Xinjiang *** reported 76 cases of COVID-19, one of the provinces with the lowest number of confirmed cases in China. Epidemic is an order, prevention and control is a responsibility. Actions have been taken everywhere. The National Health and Wellness Commission quickly organized more than 200 people from 10 medical teams for nucleic acid testing from 10 provinces and cities to travel to Urumqi, Xinjiang, to help conduct nucleic acid testing. Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pneumonia outbreak posing a global mobile threat, the prevention and control of the outbreak in Xinjiang faced tremendous internal and external pressures. Based on Xinjiang's important geographic location and the new situation of pneumonia emerging from COVID-19, a team of experts led by leaders from relevant departments of the State Health Commission rushed to Xinjiang on July 18th.
The outbreak in Xinjiang cannot be compared with the outbreak in Beijing some time ago,but it needs to be investigated through epidemiology. On the other hand, it is necessary to compare the results of gene sequencing of novel coronaviruses in the two places to see if they are related.? It is sometimes difficult to fully investigate the transmission route of a COVID-19 epidemic. But there is no need to panic now because Xinjiang has a much lower population density than Beijing, and it should be relatively less difficult to combat.?
In response to the new outbreak, Urumqi pressed the pause button, carried out an in-depth investigation, and strictly enforced medical quarantine measures to ensure that there were zero leaks and no dead ends. All the city's parks and communities are closed, and communities are responsible for assisting with basic treatment of the disease and living assignments; minimizing the number of buses, subways and cabs and other public **** transportation, closing shopping malls and hotels, and reducing the movement of people. Experts said said? Urumqi streets without cars and no one? s content, which indicates that the prevention and control efforts are very strong.
The source of infection and the means of transmission of confirmed cases in Xinjiang, as well as the extent of the spread of the outbreak, are still under further investigation, and I'm sure they will be made public soon. Compared with the past, there is no need to panic in the face of the new outbreak, as people's awareness and attention have been greatly improved. Of course, we still need to wear masks in many places, wash our hands regularly, love hygiene and don't get together!
