At the press conference on the city’s epidemic prevention and control work held this morning (May 18), Zhao Dandan, deputy director of the Municipal Health Commission, introduced:On May 17, our city’s new 96 new confirmed local cases of new coronary pneumonia and 759 local asymptomatic infections (click to view). Of the 96 local confirmed cases, 40 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, and 56 were asymptomatic infected patients and turned into confirmed cases. 759 cases of local asymptomatic infections were found in closed-loop isolation control.
As of 24:00 on May 17, there were 218 severe patients and 63 critically ill patients receiving treatment in designated medical institutions.
On May 17, 3 new local deaths were reported, with an average age of 69.7 years. 3 patients had malignant tumors or serious acute and chronic basic diseases, including advanced gastric cancer, sudden cardiac death, dilated cardiomyopathy, total heart failure, severe hypertension, Parkinson’s disease, renal insufficiency, etc. Of the 3 deaths, 2 had been vaccinated against the new crown vaccine, and 1 had not been vaccinated against the new crown vaccine. The immediate cause of death was the underlying disease or tumor.
As of 9:00 on May 18, the city has investigated a total of 911,343 close contacts in Shanghai, all of which have been put under control.
Yesterday, 274 local confirmed cases in the city were discharged from hospital, and 3336 cases of asymptomatic infection were released from centralized isolation and medical observation< /span>, they will return to their place of residence for health monitoring, and the community is requested to properly pick up and return.
Recently, we have continued to carry out “antigen + nucleic acid” combined screening based on three-zone division. According to the screening results, on May 17, the city was divided into 3,435 closed control areas, involving a population of about 790,000 people; 16,108 control areas, involving a population of about 2.71 million people; 52,600 districts, involving a population of about 19.8 million.
At present, the city is in the stage of consolidating the achievements of clearing and clearing. Although the social level has been cleared, the risk of finding positive infections among risk groups still exists. The pressure to increase and prevent rebound is still very high. If there are sporadic new positive infections, we need to strictly control the epidemic, do a good job of epidemiological investigation, and carry out emergency response work quickly. First, a word “fast” needs to be highlighted. Once a positive infection occurs in society, we must adhere to the fast system, coordinate the “city-district-community” three-level transfer team, and conduct an epidemiological investigation as soon as possible after receiving the report. Strictly implement the “2+4+24” work requirements, that is, the dispatch team arrives at the site within 2 hours, completes the core information of the flow dispatch in 4 hours, and initially checks the basic situation and completes the dispatch report within 24 hours. span>. Second, it is necessary to achieve a “quasi” word. Relying on the emergency command system of epidemiological investigation, give full play to the role of the “three public (industry)” collaborative working mechanism of public health, public security, and industry and information technology, combine on-site investigation and big data information, conduct comprehensive analysis, scientific research and judgment, investigate activity trajectories, and identify risks Crowd, reasonably determine the close contact and the close contact, so that “everyone should be checked, judged, and no one should be missed.” The third is to implement a “tube” word. Strictly implement various management and control measures, first of all to “transfer as much as possible”, contact the city and district transfer departments as soon as possible after positive infection is found, and complete the positive results in the fastest time and the highest efficiency under the premise of ensuring safety. Transfer of infected persons. For those close contacts who have been checked and determined, “should be isolated as much as possible, and should be isolated quickly” to block the risk of transmission to the greatest extent. For the important places or key areas involved, risk investigation and control shall be carried out in a timely manner. At the same time, combined with environmental testing, laboratory virus gene sequencing, etc., we will do a good job in tracing the source of the epidemic. I hope that citizens and friends will continue to cooperate and support the work of disease control and epidemic disposal, provide relevant information truthfully and accurately, implement isolation and control measures in a timely manner, and stop the spread of the epidemic more quickly. This is to protect oneself, protect family members, and protect others, and it is also a contribution to the recovery of normal life in Shanghai as soon as possible.
