Ding Bo, the person in charge of the transfer class for epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai, said that in recent days, there have been a large number of new positive infections in Shanghai every day, and the transfer work is under great pressure. There are deficiencies in both urban and urban transfers, such as untimely transfer, long waiting time, slow entry into the cabin, and unsmooth discharge procedures. Ding Bo said that Shanghai must speed up the construction of makeshift hospitals and raise more isolation beds; at the same time, take specific measures to improve the efficiency of transfer.

It is reported that in the past two days, the special class is working with the Shanghai Big Data Center to establish a transshipment digital platform system and start trial operation. It is promoting “transit codes” in transshipment vehicles and in district-level makeshift hospitals. , so that the information can be delivered in the first time, and the waiting time of transferring patients can be mastered and reduced.

Recently, Shanghai and the district have joined forces to actively convert a number of public buildings into centralized isolation points, including some school buildings, through new construction and reconstruction. In this regard, Ding Bo said that when many cities at home and abroad encounter major emergencies, school buildings are important emergency places. After the epidemic is effectively controlled, the strictest cleaning and sterilization and safety assessment will be done, and a safe, clean and beautiful campus will be returned to the children.
