On the 26th, on Fuzhou Road, Shanghai, medical staff carried out nucleic acid testing and sampling for citizens.
On the 25th, 1661 new confirmed cases were reported in Shanghai, There were 15,319 asymptomatic infections and 52 deaths. Sun Xiaodong, deputy director of the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said, “Although the epidemic situation is still fluctuating at a high level recently, the total number of positive infections reported on the 26th has further decreased from the previous day, reaching more than 2,000 cases, a decrease of 13%. , this is also the largest decline since the epidemic began to decline, and more than 90% of the new positive infections were found during the period of closed control or centralized isolation.”
Added 52 A total of 52 new deaths were reported in Shanghai on April 25, with an average age of 83.1 years, the youngest age 33 years old, and the oldest age 100 years old. . The 33-year-old patient, male, died of sudden cardiac and respiratory arrest due to ineffective rescue. He was diagnosed with sudden cardiac death and had received 2 doses of the new coronary pneumonia virus vaccine. The other 51 patients were complicated with multi-organ underlying diseases, including advanced liver cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute coronary syndrome, severe hypertension, diabetes, sequelae of cerebral infarction, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and uremia. Serious diseases of vital organs. The immediate cause of death is the underlying disease.
On April 25, 1,941 confirmed cases in Shanghai were discharged from hospital, and 12,871 cases of asymptomatic infections were released from centralized isolation and medical observation. The above-mentioned people will return to their places of residence for health monitoring. Zhao Dandan, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, introduced at a press conference held on the 26th that the “Certificate of Release of Medical Isolation” is the equivalent certificate for the negative nucleic acid report and the green code of the health code for discharged personnel. All district village committees, property management committees, property management companies, etc. shall not prevent positive infected persons and discharged persons from returning to their places of residence for any reason.
Positive infections reported on the 26th
13% less than the previous day
Sun Xiaodong, deputy director of the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, was answering the question about the spread of the virus in the current round of the epidemic in Shanghai When asked about the characteristics and other issues, he said that as of now, the results of the virus gene sequencing of the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention have shown that most of the new coronaviruses that caused this round of local epidemics are Omicron BA.2 and BA.2.2 types. “The characteristics of the Omicron variant include fast transmission speed, strong transmission power, and strong concealment. To sum up, it is precisely because of the characteristics of the Omicron variant itself, so in the early stage of this round of epidemics, when we found out In the case of positive infection, the epidemic has actually spread covertly within a certain range, and then further spread rapidly through wholesale markets, vegetable markets, collective units and other crowd gathering places, until it further triggered widespread community spread in a relatively short period of time. spread, resulting in the current epidemic situation.” Sun Xiaodong said.
Sun Xiaodong said that although the recent epidemic situation is still fluctuating at a high level, the total number of positive infections reported on the 26th has further decreased from the previous day, reaching more than 2,000 cases, a decrease of 13% , this is also the largest decline since the epidemic began to decline; more than 90% of new positive infections were found during the period of closed control or centralized isolation.
The main reason why the current epidemic continues to fluctuate at a high level is that some key areas and places such as old residential quarters in central urban areas, urban villages in urban-rural fringes, and large enterprises are difficult to control due to objective constraints. Larger, coupled with the above-mentioned characteristics of the virus, it is very easy to form cross-infection and cluster epidemics. In response to the above difficulties, Shanghai has carried out targeted tackling actions. By taking measures such as speeding up the transfer of close contacts, strengthening the screening of risk personnel, and cleaning and disinfecting the environment, it has taken a multi-pronged approach to curb the spread of the epidemic.
Leaving Shanghai must be within 24 hours
negative certificate of antigen test
Shanghai held a press conference on the 26th to introduce that Shanghai strictly implements the “non-essential do not leave Shanghai” “, take various measures to strictly manage the departure of personnel from Shanghai, and resolutely prevent the spillover of the epidemic.
First, in addition to a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours, those leaving Shanghai must also provide a negative antigen test certificate within 24 hours; do relevant inspections at airports, stations and other crossings to maximize Reduce risk personnel output.
Secondly, for close contacts, sub-close contacts and other high-risk persons who have been to other places found in the convection investigation, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention will issue a letter of cross-regional assistance to each region in a timely manner, and include them in the territory of the local disease control department Management; further strengthen the work docking and information sharing with brother provinces and cities.
The third is to further implement the main responsibility of preventing spillovers, strengthen the epidemic prevention and control of key groups leaving Shanghai, such as shelter construction personnel, truck drivers, nucleic acid sampling personnel, and other stranded personnel in Shanghai, and strictly close the loop. Transfer, strict evacuation and resettlement.
