A reporter said, "We are going to the civil affairs department immediately to preliminarily determine the distribution of victims in various disaster areas." Yesterday afternoon 14, Xiao Donglou, the earthquake relief headquarters of Sichuan Provincial Health Department and the deputy director of the Disease Control Bureau of the Ministry of Health, held an emergency meeting to discuss the sanitary norms for the disposal of corpses in post-earthquake areas and prevent and control the post-disaster epidemic caused by long-term decay of corpses.

Epidemic prevention personnel must be present when the body is disposed of.

At the same time, 100 emergency health and epidemic prevention team members from China CDC and local CDC are on their way to Sichuan. Together with the 140 people who arrived on June 5, it is planned to send them to various disaster areas late last night to cooperate with the rescue team to carry out health and epidemic prevention treatment on the bodies.

Xiao Donglou said that in order to prevent the spread of bacteria or viruses, the remains of all the victims will be treated in a centralized way, cremated as much as possible if possible, and buried on the spot if there are no conditions, but health and epidemic prevention personnel must be on the scene to carry out sanitary treatment on the remains in advance and carry out environmental protection disinfection at the same time.

Wang Guoqiang, vice minister of health, said that the main problem of post-disaster epidemic prevention at present is the water and air pollution caused by the long-term placement of corpses. At the same time, as the temperature rises, many bacteria and viruses may spread among people.

Standards for the disposal of corpses in disaster areas are being formulated.

According to reports, China CDC is currently formulating health and epidemic prevention standards for corpse disposal in Sichuan earthquake-stricken areas with reference to the sanitary disposal process of corpses after Tangshan earthquake and the sanitary disposal standards of corpses in Guangdong Province.

The Sichuan Provincial Health Department said that nine epidemic prevention teams had been sent to Chengdu, Mianyang, Deyang, Guangyuan and Wenchuan yesterday to carry out disinfection work. In addition, under the coordination of the Ministry of Health, 24 health and epidemic prevention emergency teams will be stationed in various disaster areas to assist the local authorities in sanitary disposal of dead bodies and epidemic prevention and control.

■ At the scene

Twenty-eight students were buried after DNA extraction.

Time: 15 22:00 Location: Qingchuan Muyu Town Junior High School.

Last night, around 10, the search for buried students in junior high school in Muyu Town, Qingchuan County basically ended. Dozens of students' bodies are lined up on the playground, all covered with white bedding. A parent cried and nailed a simple coffin with wooden bars, put his 16-year-old son in it, carried it to a nearby mountain and buried it. He picked up some bricks and engraved the children's names.

Some bodies are marked with numbers on the white bedding. These are children who have not been claimed by their parents for the time being. "***28." The person in charge of the Qingchuan County Education Bureau said that the schools of these students could not be recognized because of the serious deformation of the bodies. My parents didn't come to claim it because they were killed and didn't go back. The education bureau and school staff registered the characteristics of these bodies one by one, and the medical staff also extracted DNA to facilitate parents and relatives to identify them in the future.

For these bodies, the staff also buried them and left marks on the graves to distinguish them. On the hillside near the school, the trees are close together. "They can also play together." A parent who burns paper murmured.

As of yesterday, the junior high school dormitory building in Muyu Town, Qingchuan County collapsed, and the bodies of nearly 300 students who died have been basically disposed of. Most of the bodies were buried nearby and disinfected at the scene.

Some bodies have rotted beyond recognition.

Time: 15 22:00 Location: Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan.

Last night around 10, a large number of victims fled from Yingxiu to Dujiangyan near Zipingpu Dam. Houses along Yingxiu main line collapsed.

According to the armed police soldiers rescued at the scene, on June 5438+04, a strong aftershock occurred again in Yingxiu town, and some houses that did not collapse in the last earthquake collapsed again, causing landslides nearby. At present, the whole town is still in a state of water and power failure, and 1000 officers and men are engaged in search and rescue.

"Survivors were dug up the day before yesterday, but since yesterday, there are basically no survivors, and today there are even fewer." A soldier who participated in the rescue for three consecutive days said. Due to the rain for 48 hours after the earthquake and the clear sky of 15 days, bacteria grew and the corpse rotted. Once the rescuers found it, they immediately buried it underground, and it was too late to wait for their relatives to identify it.

