Governor Wu Zhenglong demanded tougher measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic when going on an inspection tour in Nanjing on the prevention and control of the infected cases in Nanjing.
Wu Zhenglong pointed out that the spreading epidemic made the situation of prevention and control more severe and complicated.
He asked government and departments at all levels resolutely implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on epidemic prevention and control, earnestly implement the important instructions of Premier Li Keqiang, Vice Premier Sun Chunlan and other central leaders, and always put people’s lives and safety above everything else.
Wu Zhenglong emphasized that Nanjing is the main battlefield for the province’s epidemic prevention and control. In order to further gather the province and the city’s resources, the Provincial Leading Group for Epidemic Prevention and Control has merged with the Nanjing Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters to form a unified, efficient, provincial and municipal command system, in accordance with changes in the epidemic prevention and control situation so as to make timely consultation and judgment, strengthen measures for vigorous implementation.
Lukou Airport should further strengthen prevention and control, evacuate people to the greatest possible extent, and complete evacuation and centralized isolation as soon as possible.
Efforts should be made to fully cover the high-standard disinfection facilities and places according to the most stringent standards and requirements, in-depth investigation and remediation of hidden risks of the airport.
Community prevention and control should be further strengthened. The control measures for closed communities should be implemented in strict accordance with regulations, the prevention and control of key parts such as elevators should be strengthened, centralized isolation and home medical observation should be carried out more rigorously, and the prevention and control of communities and natural villages in the city should be implemented in detail.
It is necessary to further strengthen nucleic acid testing, improve quality, enhance capacity, and improve efficiency, make careful organization and arrangement so as to adopt efficient, coordinated, and rapid transfer of inspections.
Efforts must be made to strengthen the management and control of key places such as airports, stations, docks, schools, senior care institutions, catering establishments, farmer's markets, and closed spaces such as buses, subways, taxis, and various entertainment venues.
More resolute, stricter, and more comprehensive measures should be taken to further strengthen the prevention of the export of the epidemic. All channels from Nanjing and the province must be controlled and managed in place to reduce the impact on the overall situation of the country’s fight against the epidemic.
Wu Zhenglong demanded that service guarantees be strengthened and reserves of medical supplies, bed facilities, epidemic prevention materials, living supplies, isolation places, and professional forces be more adequate to ensure that there is nothing wrong, especially for people in high-risk areas, closed communities, centralized isolation, and home isolation.
Authoritative information must be released in a timely manner, so that the general public can deeply understand the new characteristics of the delta strain, strengthen personal protection, reduce the gathering of people, and actively cooperate with the prevention and control work.
