Zhejiang: Strengthen nucleic acid screening of risk groups such as inter-provincial freight drivers

The reporter learned from the Zhejiang Provincial Government press conference held on the 1st that due to the recent outbreaks in Jiaxing, Hangzhou and other places, both Provincial freight drivers are highly related. Zhejiang will further strengthen nucleic acid screening and isolation management of relevant risk personnel, in order to completely cut off the chain of transmission, block community transmission, and eliminate the risk of spillover.

From 0 to 14:00 on April 1, Zhejiang Province reported 5 new local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 8 new local asymptomatic infections. Since March 3, Zhejiang has reported a total of 249 local confirmed cases (225 mild cases, 23 ordinary cases, and 1 critical case in Quzhou People’s Hospital, currently in stable condition), and there are 116 asymptomatic infections.

The relevant person in charge of the Zhejiang Provincial Health and Health Commission said that on March 28, after the outbreak of the fruit and vegetable market in the Jiaxing Economic Development Zone, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government attached great importance to it and quickly and accurately delimited the “three districts”. , strengthening social nucleic acid testing, and quickly curbing community transmission and spillover risks. Since March 30, all newly infected people in the local area have come from centralized isolation points. Since the outbreak in Jiaxing is a fruit and vegetable wholesale market, and the inter-provincial freight drivers and other personnel involved are highly mobile, it is still necessary to pay close attention to regional assistance and community inspections.

According to reports, the occupational characteristics of local positive cases reported in Hangzhou recently are remarkable. Among the 15 cases of infection reported in 12 days, 10 were freight drivers who frequently traveled to and from Hangzhou and other key epidemic areas outside the province. Due to the timely disposal of cases and less social trajectories, all infected persons immediately carried out investigation and investigation work after the initial screening was positive. No secondary cases have been found so far.

It is reported that, in view of the rapid spread of Omicron variant strains, strong concealment, and high risk of epidemic importation caused by cross-provincial movement of people, Zhejiang will further compact the airport and high-speed railway into Zhejiang’s first station. The system of “dual detection on the ground” such as stations and highway intersections will strengthen the monitoring of sentinel points such as medical institutions, fever clinics, pharmacies, expressway service areas and checkpoints. Once an epidemic is detected, emergency response will be launched immediately in the area where it is located, and it will start quickly. Emergency command and work system. (Reporter Yu Wan)