Since the night before yesterday, health and epidemic prevention personnel from all over the country have sprayed disinfectant in the town, and the whole town is filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant. As the local injured, the elderly and children have been transferred out, there is no epidemic in the local area. The excavated bodies have also been concentrated at the foot of the mountain and will be buried deep today.

Beichuan

The decay of corpses polluted the river.

At present, there is no road epidemic prevention in 18 villages and towns, and there is a shortage of drugs 100 tons.

A reporter saw in Beichuan County yesterday that there are still many bodies of victims in the county. The whole county town stinks. Li Liulin, deputy director of Mianyang CDC, said that the current situation of health and epidemic prevention in Beichuan is grim, and the drug gap is 100 tons.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter once again entered Beichuan County, which was obviously full of the smell of rotting bodies. Under many collapsed buildings, the bodies of the victims have been corrupted, and some have been seriously corrupted. "Too many, the Civil Affairs Bureau is understaffed." Li Liulin said.

He introduced that they arranged 36 motorized sprayers for spraying epidemic prevention every day. Patrol the county every day. After finding the body, spray high-concentration chlorine-containing disinfectant before it can be transported away.

At present, the primary task of disease control personnel is to disinfect the environment, and the rescuers are disinfected every half an hour to one hour. The second is to disinfect the body.

Li Liulin introduced that Beichuan is located in the upper reaches of Weihe River. At present, the corpse is rotting, which has polluted the river. Coupled with the hot weather, Japanese encephalitis, malaria, cholera, hepatitis A and typhoid fever are all potentially dangerous. "The epidemic prevention situation is very serious now," Li Liulin said.

He introduced that there are no roads in 20 towns and villages in Beichuan except qushan town and Gu Lei, so there is no way to prevent epidemic in these places at present. "We can only follow the big troops."

According to the overall epidemic prevention needs of Beichuan, they need 100 tons of disinfection and sterilization preparation, and now it is only 5 tons. In addition, 10 tons of pesticides are needed, "but now it is only a few hundred kilograms", Li Liulin said.

■ Initiative

Sichuan's poor handling of the epidemic will be investigated.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the Sichuan provincial government 15 issued an urgent notice, requiring governments at all levels in the disaster areas to fully launch the post-disaster disease prevention and control plan to ensure that there is no major epidemic target after the disaster. At the same time, from 15, the system of daily reporting and zero reporting of public health emergencies such as epidemic situation and food poisoning in disaster areas will be implemented.

The notice requires that governments at all levels in the disaster areas should immediately set up a leading group for post-disaster disease prevention and control, and comprehensively launch a post-disaster disease prevention and control plan to ensure that there is no major epidemic target after the disaster. In case of poor disposal, outbreak of infectious diseases, mass food poisoning and other incidents, the relevant personnel should be held accountable.

Longnan epidemic prevention drugs were transported to Longnan.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the first batch of disinfectant 15 to prevent the epidemic was shipped from Lanzhou. The first batch of 1 1 urgently needed drugs and small medical emergency equipment arrived in Wudu District of Longnan City late at night on 14, and began to be distributed to counties and districts.

Shen Mingxing, chief of immunization planning department of Longnan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said: "At present, the key to prevention in disaster areas is disinfection of water sources, and the focus of prevention and control is intestinal infectious diseases." From 14, the city began to implement the epidemic situation daily report system, but as of 14, there were still 80 villages and towns in the city whose networks and telephones were disconnected.

■ Reminder

Four infectious diseases need to be prevented after the earthquake.

We need to be alert to the prevalence of four infectious diseases after the earthquake. Intestinal infectious diseases, such as dysentery, hand-foot-mouth disease, hepatitis A, etc. Respiratory infectious diseases, such as measles and rubella; Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, commonly known as "pink eye"; Japanese encephalitis.

People in disaster areas should pay attention to: ensure that contaminated food and water are not ingested, and areas with conditions should ask the relevant departments for disinfection tablets of drinking water, boil them after disinfection and then drink them; Avoid sharing towels, tableware and face washing water with others; Garbage and feces should be kept away from the safe haven as far as possible, and bleaching powder can be used to disinfect the surrounding environment if conditions permit; Animal carcasses should be buried away from safe havens and water sources, and rotting animal carcasses should be burned before burial.
