Recently, the epidemic situation in many places across the country has risen again, and it has become a top priority to curb this wave of epidemic and prevent the epidemic from spreading out of control. However, the more this time, the more it tests the basic ability and quality of the governance team in related fields.

It should be noted that it has been more than two and a half years since the outbreak of the epidemic, the economy has been affected, the public's patience in epidemic prevention has been greatly consumed, and the current social psychology is gradually fragile. At this time, in case of a new epidemic, we must be calm and calm. We have a lot of experience in epidemic prevention. The interests of the government and the people in preventing the spread of the epidemic are highly consistent. To fully release this consistency, local governments must not be opposed to the people. The prevention and control measures implemented by the government must be basically understood and supported by the local people. If we want to push extreme measures, such as large-scale static management, we need to explain its necessity to the public in as short a time as possible.

Doing a good job in epidemic areas is to support the national dynamic zero-clearing route, and the introduction of improper measures has aroused fierce opposition from the masses, which has dragged down or even discredited the national epidemic prevention work. Therefore, it does not mean that a place has taken the most extreme prevention and control measures, nor does it mean that a place has the strongest position on epidemic prevention. Only those measures are really necessary and have been understood and supported by the masses can they be finally correct.
