The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on November 10 to listen to the report on the prevention and control of the COVID-19, and to study and deploy 20 measures to further optimize the prevention and control. The meeting pointed out that at present, COVID-19 continues to mutate, the global epidemic situation is still prevalent, and new outbreaks in China continue to emerge. China is a country with a large population, a large number of vulnerable people, unbalanced regional development, insufficient medical resources, and the epidemic situation in some regions still has a certain scale. Influenced by virus variation and climate factors in winter and spring, the spread scope and scale of the epidemic may be further expanded. The situation of prevention and control is still serious. We must maintain strategic concentration and do a good job in scientific and accurate epidemic prevention and control. The meeting stressed that we should fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, unswervingly adhere to the supremacy of the people and life, unswervingly implement the general strategy of "external prevention of input and internal prevention of rebound", unswervingly implement the general policy of "dynamic zeroing", efficiently coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention, economic stability and development security, We will protect people's lives and health to the greatest extent and minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to adapt to the characteristics of rapid virus transmission, effectively implement the "four early" requirements, make rapid progress, and avoid expanding the front and prolonging the time. We should concentrate our efforts on fighting the epidemic in key areas, take more resolute and decisive measures to tackle the problem, curb the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible, and restore normal production and living order as soon as possible. We should adhere to scientific and accurate prevention and control, improve the effectiveness of epidemic prevention, accurately analyze epidemic risk, further optimize and adjust prevention and control measures, and take more accurate measures in isolation and transportation, nucleic acid testing, personnel mobility, medical services, vaccination, service guarantee enterprises and schools, and other aspects of epidemic prevention and control, and evacuation of stranded personnel. We should vigorously promote the research and development of vaccines and drugs, and improve their effectiveness and pertinence. While implementing various epidemic prevention measures, we should strengthen analysis, research and judgment. The necessary epidemic prevention measures should not be relaxed. We should not only oppose irresponsible attitudes, but also oppose and overcome formalism and bureaucracy, and correct practices such as "layer upon layer" and "one size fits all". We should make every effort to ensure the production and living services of the people, earnestly meet the basic living needs of the people during the epidemic response period, guarantee basic livelihood services such as medical treatment, increase the care and assistance for special groups such as the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, solve the actual difficulties of the people, and try our best to maintain the normal production and work order. We should do a good job in vaccinating key populations and building barriers for epidemic prevention and control. The meeting stressed that Party committees and governments at all levels should integrate their thoughts and actions into the decision-making and deployment of the Central Committee of the Party, fully understand the complexity, difficulty and repeatability of the fight against epidemic, strengthen their responsibility, enhance their ability to fight, be responsible and conscientious, go to the grass-roots level, go to the first line, pay close attention to all aspects of epidemic prevention and control, do a good job of ideological guidance and psychological counseling, and resolutely win the battle of normalized epidemic prevention and control.
