk areas are located unless necessary.
4. Personnel in high-risk positions should try to avoid traveling. Those who really need to travel must meet the requirements of being away from their jobs for more than 14 days and holding negative proof of nucleic acid detection within 48 hours, and report to their units.
5. Strictly implement the "fuse" mechanism for the management of inter-provincial tourism business activities. For provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) with medium and high-risk areas, travel agencies and online travel enterprises are immediately suspended from operating inter-provincial team tours and "air tickets+hotels" business in the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government). Travel agencies and online travel companies are suspended from operating team tours and "air ticket+hotel" business in land border port cities, and land border port cities should promptly release free travel risk warnings to the society.
6. Fever patients, health code "yellow code" and other personnel should fulfill their personal protection responsibilities, actively cooperate with health monitoring and nucleic acid detection, and do not travel before the risk of infection is ruled out.
7. Optimize and adjust the school’s winter vacation time, arrange the spring semester to start and return to school at different peaks, and do a good job in the management of students staying in school during the "two festivals". Reasonably adjust the time for enterprises to take holidays and return to work, and guide migrant workers to return to their hometowns at peak hours. Colleges and universities or enterprises with more migrant workers may require students or migrant workers to return to school or work with negative nucleic acid test certificates within 48 hours.
The above travel requirements are aimed at cross-provincial (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) flows, and the travel requirements within the jurisdiction of each province (autonomous region and municipality directly under the central government) are formulated and released by all localities according to the local epidemic situation and actual situation.
(two) to strengthen the prevention and control of Spring Festival travel rush epidemic. Transportation units should co-ordinate the prevention and control of epidemic situation and the organization and guarantee of Spring Festival travel rush, distinguish different situations of epidemic situation, formulate prevention and control plans and classified response plans, and strengthen training exercises. Transportation stations should increase the number of open pit stops and security inspection channels in time according to the passenger flow demand, and do a good job in scanning or checking the passenger’s temperature detection and health code in strict accordance with the regulations; Strengthen the passenger flow organization in the station and guide passengers to wait in an orderly manner; Increase the reserve of masks and disinfectant, and make it convenient for passengers to buy and use them at eye-catching locations such as entrances and exits. Increase the frequency of measures such as ventilation and disinfection in transportation stations and vehicles. Strictly control the passenger load rate of high-speed rail, trains, long-distance passenger cars and passenger ships, reduce the gathering and walking of people in vehicles, remind passengers to keep a safe distance, and do personal protection such as wearing masks and hand disinfection. Strengthen the health monitoring and management of employees in tourism, transportation, catering and other industries, and supervise and guide personal protection during the work.
(3) Strengthen the investigation of key returnees. In rural areas and urban communities, it is necessary to do a good job of arranging and grid management for key returnees in counties (cities, districts and banners) where high-risk areas are located, high-risk posts at ports, and high-risk posts in centralized isolation places, designated medical institutions and fever clinics within 14 days. Relevant personnel should do a good job of health monitoring after returning home, and do not go out or gather unless necessary.
Fourth, strengthen multi-channel monitoring and early warning
(1) Strict responsibility system for pre-screening, triage and first diagnosis. Further strengthen the "sentinel" role of fever clinics and strictly implement the closed-loop management requirements for fever patients. All patients with fever are tested for nucleic acid, and the results of nucleic acid test are fed back within 4-6 hours, and all the results are observed before feedback. Encourage medical institutions to be equipped with rapid nucleic acid detection equipment to reduce the waiting time of fever patients and reduce the risk of cross-infection. Medical institutions at all levels should strictly implement the responsibility system for the first diagnosis, and strictly manage suspicious cases in a closed loop. Medical institutions that do not have the conditions for diagnosis and treatment may not routinely diagnose and treat patients with suspicious symptoms in COVID-19.
(2) Establish an early warning mechanism for risk assessment of nucleic acid detection results. Comprehensively and dynamically collect and monitor the nucleic acid detection information of imported articles, inbound truck drivers, inbound crew, port employees and inbound passengers in port areas, build and improve the nucleic acid detection database, and strengthen data sharing. When there is a significant increase in the positive rate of nucleic acid detection for drivers of inbound trucks and imported goods at land ports (passages), or when there is a positive rate of nucleic acid detection for passengers on inbound flights, the port prevention and control special class will immediately start the risk assessment and judgment mechanism, actively carry out intensive monitoring on relevant personnel, and timely investigate local infection hidden dangers.
(3) Improve the multi-point trigger monitoring and early warning mechanism. Do a good job in health monitoring of employees in port areas, centralized isolation places, designated medical institutions and other related key places, collect multi-channel early warning information from key places such as pharmacies, educational institutions, primary medical institutions, farmers’ markets and online media, and improve the timeliness of information judgment and early warning response. Local joint prevention and control mechanisms should organize weekly analysis and judgment of monitoring information, assess the risk of epidemic spread, and dynamically adjust prevention and control measures.
