Wuhan University School of Public Health Professor Tan Xiaodong told the Health Times reporter, “At present, the Omicron variant is spreading very rapidly. Under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, precise prevention and control must be adhered to, and the response must be Prompt and prompt.”
After Shanghai reported a confirmed case of COVID-19 on March 1, 78 close contacts and 199 close contacts in Shanghai were immediately identified, and control was implemented, and the flow and distribution trajectory was quickly announced. After 7 new cases of infection were added on March 2, the transmission chain of the same elderly dance team was sorted out on the same day.
Tan Xiaodong said that accurate and timely prevention and control should pay attention to the speed of the epidemic. Omicron is spreading very fast. It is necessary to announce the trajectory of the epidemic and take control measures as soon as possible before the virus transmission chain is prolonged. At the same time, at the level of personal health responsibility, wearing a mask and washing hands frequently are the most basic.
Tan Xiaodong told reporters that under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, it is also necessary to reduce the impact of local epidemics on society. “It will be inevitable to quickly seal the control and speed up the unsealing according to the situation. After all, social development will continue, but there should be a mechanism and procedures.”
