Key points of marriage announcement epidemic situation

The source of the current epidemic in Hohhot is imported cases. Two wedding banquets held in a hotel in Xincheng on February 8 triggered the spread of the epidemic. There are 23 tables in this wedding banquet. It involved 165 people, and the first confirmed case was reported to 16 on the day of the wedding reception, which lasted for 8 days, so it involved a wide range and increased the risk of transmission. As a result, several outbreaks occurred in Wuchuan County, Tuzuoqi County, Helinger County and urban areas.

Academician Zhong Nanshan spoke.

In view of the current epidemic situation, recently, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, said that we should continue to attach equal importance to vaccination and public health prevention and control strategies. Under the impetus of these measures, we will eventually spend the epidemic period in a suitable time and gradually move towards the normalization of social life.

Finally, I hope that the epidemic will end as soon as possible, that everyone will return to normal work and life as soon as possible, and that the people of the whole country will be healthy! Wish you a happy life!