V. Strengthening epidemic prevention and control in key links
(1) Strictly control aggregation activities. In accordance with the principle of not holding unless necessary, strictly control temple fairs, large-scale cultural performances, exhibitions and promotions, reduce the scale and frequency of rural fairs, control the flow of people, and implement prevention and control measures such as ventilation and disinfection. Hold meetings, parties and other activities should control the number of people, try to hold online meetings or video conferences, and formulate prevention and control plans for activities with more than 50 people, and strictly implement various prevention and control measures. Promote frugality, try not to hold large-scale people gathering activities, advocate family dinners and gatherings with no more than 10 people, and advocate "delayed weddings, simple funerals, no banquets". If it is really necessary, the scale of activities should be reduced as much as possible. Catering units that undertake dinner activities such as banquets with more than five tables must strictly do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, ensure that diners enter the dining place after implementing measures such as code scanning, on-site temperature measurement and wearing masks, and do a good job in ventilation and disinfection of restaurants; Individuals who hold dinner activities such as banquets with more than 5 tables by themselves must report to the local community neighborhood committees or village committees to implement the provisions on prevention and control of local epidemics. Avoid holding large-scale personnel gathering activities in towns and villages that arrive at the border.
(two) to strengthen the prevention and control of epidemic situation in tourist attractions and public venues. Tourist attractions, theaters, entertainment venues and other public venues should implement the requirements of "quota, reservation and peak shift", control the upper limit of personnel reception, implement the ticket reservation system, timely divert passenger flow, and do a good job in health monitoring and management of employees. The classification of tourist attractions should improve the emergency plan and do a good job in cleaning, disinfection and public health. Strengthen the work of drinking water, food and environmental sanitation in tourist attractions, ensure the normal travel activities of the masses, and minimize the risk of epidemic spread.
(3) Strengthen epidemic prevention and control in key units and places. Do a good job in the normal prevention and control of key units such as shopping malls, supermarkets, farmers’ markets, hotels, restaurants, homestays, schools, construction sites, factory workshops, pension welfare institutions and supervision places, urge the implementation of Covid-19’s vaccine vaccination, strengthen health monitoring and nucleic acid sampling, and implement the system of "daily report" and "zero report". Staff and visitors should wear masks and take measures such as detecting body temperature and checking health code to avoid cluster epidemic in the workplace. Implement the responsibility of prevention and control of catering units, keep epidemic prevention supplies, wear masks for employees, strictly scan the code for temperature measurement, and advocate controlling the number of diners and the distance between meals.
(4) Strengthen personal protection. Carry out popular science propaganda through multiple channels, educate and guide the public to strengthen self-protection, and wear masks in closed places such as public transport, elevators and outdoor places where people gather. Pay attention to wash your hands frequently, cover up when coughing or sneezing, and keep a social distance of more than 1 meter. Indoor windows are often opened for ventilation to keep the air circulating. People aged 60 and above and patients with severe chronic diseases should try to reduce going to crowd gathering places.
(5) Actively promote vaccination. Accelerate the vaccination of Covid-19 vaccine to strengthen the needle, the key population should be connected, and ensure that people in need of vaccination can get the vaccination service in time. Actively and steadily carry out vaccination for people aged 3-11 without taboos, and do a good job in vaccination for the elderly aged 60 and over.
Six, strengthen the ability of emergency response to the epidemic.
(1) Strengthen organizational leadership. All localities should clarify the "four-party responsibility" of territories, departments, units and individuals, strengthen the responsibility system for epidemic prevention and control, and make overall plans for epidemic disposal and people’s livelihood security. The joint prevention and control mechanism at all levels is always activated, and all work classes are kept on duty 24 hours a day. All relevant border provinces and port cities should further strengthen communication and coordination with foreign countries according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, establish a multi-level joint prevention and control mechanism, and strengthen cooperation in information sharing, measures docking and emergency response. Departments in charge of various industries should carry out guidance and supervision duties, and supervise and manage the implementation of prevention and control measures in this industry according to laws and regulations. All enterprises and institutions should implement the main responsibility and strictly implement the epidemic prevention and control regulations. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and guidance to promote individuals and families to consciously implement epidemic prevention and control measures.
