The wedding banquet in Hohhot has become a key point in the spread of the epidemic. What epidemic prevention measures have been taken locally? Let's discuss this problem below, hoping that these contents can help friends in need.

According to the latest data released by the Health and Wellness Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, there were 63 cases in Hohhot on February 19. By 24: 00 on February 19, there were currently 13 1 local confirmed cases in Hohhot.

According to the information released by the Health and Wellness Commission of Hohhot, the three confirmed cases reported at the beginning of this report in Hohhot are all staff of Dongku Street refuse transfer station in Xincheng District. Two of them were found to be actively seeking medical treatment on February 15, and the other was found to be a secret worker that night.

But at this stage, the first case is not the original source of infection. According to the brand-new announcement of the press conference on COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control in Hohhot, the epidemic situation was analyzed and judged as an imported epidemic caused by Liang Moumou and Dong Moumou visiting relatives and friends in Wuchuan County of Hohhot and Damaoqi of Baotou City. However, the first three reported cases did not have the activity track of Wuchuan County and Damaoqi in Baotou City.

How did Liang Moumou and Dong Moumou spread together? At this stage, the government has not released it in detail. What is clear is that this is also a local epidemic caused by new imports from abroad.

According to the information of the press conference held on February/0/9 of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control work in Hohhot, the sequencing results of virus infection genes of 3 confirmed cases in this epidemic belong to Delta mutant strain (AY. 122 evolutionary strain), and no coding sequence with high homology can be found in the database of local cases and imported cases.

There were 3 cases in February 16, 2 cases in February 17, 42 cases in February 18 and 63 cases in February 19. Since the confirmed cases were reported in Hohhot on February 16, the number of newly confirmed cases has continued to increase. According to official reports, two wedding banquets held in a hotel in the new urban area of Hohhot on February 8 became the key link of this epidemic.

Wang Dawei, deputy director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Hohhot, stressed at the press conference that after the epidemic was imported into Hohhot, two wedding banquets held in a hotel in Xincheng District on February 8 led to the spread of the epidemic. Due to the long incubation period of the virus and frequent personnel flow during the Spring Festival, many epidemics occurred in Wuchuan County, Tuzuoqi County, Helinger County and urban areas.

These two wedding banquets have 23 tables, and the number of participants is 165. At this stage, the number of staff attending the wedding banquet has not yet been determined, but it has been eight days since the wedding banquet day when the first confirmed case was reported on 16, and the virus infection has been secretly spread in Hohhot for several days. In addition, due to the frequent movement of people during the Spring Festival, except Hohhot, there are still outbreaks in Wuchuan County, Tuzuoqi County and Helinger County, which have spread to Baotou.

Wu Liang, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, stressed at the press conference that the epidemic situation in Hohhot was in the early stage and the number of cases continued to increase. There is a cluster epidemic in places where people gather, such as enterprises and wedding banquets, which has a high risk of community transmission and outflow. It is necessary to investigate the source of risk and key places as soon as possible to understand the scope of the epidemic.

"This epidemic, both government departments and the public, is very fast. 16 On the day when the epidemic was reported, the street was empty in an instant. Everyone took the initiative to reduce going out and cooperate with each other to complete nucleic acid testing. " Lu Xing told the Health Times reporter.

On February 16, the new pneumonia epidemic prevention and control headquarters in COVID-19 released a message calling on the people not to leave Hohhot; Large and medium-sized lighting festivals, exhibitions, banquets, celebrations, job fairs and other collective activities in the province were suspended; Various social organizations do not hold party activities, red activities are postponed, and funerals are simple.

Since February 17, 2022, Hohhot has conducted in-depth nucleic acid testing for staff in key areas. "At this stage, everyone has done two rounds of nucleic acid, the first round on 17 and the first round on 19. The masses are very cooperative. They stand in line outside at MINUS 7 or 8 degrees and take the initiative to keep their distance. " Lu Xing said.

The residential area where several good friends of Lu Xing belong has been blocked at this stage. "During this time, everyone contacted every day. The whole Hohhot, including the blocked residential area, has sufficient materials and people's daily life is running normally."
