Until the baby was in shock with feces pouring out of her nose and mouth, the doctor refused to transfer the child on the grounds that there was no nucleic acid report. He was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit for rescue, which was delayed for several hours, and finally died after the rescue failed.

For simplistic, one-size-fits-all, and “layer-by-layer” measures like the above, the State Council’s “A Package of Policy Measures to Consolidate and Stabilize the Economy”, the State Council Documents such as the joint prevention and control mechanism “Nine Prohibitions” policy, the “Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Prevention and Control of Epidemic Prevention and Control of National College Students Leaving Schools and Returning Home” and other documents have made specific explanations and adjustments.

Canceling the restrictions on the epidemic prevention of freight vehicles from low-risk areas; “Pick and chase” in medium and high-risk areas

June 11, State Council Logistics The office of the leading group for ensuring smooth access has issued a warning notice that some high-speed exit epidemic prevention checkpoints in Zhangjiakou, Hebei, Anqing, Hefei, Shaanxi and Shangluo in Shaanxi have problems such as excessive control of epidemic prevention and control, and repeated nucleic acid testing.

What kind of epidemic prevention measures should be taken for personnel related to freight vehicles from low, medium and high risk areas? On May 31, the State Council issued the “Package of Policy Measures to Solidly Stabilize the Economy”, stating that the restrictions on the passage of freight vehicles from low-risk areas of the epidemic were completely lifted. For freight vehicles coming from or entering and exiting the city where the epidemic medium and high-risk areas are located, the “collect, walk and chase” system shall be implemented.

The People’s Daily Health Client learned from inquiring about the regulations of local transportation departments that the so-called “collect, walk, and chase” means that in the “nucleic acid sampling plus antigen test” After that, the antigen test result is negative and released immediately. And implement a dynamic tracking mechanism. If the nucleic acid test result is positive, immediately notify the front to implement control measures, and must not restrict access on the grounds of waiting for the nucleic acid test result.

In addition, the “Package of Policy Measures to Solidly Stabilize the Economy” also pointed out that for mobile people, it is strictly forbidden to restrict the normal flow of people in low-risk areas of the epidemic. Passenger and freight drivers , couriers, and crew members go to non-local free testing points for nucleic acid testing and antigen testing. The local government regards local residents as being included in the testing scope and enjoys the same policies, and the required expenses are guaranteed by local finance.
