A community worker in Shijiazhuang City died tragically from overwork during the organization of a full nucleic acid test.
The community worker's name was Li Ruizhi, 55, and she was a community worker at Guotai Street, Xiyuan Street, Xinhua District, Shijiazhuang City. Her family told China Philanthropy, Shijiazhuang on the city's entire domain of nucleic acid testing, Li Ruizhi took the initiative to the community to request participation in the nucleic acid testing point of registration of personnel information and on-site order maintenance work. That night, Li Ruizhi only rested for two or three hours, and continued to work the next day. In the afternoon Li Ruizhi fainted at work and unfortunately died.
Three days of testing tens of millions of people
Beginning with the discovery of the first confirmed local case, the outbreak in Hebei has been a concentrated outbreak, with more than 200 confirmed cases.
With the onset of the cold snap, Shijiazhuang, the center of the current round of the outbreak, launched a full nucleic acid test, which was required to be completed within three days.
"Attention all residents, in the next 72 hours, all personnel in my community unified nucleic acid test, before the test, residents first prepare ID cards to wait at home, do not go out ...... in the closed-loop control period, the necessary supplies will be arranged for delivery to the community designated location to buy." Beginning in the early morning, Shijiazhuang City neighborhoods to implement closed-loop management, the community constantly remind everyone to actively cooperate with the staff to do a good job of nucleic acid testing.
How to complete the sampling and testing of ten million people in the shortest possible time? Officials explained that on top of the testing force consisting of more than 19,000 people invested in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province urgently drew more than 3,000 medical personnel from other cities in the province to support Shijiazhuang.
A Hengshui City medical staff member assisting Shijiazhuang told China Philanthropist that in order to complete a large number of nucleic acid tests in a short period of time, each of them was equipped with four volunteers to carry out the work, who were basically locals familiar with the local situation. The medical staff and volunteers woke up at 5 a.m. every morning, rushed to the testing site, and worked until more than 11 p.m. before returning to their lodgings, "basically not enough to sleep for five hours a day."
According to the arrangement of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism, Jiangsu and Zhejiang each set up five nucleic acid testing teams of 209 people, and each medical team carried five sets of testing equipment and instruments and 50,000 copies of nucleic acid testing reagents to support Hebei to carry out nucleic acid testing. Support teams from Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces also rushed to Hebei.
According to official data, more than 10.25 million people living in urban areas of Shijiazhuang counties in Hebei province have completed the first round of nucleic acid testing, with a total of 354 positive detections.
Currently, Shijiazhuang is about to launch a second round of all-member nucleic acid testing. This round of all-member testing seeks to take two days to complete, another day shorter than the first round of testing.
In the two rounds of the all-volunteer testing, the community is at the forefront of epidemic prevention and control, in the face of such a heavy task, the pressure of community workers can be imagined.

Community staff overworked
Li Ruizhi's family recalled to China Philanthropist, Li Ruizhi then began to work on duty with colleagues to start the community's nucleic acid testing. She worked uninterruptedly until 4 p.m., when she had a hasty midday meal, and then went back to work until late at night.
Li Ruizhi entered the Xinhua District Social Security Bureau and was assigned to work in the Guotai Street community, where she was responsible for retirement certification, social security and publicity. She is also a registered member of a love commune in Hebei Province, but also participated in a number of public welfare groups at the same time, engaged in public welfare activities for more than a decade.
"In an epidemic, the neighborhood committee is a very key position, responsible for coordinating community members, who are also the most familiar with the situation. My mother has always been particularly dedicated to her work." Li Ruizhi's family members told China Philanthropist that since the outbreak in Shijiazhuang, Li Ruizhi has basically been coming home at 2 or 3 in the middle of the night every day, and then going out to work again at 5 or 6 in the morning.
Li Ruizhi went on duty early in the morning. At 6 p.m., she suddenly fainted at work, by the 120 ambulance to the provincial people's hospital rescue, due to the failure of rescue unfortunately died.
"Her coworkers sent her to the hospital, my father and I arrived, the person has not worked, the heartbeat is gone." Li Ruizhi's son, Mr. An, told China Philanthropist.
Li Dongjun, secretary of the party branch and director of the neighborhood committee of the Guotai Street community, told the media that the work at the site of the nucleic acid test was not originally within Li Ruizhi's scope of duties. Considering her age, before the start of the nucleic acid test was actually arranged for her to be stationed in the neighborhood committee, responsible for liaison, information registration statistics and other work. But when she saw that everyone was too busy to stand still, Li Ruizhi couldn't sit still and took the initiative to go to the testing site to do a good job of supporting the work.
"Mother is usually in good health, this Shijiazhuang outbreak is more serious, from the requirement of the public to do all the nucleic acid test, she has been in the front line of work, did not rest well, overworked." Li Ruizhi's son, Mr. An, told China Philanthropist that staff from government departments had come to his home to offer condolences on the night of the incident, and said that Li Ruizhi had an accident at work, and that they hoped to be recognized as a work-related injury.
The current Regulations on Work-Related Injury Insurance stipulate that workers who are injured in accidents during working hours and in the workplace due to work-related reasons, or who die of a sudden illness during working hours and at work, or who die within 48 hours after being rescued, should be recognized as having suffered a work-related injury.
Zhou Zhaocheng, a lawyer from Beijing Yilaw Law Firm, believes that Li Ruizhi should not only be recognized as a work injury, but should also be declared a martyr.
"After the outbreak of the epidemic in Shijiazhuang, the epidemic prevention and control personnel work intensity, rest time is less, the body and the spirit of the enormous pressure, work during whatever reason to fall, but also in line with the 'in the rescue and relief and other activities to safeguard the national interest, the public **** interests of the injury 'situation, in line with the conditions for the recognition of work injury. circumstances, in line with the conditions for the recognition of work injuries." Zhou Zhaocheng said.
The relevant state departments issued the "Notice on Properly Doing the Work of Martyrs Commending Those Who Sacrificed Their Lives in the Prevention and Control of the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic," requiring that in the prevention and control of the new Crown pneumonia epidemic, the medical personnel and epidemic prevention workers who are in direct contact with the cases to be investigated or diagnosed, and who are responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, nursing care, control of infection in the hospitals, collection of specimens from the cases, detection of pathogens, and the tasks of transiting the patients with the new Crown pneumonia be given the responsibility of preventing and controlling the epidemic. Medical personnel and epidemic prevention workers who died in the line of duty due to the infection of C.N.C.Pneumonia in the performance of their duties in prevention and control work, or other sacrifices, shall be assessed (approved) as martyrs if they meet the conditions for the assessment (approval) of martyrs.
Lu Jingsheng, a professor at Renmin University of China, also said in an interview with China Philanthropist that on special occasions in the fight against the epidemic in the line of duty, in accordance with the definition of the "Heroes and Martyrs Protection Law", Li Ruizhi was assessed as a martyr without controversy, and suggested that the relevant departments of the law on its awards and posthumously regarded as martyrs.
