On the afternoon of July 25, the Press Office of the Chengdu Municipal People's Government held a press conference on the prevention and control of the epidemic situation, and the latest progress of Chengdu's new crown pneumonia epidemic in Chengdu was notified.

Fan Shuangfeng, director of the Emergency Office of the Chengdu Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced at the meeting that there are currently two new crown epidemic dissemination chains in Chengdu, of which the "7.15" epidemic situation continues to improve. On July 24th and 25th, a total of 3 positive infections were added. All close contacts in isolation control. However, the "7.20" epidemic situation associated with other parts of the province is more complicated and severe. Since the discovery of the first case on July 22, Chengdu has reported in less than four days and has reported 76 positive infections. Fan Shuangfeng pointed out that in the past two days, patients with positive infections have been discovered in risk areas, and infected people have social activities before isolation and control, and new positive infections will continue to be detected in the future.

At present, Chengdu has completed the gene sequencing work of some cases in the "7.20" epidemic, and the results are BA.2.38, Omikon's mutant strain. This mutant strain spread faster and more concealed, and in other cities across the country, it also caused a large -scale epidemic situation. Fan Shuangfeng said: "This has brought a great challenge to us. The difficulty of controlling the epidemic. But at the same time, it is also necessary to understand that the existing prevention and control methods are also effective for the treatment of the new crown epidemic. In addition to the higher requirements for professional institutions, it is necessary to grab time and speed. Understand, support and cooperate. "

Fan Shuangfeng particularly emphasized that the trajectory of case activities in the epidemic situation is more concentrated in the central urban area. Please pay attention to the case trajectory and risk areas of the "Healthy Chengdu" official. In contrast, check whether you have overlap, avoid going to relevant areas, reduce exposure, and avoid being given yellow code because of the overlapping trajectory, affecting life. It is not comfortable to wear a mask in summer, but it is the simplest and most economical method for preventing and controlling the new crown. Regardless of the elderly, children, or workers, we must wear masks where they are gathered indoors or outdoor people. In this epidemic, some people did not wear masks during the process of buying vegetables and walking, infected with close contact with cases. Once infected with new coronary pneumonia, it will affect physical health and also affect work, study and life arrangements. Therefore, please please pay attention to personal protection, keep your hands in mind, ventilate more, and gather less, and cooperate with trajectory reporting and nucleic acid testing.