(2) Prepare personnel and materials. All localities should designate hospitals with strong comprehensive ability, high treatment level and good foundation for infection prevention and control as designated treatment hospitals. Strengthen the reserve of nucleic acid detection capacity, the areas and grass-roots units where ports and land border crossings are located should strengthen the reserve of mobile nucleic acid detection equipment and the allocation of detection power, and rely on existing resources to speed up the construction of nucleic acid detection information systems. Rebuild and reserve a number of centralized isolation places that meet the requirements and establish a list of standby centralized isolation places. Strengthen the training and drills of teams such as flow adjustment, nucleic acid detection, treatment, community management and supervision, and make good arrangements for standby. Reasonably determine the list of epidemic prevention materials and establish a storage rotation system. All relevant departments in all localities should carry out in-depth and meticulous training on the prevention and control of normalized epidemic situation, carry out drills on epidemic situation disposal as soon as possible, compact responsibilities, timely check and fill shortcomings, and focus on solving the "last mile" problem of implementing prevention and control measures.
(3) Strengthen the speed of emergency response. Once a local cluster epidemic occurs, it is necessary to strictly implement the "Guidelines for the Disposal of Cluster Epidemic in COVID-19 (Revised Edition)" and the requirements of the emergency response plan for cluster epidemic, immediately start the emergency command system, quickly implement the upgraded command and flat operation, make decisions at the provincial level, and implement them at the city and county levels. Responsible comrades of relevant provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) and health departments led a team to direct the disposal. In principle, medium and high-risk areas were designated within 5 hours after the diagnosis of infected people, and they were released to the public, striving to implement relevant emergency measures within 24 hours, strictly limiting the flow of risk personnel, preventing the cross-regional spread of the epidemic and controlling the epidemic as quickly as possible. All localities should use information technology to improve the level of accurate prevention and control, and improve the timeliness and accuracy of epidemic prevention and control and risk personnel investigation.
Seven, strengthen supervision and inspection and responsibility implementation.
(a) to carry out special supervision at the national level. During the "Two Festivals" period, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council sent a special inspection team to prevent the import of overseas epidemic situation, focusing on land, water, air ports and border crossings, centralized isolation places, international navigation ship repair shops, imported cold chain enterprises, centralized supervision warehouses and other places with high risk of epidemic situation import, focusing on unannounced visits, unblocking complaint reporting channels, checking the implementation of prevention and control measures, especially weak links, and promptly feeding back to relevant places and urging the establishment of reforms. If the rectification is not timely or in place, it should be notified to the whole country, and the relevant personnel should be held accountable according to the law. It is necessary to focus on the prevention and control work in port areas bordering neighboring countries with serious epidemics and port areas where local epidemics have occurred many times, and carry out "looking back" when necessary. All localities should investigate the responsibilities of relevant individuals, managers and leading cadres in accordance with laws and regulations in response to epidemic-related violations.
(two) to urge all localities to carry out self-examination. All localities should carry out a comprehensive self-examination of epidemic prevention and control work, adhere to the combination of clear investigation and unannounced visits, carefully find out the risk points and weak links of prevention and control, and fill short-board loopholes in time. The problems found in the inspection should be urged to be rectified and implemented by relevant parties. For typical problems, we should inform them, use the case as a warning, draw inferences from others and learn lessons. For units with many problems, it is necessary to supervise and urge the rectification to be in place.
(3) Strengthen daily supervision and law enforcement inspection. Departments in charge of health, market supervision, cultural tourism and other industries should strengthen daily supervision and law enforcement inspection, focusing on the implementation of laws and regulations on the prevention and control of infectious diseases and related policies and regulations. Highlight public places, catering units, medical institutions, schools and other key units, and supervise and inspect the implementation of national health standards and prevention and control measures for hotels and other accommodation places, theaters and other closed places, shopping malls and other places where people flow intensively.
Do a good job in the prevention and control of the epidemic situation in the capital and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics. Adhere to the comprehensive integration and integration of the epidemic prevention and control of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games with the epidemic prevention and control of the host city. We will implement the overall epidemic prevention and control plan for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games, the epidemic prevention and control plan for the opening and closing ceremonies, venues, audience organizations and other fields, the epidemic prevention manual, and various prevention and control measures issued by the joint prevention and control coordination mechanism for the strict management of the capital in Beijing, and check the table, check the leaks and fill the gaps to ensure foolproof. Scientifically implement prevention and control strategies such as zoning and classification, closed-loop management, adhere to the same inspection and prevention of people, things and environment, implement strict closed-loop management for overseas personnel throughout the process, do a good job in audience organization and epidemic prevention and control, and strictly implement measures such as wearing masks, gathering less, preventing and controlling epidemics without overlapping zoning and routes of different people.
The implementation time of this scheme is from the date of issuance to March 15, 2022. The measures in this plan are based on the current overall stable epidemic situation. If there is a large-scale local cluster epidemic and there is a risk of spread in different places, stricter measures should be taken on the cross-regional mobility of personnel and the investigation of risk personnel on the basis of emergency handling of the epidemic.
