China News Service, Changsha, March 27 (Fu Jingyi) Since March 14, a total of 16 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia have been reported in Changsha City. For the confirmed cases reported in this round of epidemic in Changsha, the gene sequencing is all the evolutionary branch of the Omicron variant strain BA.2. After epidemiological investigation and analysis, the transmission chain is clear.
Changsha City held a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the 27th to report the recent situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control. As a provincial capital city with a population of 10 million, Changsha’s epidemic prevention and control has always been faced with the risk and challenge of “foreign defense against importation and internal defense against rebound”.
According to Liu Jiyang, director of the Changsha Municipal Health Commission, today Changsha will include the first phase, second phase and third phase of Sunshine 100 Community in Yuelu District, Hunan University School of Information Science and Engineering, Hunan University’s third canteen area, Yali Middle School and Middle School in Yuhua District. Five areas, including the Abbott school area, were adjusted to medium-risk areas. Previously, Changsha City has designated 4 medium-risk areas, 12 closed control areas, 10 control areas, and 7 prevention areas. Multiple rounds of nucleic acid tests in the above-mentioned medium-risk areas were all negative.
On March 26, Yuelu District of Changsha City found a confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia in the regional nucleic acid test. Yuhua District found that a teacher from Yali Middle School was nucleic acid positive in the second round of regional nucleic acid test preliminary screening. Provincial and municipal leaders attach great importance to it, and demand to quickly trace the source of infection, cut off the chain of transmission, weave a dense prevention and control network, mobilize social aspects, and go all out to win the battle of epidemic prevention and control and annihilation. Changsha quickly activated the emergency response mechanism, immediately implemented strict containment control and graded prevention and control, accelerated the traceability of flow control, transport and isolation, and comprehensively promoted nucleic acid testing in key areas. At present, a total of 1,025 people in close contact and sub-close contact with the two confirmed cases have been concentrated. Isolation control.
After the outbreak of the current round of the epidemic, Changsha City strives to achieve the greatest prevention and control effect at the least cost.

According to the requirements of the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism, Changsha The construction of a square cabin hospital has been started, which can add 2,450 beds; the disease control and public security teams will continue to be strengthened, and the vehicles, equipment, informatization, and logistics will be fully supported.
