Plague risk map of 57 banner counties in Inner Mongolia. What is the current plague situation?

Previously, the Urad Zhongqi People's Hospital in Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia reported a suspected case of bubonic plague, which attracted widespread attention. Subsequently, Inner Mongolia announced a map of plague risk in 57 banner counties. The current plague situation is pretty good and is under the control of the government, but we still cannot take it lightly.

Afterwards, the local government issued a level three warning for plague prevention and control on July 5. The warning period lasted from the day of release to the end of 2020, which means that this will be a protracted battle. In addition, in accordance with the requirements of the plague control emergency plans of the country, autonomous regions, etc., the Bayannur Municipal Health Commission will promptly release and adjust the warning information based on the grading status of the plague epidemic warning. I hope everyone can pay attention to it in time. Relevant data show that from last year to the present, several cases of bubonic plague infection have occurred in Xilingol League, Ulanqab City, and Bayannur City in Inner Mongolia. The previous suspected case reported in Bayannur City was also reported in July. The diagnosis was confirmed on the 5th, and this series of turmoil has attracted frequent attention from the society.

On July 7, 3 plague sites have been discovered in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. 15 close contacts have been placed under home medical isolation and observation, and 5 of them are in the Urad Middle Banner epidemic site. The grassland tourist attractions were ordered to close. In fact, Inner Mongolia is a historical natural foci of plague outbreaks, distributed in approximately 57 banner counties, with a total area of ??337,000 square kilometers. However, Wei Zhiguo, deputy director of the Inner Mongolia Department of Culture and Tourism, said that the current epidemic prevention and control measures in Inner Mongolia are still in place, and it is safe to travel to the grasslands. But if you want to travel to the local area, you must pay attention to personal protection to avoid adverse consequences.

In general, the current plague situation is not very serious. There is no need to be overly cautious, and of course, we cannot ignore it. Try to stay away from plague areas, pay attention to personal protection, and avoid adverse consequences, which is the greatest support for plague prevention and control.
