Dongfang.com reporter Liu Yilin reported on March 22: This morning, Shanghai held the 130th press conference on epidemic prevention and control. According to Wu Jinglei, director of the Municipal Health Commission, on March 21, there were 31 new local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 865 local asymptomatic infections in Shanghai. Among the 31 confirmed cases, 30 were found in closed-loop isolation control, and 1 was found in nucleic acid screening of relevant risk groups. Of the 865 asymptomatic infections, 749 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, and the rest were found in nucleic acid screening of relevant risk groups.

According to reports, the 896 positive infected people released today have been closed-loop transferred to the city’s designated hospitals for new coronary pneumonia for isolation treatment or isolation medical observation. The current situation is stable. As of 9:00 on March 22: A total of 25,587 close contacts in Shanghai have been investigated for this epidemic, and all of them have been put under control. Among them, 23,165 people have negative nucleic acid test results, and the rest are being tested. A total of 60,883 people in close contact in Shanghai have been investigated, and all of them have been put under control. Among them, 56,542 people have negative nucleic acid test results, and the rest are being tested. Based on epidemiological investigations and risk assessments, we have screened people in multiple regions. Except for the reported confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections, the results have been negative so far.

According to the relevant requirements of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and the confirmed cases announced today, and after the study and decision of the Office of the Municipal Leading Group for the Prevention and Control of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic The village Fengqiao Nanzhai is listed as a medium-risk area, and relevant areas have implemented control measures. After research, No. 233, Henan North Road, Beizhan Street, Jing’an District, will be adjusted from a medium-risk area to a low-risk area immediately, and the risk level of other areas in Shanghai will remain unchanged.

At present, Shanghai is facing the most severe and complex challenge of the epidemic situation since the normalization of prevention and control, which has brought great challenges to the traceability and prevention and control work. We must adhere to the principle of “preventing imports from abroad and preventing rebounds from within”, constantly improving the level of differentiated and precise prevention and control in different regions, quickly and effectively deal with clustered epidemics in local areas, and maximize the protection of people’s lives and health.
