Li County’s Letter of Initiative to the People of the County (Sample Letter of Initiative from Li County to the People of the County)

A letter of initiative from the Office of the Li County Leading Group for Response to the COVID-19 Epidemic to the People of the County

Dear residents:

Recently, gatherings have occurred in many places across the country The epidemic has spread to more than 20 provinces. The Omicron variant has become the main epidemic strain. It is highly contagious and spreads quickly. The epidemic prevention and control situation is very serious. Joint prevention, joint control, and group prevention and control are the most effective measures to fight the epidemic. The active participation and strong support of the people of the county are the most powerful guarantee for the fight against the epidemic. To this end, the following initiatives are proposed to the people of the county:

1. Do not go out unless necessary. Pay close attention to the epidemic situation and reduce unnecessary travel. If you really need to travel, you must arrange your itinerary reasonably and avoid going to medium-high-risk and epidemic-affected areas.

2. Make proactive reports. People coming to and returning to Li must proactively report to their village, work unit, or hotel where they are staying as soon as possible. Those who fail to report proactively and lead to the spread of the epidemic will be held legally responsible. Those in the know should take the initiative to remind, persuade, and report.

3. Do a good job in health monitoring. Persons arriving and returning to Li must present a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours. They must take another nucleic acid test within 48 hours after arriving in Li. They must monitor their own health within 7 days and do not eat, gather or go out on their own during this period.

4. Reduce gathering activities. Try to live at home as much as possible, and do not organize and participate in gathering activities such as dinner parties, parties, trainings, and performances. Simply organize weddings and funerals, and take the initiative to apply for registration to the village committee, community, or work unit.

5. Consciously measure the temperature and light up the code. When entering public places such as shopping malls, supermarkets, farmers' markets, and medical institutions, you must consciously take your temperature, wear a mask, and register your information.

6. Actively cooperate with prevention and control. After learning that you are at risk of the epidemic or have an abnormal health code, you must immediately report it to your village and actively cooperate in handling the situation.

7. Standardize medical diagnosis and treatment. Once you or your family members develop uncomfortable symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, loss of sense of smell, etc., you should take personal protection and try to take a private car to the fever clinic as soon as possible.

8. Take personal protection. In daily life, insist on wearing masks, washing hands frequently, ventilating frequently, gathering less, and maintaining a "one-meter line" of social contact. It is recommended to collect express delivery without contact and do not stay in the delivery place for a long time. Try to reduce the purchase and consumption of imported cold chain foods.

9. Get vaccinated. Vaccination is an effective means to prevent and control the epidemic. Citizens who meet the vaccination requirements should receive the new crown vaccine and booster shots as soon as possible.

10. Pay attention to authoritative information. Pay attention to the epidemic information released by authoritative channels, and do not create, believe or spread rumors.

Everyone is responsible for epidemic prevention and control. Group prevention and control starts with me. We hope that the residents will consciously abide by it, tell each other, and remind each other, so that we can work together to protect our beautiful and healthy home.
