There are 18 positive cases in Lhasa. Previously, there was only one case in Tibet in the past three years. What oversights are there in the epidemic prevention work?

First of all, I think there is nothing missing in the local epidemic prevention work, because the 18 positive patients found in Lhasa this time are all imported patients.

During the outbreak of the epidemic, the epidemic prevention work carried out by various regional governments was very effective. However, due to the excessive population in some cities and the insufficient number of epidemic prevention staff, this has directly led to the explosive growth of the epidemic in some areas. Of course, this is normal. After all, sometimes relying solely on the number of epidemic prevention personnel is not enough. There are 18 positive cases of infection in Lhasa.

Lhasa is a very famous city in our country and also a very famous tourist city. Of course, during the epidemic, the Lhasa region did a very good job in epidemic prevention and control. After all, before this, there was only one confirmed case in Lhasa within three years. This shows that the local government has done a very good job in epidemic prevention, and there are no omissions. However, in the Lhasa area, there were 18 positive cases of infection this time, which were discovered after an investigation by ovipositologists. All infected patients are infected by new virus strains, and all infected patients are imported cases. There are no omissions in the local area.

As a big tourist city, Lhasa needs to receive a large number of tourists every year. Therefore, we have done a very good job in epidemic prevention and control, and nucleic acid tests are conducted every day at some transportation points and at the entrances of popular attractions. This is why only one person in Lhasa has been infected with the new coronavirus in three years. We should take this as a warning and intensify our efforts.

Although the occurrence of 18 local infected patients is unfortunate, it also sounded an alarm for local epidemic prevention and control workers. Especially for some transportation points and transportation stops with large passenger flow, special nucleic acid testing sites must be set up. Only those who have passed the nucleic acid test certificate can enter the city center of Lhasa.
