National Health Commission: spring Festival travel will become a "big test" for epidemic prevention and control.

At the press conference of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism held on January 13, in the face of the grim and complex prevention and control situation, a number of experts said that with the Spring Festival approaching, the flow of people between urban and rural areas has increased, and it is necessary to build a solid grass-roots defense line against the epidemic.

Mi Feng, spokesman for the National Health Commission, said that according to the local sporadic cases and cluster epidemics reported in many places in China, the COVID-19 epidemic shows the characteristics of long duration, wide range, fast spread, old patients, high proportion in rural areas, and so on. In some places, community transmission and multi-generation transmission have emerged, and the situation of prevention and control is complex and grim.

Judging from the recent epidemic situation in Hebei, the medical and health conditions and the capacity of medical institutions in rural areas are weaker than those in cities, and once an epidemic occurs, the risk of spread may be greater. The "sentinel" role of grass-roots township health centers and village clinics is more prominent.

"Spring Festival travel is a 'big test' for the prevention and control of the epidemic at present." Wang Bin, inspector of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission, said that compared with urban areas, most rural areas have weak medical conditions and relatively weak prevention and control capabilities, which brings challenges to epidemic prevention and control in rural areas.

She said: for rural areas, it is necessary to do a good job in touching and arranging key groups, do a good job in information registration and health monitoring within 14 days after returning home, and at the same time raise the awareness of township health centers, village clinics, and individual clinics in reporting novel coronavirus's epidemic situation, set up flow teams composed of personnel at the city and county levels in advance, and determine centralized isolation places, and so on.

"the large flow of people and gathering activities during the Spring Festival will increase the risk of the spread of the epidemic." Feng Zijian, deputy director of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, suggested that logistics will also increase during the Spring Festival, and under low temperature conditions, it is necessary to guard against the risk of imported cold chain food and other goods being contaminated by novel coronavirus.

Wang Bin called on the general public to try their best not to travel during the Spring Festival travel season, and if they must travel, they should pay attention to traffic and tourism information, and pay attention to off-peak travel, protect the whole journey, and avoid going to crowded places as far as possible. Once there are suspicious symptoms, do not panic, be sure to wear a mask, go to the nearest medical institution to see a doctor.
