This afternoon, the State Council The joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference.
March 1-April 5
A total of 176,455 local infections have been reported nationwide
At the meeting, the Deputy Director of the National Health Commission’s Bureau of Disease Control, First-level inspector Lei Zhenglong introduced, From March 1st to April 5th, a total of 176,455 local infections were reported across the country, affecting 29 provinces. The sporadic outbreaks are intertwined, and there are frequent spillover cases and secondary outbreaks.
Since mid-March, with the effective implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures in various places, the previous 5 Among the provinces and cities, Guangdong, Shandong, and Hebei are all showing a positive trend, but the epidemic situation in Shanghai and Jilin is still developing. The epidemic situation in Shanghai is at its peak, with more than 90,000 cases reported cumulatively. There has been a lot of community transmission and spilled over to many provinces and cities. The situation of prevention and control is very severe.
Jilin Province has reported more than 60,000 cases of infection. The epidemic situation in Changchun City continues to progress and is still at a high level; Jilin City The fluctuation of the epidemic situation in the main urban area has decreased. The effective control of the epidemic in many places has proved that strict and strict measures such as isolation, control, sealing and control, and screening are still effective in responding to the new local outbreak caused by the Omicron variant, and it is scientifically necessary. The stated goal of dynamic clearing can be achieved.
Omicron is far more dangerous than the flu< /h1>Strengthening acupuncture is very important
A reporter asked questions from the current report From the point of view, most of the newly infected people in the local area are asymptomatic infected people and mild patients. Some people say that Omicron is less harmful, is that true?
“Omicron virulence decreased relative to previous strains, based on current data Look, it’s far more harmful than the so-called flu.”Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Peking University First Hospital, said that in this epidemic in Jilin, severe cases and even deaths have been reported. They are all unvaccinated, or the proportion of vaccinations is very low, which is also a very important manifestation of the harm of Omicron. In this epidemic in Hong Kong, data from the Hong Kong SAR shows that there are currently more than 1.1 million infected people and more than 8,000 deaths. The overall case fatality rate is 0.7%, which is much higher than the case fatality rate of influenza.
Wang Guiqiang analyzed that the Omicron strain currently prevalent in our country is asymptomatic infection as a whole patients and mild cases are indeed higher. First, because the virulence of the Omicron strain has decreased, the upper respiratory tract infection is mainly, the lower respiratory tract infection is relatively rare, and the incidence of pneumonia is relatively low. Second, because under the current background of vaccination, our country has vaccinated a lot, so the proportion of severe cases just mentioned is obviously low. Third, active nucleic acid screening, many patients are found during the incubation period, so the proportion of asymptomatic infections is relatively high. Fourth, of course, asymptomatic and mild cases of infection with the Omicron strain are also relatively high in young adults.
Wang Guiqiang said that the epidemic data in Hong Kong gives us a very important reminder, whether vaccination or not is related to the patient’s health. The case fatality rate is very closely related. Judging from the data on the fatalities in Hong Kong, the fatality rate of the unvaccinated population is 3.2%, the fatality rate of the one-shot vaccination is 0.96%, the two-shot vaccination is 0.14%, and the three-shot vaccination is 0.03%. It can be seen that the three-shot vaccination can effectively reduce the Case fatality rate after Omicron infection. At present, we can’t be paralyzed. On the one hand, we must adopt active and effective prevention and control strategies, and on the other hand, we must actively promote vaccination. Here, calls on the majority of elderly friends to actively get vaccinated, especially to strengthen the immunization. The third shot is very important. Only by protecting these elderly high-risk groups with underlying diseases and vaccinating them can the harm of Omicron be truly reduced.
Have a history of pollen allergy
No Contraindications for vaccination of the new coronavirus
Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization planning at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that spring is the peak period of pollen allergy. A history of pollen allergy is not a contraindication to getting the new coronavirus vaccine. Only those who are allergic to the new coronavirus vaccine or are allergic to the components of the new coronavirus vaccine or have been severely allergic to other vaccines in the past are contraindicated for the new coronavirus vaccine. If the pollen allergy sufferer is in the acute attack stage of allergy, especially if the pollen allergy causes the onset of severe symptoms such as asthma, it is necessary to delay the vaccination. Those who have a history of pollen allergy can be vaccinated. When vaccinating, the clinician or vaccinating doctor should be informed, and the 30-minute observation period after vaccination should also be strictly observed.
Main admissions in Fangcang shelter hospitals
Asymptomatic infections and mild cases
Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Peking University First Hospital, said, < strong>The Fangcang shelter hospital mainly treats asymptomatic infected persons and mild cases, without acute attacks of underlying diseases and mental illnesses. Symptomatic treatment such as traditional Chinese medicine should be given to mild cases, and antiviral drugs should be used early for those with high risk of severe disease. Closely observe the changes in the condition of all patients, pay special attention to patients with high risk factors for severe illness, monitor vital signs, blood oxygen saturation, etc., and conduct nucleic acid and CT monitoring in a timely manner. Consult to the designated hospital for further treatment.
No matter how the new coronavirus mutates
Normalized prevention and control measures can effectively control the epidemic
Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that based on the research on the mutation of the new coronavirus in the past two years, combined with the understanding of viruses such as RNA, the mutation of the new coronavirus is a continuous event. No matter how the new coronavirus mutates, the normalized prevention and control measures we take include early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment, that is, “four early” measures, extensive vaccination, and the wearing of masks, Personal protective measures such as frequent hand washing, frequent ventilation, and social distancing can effectively control the epidemic.
