CCTV News:In the face of severe and complicated epidemic prevention and control, the central government has strictly implemented various measures for epidemic prevention and control, further improved the level of scientific and accurate prevention and control, and adhered to the general strategy of "external defense input, internal defense rebound" and the general policy of "dynamic zero clearing". China’s prevention and control measures, diagnosis and treatment programs are constantly optimized and adjusted according to the changes in the epidemic situation. It faces Omicron, races against the virus, conducts multi-line operations such as diversion, traceability and treatment, and races against time to contain the virus at full speed.
The data show that the current epidemic in China is mainly BA.2 from Omicron, and the spread speed of Omicron strain BA.1 is 77% faster than that of Delta strain, and the spread speed of BA.2 is 66% faster than that of Ba.1.. Experts stressed that the characteristics of Omicron mutant’s faster spread and stronger concealment require that the epidemic prevention and control measures should be earlier, faster, stricter and more solid, and the general policy of "dynamic zero clearing" should be adhered to.


Wu Zunyou, Chief Epidemiologist of China CDC:(Dynamic) The most important thing for zero clearing is timely detection, timely blocking and timely treatment. If we can all do it early, accurately and quickly, it should be said that we only took two to four weeks to put out an epidemic in the past two years, and this timetable will be presented again in our response to the COVID-19 epidemic.

Mou Shanyong, Deputy Director of Shandong Provincial Health and Wellness Committee:In view of the characteristics of rapid spread, short intergenerational time and high concealment, we have greatly increased the frequency of detection in order to find potential infected people in time.

From the issuance of "Covid-19 Antigen Testing Application Plan (Trial)", antigen testing was added as a supplement on the basis of nucleic acid testing. At present, the number of COVID-19 antigen self-test products approved in China has increased to 14; Until the publication of "novel coronavirus Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Trial Ninth Edition)", it was emphasized that the procedure of case discovery and reporting should be optimized, cases should be classified and treated, and mild cases should be centralized and isolated management … … China is taking more effective prevention and control measures to curb the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible.

The faster the virus spreads, the more scientific and precise prevention and control will be highlighted; Delineate the latest sealed control zone, control zone and prevention zone, and strictly implement graded and precise control. In the closed control area, "the area is closed, stay indoors, and serve the door", and within the control area, "people are not allowed to leave the area and gathering is strictly prohibited".

Strengthen scientific and technological research on vaccines, rapid detection reagents and drug research and development to make prevention and control more targeted. Start the sequential booster immunization of COVID-19 vaccine, and write two specific anti-Covid-19 drugs approved by National Medical Products Administration into the latest diagnosis and treatment plan. Experts said that with more and more drugs entering the clinic, they have more confidence in the treatment of COVID-19 than before.



The analysis pointed out that the speed and intensity of blocking the spread of the epidemic should be effectively improved, the responsibilities of territories, departments, units and individuals should be consolidated, the monitoring coverage of key populations should be expanded, the multi-channel monitoring and early warning mechanism should be improved, the monitoring and early warning and emergency response capabilities of the epidemic situation should be comprehensively improved, the port prevention and control forces should be enriched, the external defense input defense line should be built, the normal prevention and control of key places such as schools should be strengthened, detailed prevention and control measures and emergency plans should be made, immunization should be promoted, and the group prevention and control defense line should be continuously consolidated.
