On the evening of March 28, Liu Hui, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Provincial Committee and Executive Vice Governor of Anhui Province came to Wuhu and presided over a video conference on epidemic prevention and control. Tao Yisheng, director of Provincial Health Commission, Shan Xiangqian, Secretary of municipal Party Committee, Ningbo, Deputy Secretary of Municipal Party Committee and Mayor , He Dong, Xiang Jihui and Wang Zhipeng attended the meeting.

After listening to the report of Fanchang District and the whole city on epidemic prevention and control work, combined with opinions of disease control experts, Liu hui pointed out that the current epidemic prevention and control situation is severe. We must give top priority to safety and health of the people, make strict arrangements, combine regular prevention and control with local emergency response, improve our capacity of scientific and targeted prevention and control, and do our utmost to minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.

Liu stressed the need to quickly activate the response mechanism, fully implement the “four early requirements”, and consolidate the responsibilities of the “four parties“. We need to speed up the tracing of the epidemic, comprehensively screen key groups, strictly implement control measures and seize priorities in epidemic prevention and control. We should focus on key areas and key links in detail, optimize the procedures for collecting, sending, testing and reporting nucleic acid tests, and accurately implement isolation and transportation, hospital-sensitive protection, and classified treatment. We should ensure an efficient command system, timely reporting of information, adequate supplies and timely response to people’s concerns. We will continue to work tirelessly to prevent imports from outside and rebound at home, strictly implement the “double screening and double testing” and “7-day quarantine + 7-day health monitoring at home” policies, and carry out high-quality and efficient nucleic acid testing. We should care for cadres and the masses, arrange work and rest in a scientific and rational way, and effectively protect the health and safety of front-line personnel.
