The village party secretary of xianyang, Shaanxi Province was punished for welding the gate of Xi 'an returning villagers. Why did the village party secretary do this?

Epidemic situation is command, and prevention and control is responsibility. The village party secretary of Xianyang led people to weld the gate of Xi 'an returnees to achieve the purpose of isolation and epidemic prevention. In the face of the raging epidemic, countless retrograde people staged touching pictures, which made us really feel the power of unity. However, the "loyalty to family" behavior and seemingly "effective" warning measures of Xianyang village branch secretary actually violated the personal freedom of residents, so they were also punished accordingly.

So what lessons can we learn from this incident?

First, the epidemic prevention work should not adopt a tough "one size fits all" policy, but should have a human touch. For the returnees in this incident, the branch secretary of Xianyang village should be rational and popularize the importance of epidemic prevention and control, so that the returnees can truly realize the importance of home isolation; For those who don't listen to dissuasion, we should choose reasonable control measures instead of adopting this inhuman "welding door" way. Such illegal measures to restrict personal freedom will only have a negative impact on epidemic prevention.

Second, returnees in epidemic areas should raise their awareness of epidemic prevention, and they should not stand by and stay out of it. In the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, it is everyone's responsibility to prevent it. For example, the returnees in this incident should report to the local village committee in accordance with the local epidemic prevention and control requirements in Xianyang, and at the same time take corresponding protective measures to cooperate with relevant departments to conduct home isolation and nucleic acid testing, which is not only responsible for themselves, but also for the people in the village.

In this incident, the returnees did not listen to dissuasion, went out many times during the period of home isolation, and ignored the life safety of others, and should be punished accordingly; However, the tough behavior of Xianyang village cadres "putting righteousness above family members" also violated the concept of governing the country according to law in China, so they were also warned by the party. In the special period of epidemic spread, it is still necessary to remind everyone that epidemic prevention depends on the orderly organization and scheduling of relevant departments, and everyone's consciousness and love are also essential. We must obey the arrangement and scheduling of the epidemic prevention department. Only in this way can we defeat the COVID-19 epidemic better and faster.
