How did Guangdong quickly control the Lufeng epidemic?

What are the beneficial experiences in Guangdong's rapid and effective control of this epidemic? Duan Yufei, director of the Provincial Health Commission, stated that Guangdong's work in dealing with this epidemic can be summarized as "six persistences" and emphasized two key points:

 One is to adhere to the overall planning and deployment of the party committee and the government, and always maintain a strong organizational command. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, our province has resolutely implemented the spirit of General Secretary Jinping’s important speech and important instructions, insisted on the people's supremacy and life first, and treated the epidemic as the most important and most urgent task at present.

 Under the strong leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, the relevant departments of the province, Shanwei City and Shenzhen have resolutely implemented the various prevention and control work arrangements of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, racing against time and working day and night to implement joint prevention and control measures.

 The second is to adhere to the province's "one game of chess" and quickly concentrate the strongest forces to contain the epidemic as soon as possible. The Provincial Command Office held three video dispatch meetings across the province to coordinate and dispatch epidemic prevention and control work. On August 14, the province dispatched two prevention and control work steering groups as soon as possible, led by two deputy directors of the Provincial Health Commission, stationed in Shanwei City and Shenzhen City respectively to guide the epidemic handling work. At the same time, “three teams” including expert teams, epidemiological investigation teams, and nucleic acid testing teams were quickly dispatched to support Shanwei and Shenzhen. All relevant cities and units resolutely obey the unified dispatch of the province and cooperate fully.

 The third is to adhere to the "four morning" requirements and always maintain the sensitivity of sentinel monitoring. This epidemic was discovered at an earlier stage through the normalized detection of fever clinics. Medical and health institutions managed to deal with and report at the same time, which won the "proactive" for the follow-up prevention and control work.

 The fourth is to adhere to the principle of rapid treatment, quickly carry out epidemiological investigations, scientifically determine confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections, close contacts, general contacts, and populations in the prevention and control area, and accurately delineate the prevention and control units and Regions, accurately assess the risk of the spread of the epidemic, and take prevention and control measures such as isolation as soon as possible to cut off the route of transmission.

  Fifth, insist on "all inspections should be inspected" and "willing to inspect all inspections", and give full play to the "mine clearance" role of nucleic acid testing. For confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections, close contacts, general contacts, and personnel in prevention and control areas, nucleic acid testing and investigation shall be carried out to ensure that no one is missed.

 Sixth, adhere to scientific prevention and control, precise management and control, and strictly prevent community communication. Defining the scope of prevention and control areas in accordance with the minimum unit, identifying key locations and links for prevention and control, resolutely prevent the spread of the epidemic in the community, and reduce the impact on normal production and living order.

 On this basis, Duan Yufei believes that two points must be achieved: First, mobilize the participation of the whole people and implement group prevention and control. It is not only necessary to implement the responsibilities of territories and departments, but also to implement the main responsibility of prevention and control of the enterprise. Everyone must act as the first person responsible for their own health, and quickly form a coordination mechanism in the whole society to effectively prevent and control the epidemic. The second is to make information public and respond to concerns in a timely manner. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Guangdong has held three provincial-level epidemic prevention and control press conferences within half a month, quickly disseminating authoritative information on epidemic prevention and control to the society, fully answering questions and explaining questions, and promptly pacifying the people.
