   The world is currently experiencing the fourth wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, with more than 10 million new cases reported every week for ten consecutive weeks. The Asian region is showing a rapid upward trend. The relevant countries and regions around my country continue to set the record for the highest number of new cases in a single day, and the risk of the introduction of the epidemic in my country is constantly increasing.

    At the press conference held by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the 15th, Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health and Health Commission, introduced that local clusters of epidemics have occurred in many places in my country recently, mainly for the Omicron variant strain, which spreads rapidly, Strong concealment. Since March, the frequency of the outbreak has increased significantly, the number of infected people has grown rapidly, and the scope of infection has continued to expand, affecting 28 provinces.

    "Recently, the epidemic situation in Jilin, Shandong, Shanghai, Guangdong, Hebei and other places is still developing. The epidemic situation in some areas is rising rapidly, and the risk of social spread and spillover is relatively high." Deputy Director of the National Health Commission's Bureau of Disease Control, Yi Yi Senior Inspector Lei Zhenglong said that at present, the response and disposal work at the locations where the epidemic occurred is proceeding in an orderly and vigorous manner, and the overall epidemic situation is still under control.

Wang Dengfeng, director of the Department of Sports, Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education, introduced that the school has a large gathering of personnel.

Lei Zhenglong said that the clinical manifestations of infected persons are asymptomatic It is mainly caused by mild and mild cases, which leads to the hidden spread of the epidemic, and the detection is relatively late.

    However, experts have analyzed and judged that my country's current general policy of "dynamic clearing" and a series of prevention and control measures are still effective in responding to the Omicron variant outbreak.

    Lei Zhenglong said that in the next step, the National Health and Health Commission will work with relevant departments to focus on the goals of "controlling frequency, reducing scale, and preventing severe illness", guiding all localities to guard and guard the import gate of foreign defense, adhere to the "four early" principle, and implement key populations, Prevention and control measures in key places and key areas, and the orderly promotion of the new coronavirus vaccination work.

   "I hope that the general public will continue to implement the prevention and control requirements such as wearing disposable face mask, washing hands frequently, not gathering, and maintaining social distance, actively vaccinating against the new crown virus, and cooperating with various work in emergency response to epidemic prevention and control, so as to jointly maintain and consolidate the Hard-won results of epidemic prevention and control."
