At the press conference on the city’s epidemic prevention and control work held this morning (May 8), Zhao Dandan, deputy director of the Municipal Health Commission, introduced: On May 7, 215 new local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and asymptomatic infections were added. 3760 cases. Of the 215 local confirmed cases, 80 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, and 135 were asymptomatic infections turned into confirmed cases. It can be seen from here that 3,840 new positive infections were actually added yesterday. Among the 3760 local asymptomatic infections, 3749 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, and 11 were found in the screening of relevant risk personnel. Among the 11 cases of positive infection, 4 cases were found in the screening of key populations, 1 case was found in the screening in the control area, and 6 cases were found in the screening in the prevention area.
As of 24:00 on May 7, there were 412 severe patients and 84 critically ill patients receiving treatment in designated medical institutions.
On May 7, 8 new local deaths were reported, with an average age of 80.6 years. Eight patients were complicated with severe multi-organ chronic underlying diseases and malignant tumors, including systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephropathy, uremia, lung cancer, coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmia, severe hypertension, and cerebral infarction. , Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes. Among the 8 deaths, 1 had been vaccinated against the new crown vaccine, and the rest were not vaccinated against the new crown vaccine. The immediate cause of death was the underlying disease or malignant tumor.
As of 9:00 on May 8: A total of 779,404 close contacts in Shanghai have been investigated for this epidemic, all of which have been put under control.
Yesterday, 941 local confirmed cases in the city were discharged from hospital, and 9839 asymptomatic infected persons were released from centralized isolation and medical observation.
On May 7, the city was divided into 10,094 closed and controlled areas, involving a population of about 2.45 million; 18,299 control areas, involving a population of about 3.82 million; and 47,263 prevention areas, involving a population of about 3.82 million About 17.02 million people.
From May 1st to 7th, about 63 million people were screened for nucleic acid, and about 126 million people were tested for antigen. We will continue to carry out the “antigen + nucleic acid” combined screening based on the three-zone division, in which nucleic acid sampling is carried out once a day in the closed area; the control area adopts a weekly “3-day nucleic acid + 4-day antigen” combined screening method; the prevention area Take the method of “1 nucleic acid + 6 antigen” combined screening per week, and enter and leave public places with a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours (if there are other requirements, follow the corresponding regulations). For urban service support personnel in the flow of delivery, volunteers, etc., “1 nucleic acid + 2 antigen tests (8 hours interval between 2 tests)” are carried out every day.
At the same time, in order to ensure that “no one is missed and no one is left behind”, “sweeping the street, sweeping the building, knocking on the door” will be carried out to strengthen the supervision of enterprises, construction sites, shops along the street, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, The inspection of hotels and social mobility personnel will assign a yellow code to the health code of those who have not been inspected. Therefore, residents are requested to actively fulfill their epidemic prevention and control obligations and participate in every inspection and screening. Thank you again for your support and participation!
Our city’s epidemic prevention and control is in a critical period of “going against the current, not advancing or retreating”, and we cannot relax or slack off. It is necessary to unswervingly adhere to the general policy of “dynamic clearing”, deepen the “ten major actions” to promote clearing, and resolutely implement the requirements of “receivable collection” and “should be separated”, so as to block the spread of the epidemic in the community as soon as possible. At the same time, it is necessary to adhere to scientific flow coordination and control, and it must not be simplistic and one-size-fits-all.
We have also noticed the emergence of new coronavirus variant strains in Shanghai, and here is an explanation: our city continues to carry out gene sequencing of new coronavirus samples. Typing, mainly Omicron BA.2 and BA.2.2 mutants, no new mutants with stronger transmission have been found.
