The scene of the conference

People’s Daily Online, Jinan, March 27 (Gongxue) On the afternoon of March 26, the Shandong Provincial Government Information Office held the 15th press conference on the prevention and control of the epidemic in 2022, introducing the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia in Shandong Province. condition. Zhang Liansan, Deputy Director of the General Office of the Shandong Provincial Government and Executive Deputy Director of the Office of the Leading Group (Command) of the Provincial Party Committee for Coordinating Epidemic Prevention and Control and Economic Operation, said that at present, the province’s epidemic prevention and control has continued to stabilize and improve, and the prevention and control has achieved results. show further. As of the 25th, the daily number of newly confirmed local cases in the province dropped to single digits for the first time in 20 days. Binzhou reported that the number of newly infected people has dropped for 6 consecutive days, and the epidemic situation is accelerating.

From 0:00 to 24:00 on March 25, 2022, the province reported 4 new local confirmed cases, 75 new local asymptomatic infections, 2 local asymptomatic infections, and 2 new confirmed cases. The vast majority of confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections are from key populations under isolation and control. On March 25, 61 local confirmed cases in the province were cured and discharged, and 58 cases of asymptomatic infection were released from medical observation.

Mu Shanyong, deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Health and Health Commission, introduced that Shandong has strengthened its nucleic acid detection capabilities. In May 2020, it has achieved full coverage of nucleic acid detection capabilities in every county (city, district) in the province. At present, the province’s daily maximum nucleic acid detection capacity has reached 4 million. Recently, the Provincial Party Committee’s Leading Group for Coordinating Epidemic Prevention and Control and Economic Operation (Headquarters) issued a notice, requiring all localities to increase laboratory construction and renovation, and rapidly improve mobile detection capabilities. It is planned that by mid-April, the province’s nucleic acid detection capabilities reached more than 5.1 million copies.

Shandong strengthens laboratory quality control. Strictly implement the “five musts” of nucleic acid testing laboratories: it must be filed in a secondary biosafety laboratory; it must pass the review and acceptance of the provincial clinical inspection center; technicians must be trained and qualified; sample transfer personnel must be trained and qualified; Interstitial evaluation and qualified. Timely organize all testing laboratories to participate in the inter-laboratory quality assessment organized by the national and provincial clinical inspection centers, organize municipal-level quality control once a month, and suspend inspection and rectification for laboratories that fail the quality assessment and inspection. At the provincial level, 8 special trainings for nucleic acid testing personnel have been carried out successively, and more than 25,000 people in the province have obtained nucleic acid testing qualifications.

Establish a detection support mechanism. Set up 23 nucleic acid testing support teams, each with a daily testing capacity of 10,000, establish a personnel information ledger, and maintain a standby state at any time. According to the principle of assisted testing by 5 cities around cities with a population of more than 5 million, and 4 cities surrounding cities with a population of less than 5 million, we have determined the testing support areas for all staff in 16 cities in the province. In the event of an epidemic, on the basis of giving full play to the city’s nucleic acid detection capabilities, it is quickly sent to other cities in the area for testing.

Strengthen actual combat drills. Shandong adheres to the combination of policy and technology, theory and practice, online and offline, and comprehensively carries out personnel training in all aspects from specimen collection to nucleic acid testing. Each city regularly conducts emergency drills in the form of desktop deductions, scenario simulations, and practical drills to simulate the handling of the epidemic in different scenarios, and to test the preparations of each city in terms of case admissions, isolation sites, matching of collection and inspection, and dispatching of epidemic prevention materials to further improve Epidemic handling capacity.
