Has the COVID-19 epidemic in Xiangyang been effectively controlled?

There have been zero new confirmed cases in Xiangyang for four days, and new suspected cases have also dropped to single digits. Does this mean that the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has been effectively controlled?

Since there were no new confirmed cases in Xiangyang City for the first time on February 22, as of 24:00 on February 27, there have been 0 new confirmed cases in Xiangyang City for 4 days, especially in the past three consecutive days. 0; at the same time, the number of new suspected cases has dropped to single digits from more than 50 cases per day a week ago. This is inseparable from Xiangyang City's insistence on "preventing export from outside and preventing spread within the country", strengthening control and investigation, and effectively blocking the spread of the epidemic.

The first is to strengthen patient admission and isolation. The number of centralized treatment hospitals in the city has expanded from 11 to 21, and the total number of beds has increased from 598 to 5190. Among them, 2294 beds have been transferred from internal departments of the hospital, 1590 beds have been renovated, and 804 beds have been requisitioned from hotels and hotels. We have strived to increase the number of beds in military and corporate hospitals. 342 photos. Suspected cases will be treated in one room per person, and confirmed cases will be treated in isolation. Suspected patients who are still negative after two nucleic acid tests and whose symptoms have not disappeared will continue to be hospitalized for treatment; confirmed and suspected patients who meet the discharge criteria will be arranged to a centralized observation point to continue isolation and observation for 14 days to further reduce the risk of epidemic spread.

The second is to implement centralized medical observation and isolation of close contacts. In view of the difficulty of home observation management and the certain risk of transmission, Xiangyang City promptly requisitioned hotels and hotels and set up 302 centralized medical observation points and 13,219 rooms. For close contacts of confirmed and suspected cases, except those who cannot take care of themselves and other special reasons, Except for personnel, all personnel will be quarantined in single rooms for 14 days, and nucleic acid testing will be carried out comprehensively.

The third is to carry out screening and isolation of fever patients. All fever patients who visit the fever clinic will undergo CT and routine blood tests. All patients with positive CT results will be admitted to the hospital as suspected. Patients with fever who cannot be ruled out as COVID-19 will be admitted to the observation ward for suspected management and nucleic acid testing will be carried out. , isolation treatment.

The fourth is to expand epidemiological investigations and isolate. Integrate the forces of public security, market supervision, health and disease control and other personnel to carry out epidemiological investigations with greater intensity, greater precision, and a wider range, so that epidemiological investigations can outperform the spread of the epidemic. On the basis of epidemiological investigations of confirmed and suspected cases, epidemiological investigations are also carried out on close contacts of confirmed cases and fever patients with positive nucleic acid tests. Close contacts of close contacts with positive nucleic acid tests are also centralized. Medical observation.

However, we must also clearly see that being close to zero or seeing zero does not mean clearing it. Xiangyang City's epidemic prevention and control is still in the most critical period, and the epidemic situation it faces is still very severe:

First, the number of fever clinic visits remains high, reaching more than 1,000 people for three consecutive days in the past three days. The number of suspected patients needs to be ruled out or clearly diagnosed;

Secondly, there are still some asymptomatic infections that have not been completely found, which poses a risk of transmission and the possibility of a rebound in epidemic data.

Therefore, the city must be highly vigilant about paralysis, war weariness, and luck mentality, and continue to carry out comprehensive investigations to ensure that "no household is left behind, no one is left out" and "everything should be separated" and " "Collect everything that should be collected", "check everything that should be inspected", and "treat everything that should be treated"; continue to adhere to the prevention and control measures of "don't go out unless necessary", "don't leave the city unless necessary", and "don't return to work unless necessary" and resolutely implement Win the battle of annihilation and decisive battle for epidemic prevention and control.
