The progress of epidemic response in Dazu District, Chongqing (Epidemic Prevention and Control in Dazu County)

Affected by imported cases from outside the district, since the first case of infection related to outside the district was discovered in Dazu District on November 2, as of 20:00 on November 10, a total of 263 cases of infection have been reported in our district. Among them, 123 were confirmed mild cases and 140 asymptomatic infections. Except for the first case in Shima Town and the positive case in Baoding Town, they were all found among quarantine control personnel.

The current epidemic response work:

First, do a good job in rapid circulation to catch up with the sun. Under the guidance of the municipal expert group, we promptly optimized the sun tracing and transshipment mechanisms, adopted the "dedicated group collaboration" model of "three public forces + town and village cadres", and made every effort to trace the source, find the person, cut off the chain, and control the situation. So far, a total of 3,267 close contacts and 928 sub-close contacts have been tracked, and classified control measures have been implemented.

The second is to carry out efficient and comprehensive nucleic acid testing. Since November 2, four expanded nucleic acid tests have been carried out across the region, with a total of 2.9 million people tested. On November 10, Dazu District will launch the fifth round of expanded nucleic acid testing.

The third is to properly handle the epidemic situation in Dazu No. 1 Middle School. A headquarters was quickly established and professional and capable personnel from medical, hospital infection, psychology, and disinfection departments were stationed in the school. Scientific classification and precise control were carried out, and transportation and isolation were carefully organized. For key areas of risk transmission, door-to-door testing will be carried out in dormitories to avoid cross-infection. Strengthen humanistic care and psychological counseling for students, set up a "Beautiful Mind" counseling group, and station in isolation points to ease students' emotions. Carry out the "Isolation, No Separation of Love" care activity.

The students who are currently being quarantined and treated in designated medical institutions are generally calm and cooperative, and their parents are understanding and supportive. The school's epidemic prevention and control work is generally stable.

The fourth is to continue to strengthen social control. Strictly control "gathering", manage "liquidity", and suspend gathering activities such as promotions, trainings, and conferences. We will continue to strengthen prevention and control measures in key places such as schools, hospitals, and nursing homes, and suspend the operations of mahjong parlors, KTVs, teahouses, cinemas and other entertainment venues with dense crowds and closed spaces. Strictly implement measures such as Yukang QR code verification and entry within 48 hours with a negative nucleic acid certificate for public places. Strengthen the supply of materials to ensure sufficient quantity and stable prices, and the overall social situation of the region is stable and orderly.

At present, the epidemic prevention and control work in Dazu District is carried out in an orderly manner. Next, we will focus on emergency response work with tightness, speed and detail, strive to control the epidemic on the smallest scale, at the fastest speed, and at the smallest cost, and resolutely protect the safety and health of the people.
