The State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on the 26th. Mi Feng, spokesperson for the National Health Commission and Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department, said that as the May Day holiday approaches, personnel mobility has increased. We need to implement prevention and control measures in accordance with the requirements of "Class B and Class B management", continuously strengthen monitoring and early warning, closely track the dynamics of the epidemic and virus mutations at home and abroad, strengthen normalized epidemic prevention and control in key institutional locations, and facilitate safe and convenient travel for the public, as well as healthy and peaceful holidays. Recently, the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control in the country has been stable, with sporadic outbreaks in various regions, and some areas showing signs of a slight increase in the epidemic. "He Qinghua, a first level inspector of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Department of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, said that the monitoring data of fever clinics nationwide shows that the overall epidemic situation is in a low level of fluctuation, especially in early April, when the epidemic dropped to its lowest level since December 2022. After mid April, The number and proportion of positive cases per day showed a slight upward trend. He Qinghua said that experts believed that with the passage of time and the reduction of the level of immune protection of some people in China, the epidemic situation in some areas began to rise slowly in the near future. The infected people are mainly concentrated in three categories of people: the uninfected people, the people whose immune level has declined, and the people with immune deficiency. Overall, experts believe that the possibility of a large-scale epidemic occurring nationwide in the short term is relatively low. Currently, the Omicron variant XBB.1.16 has been detected as imported in China. What is the transmission and pathogenicity of this variant? According to Chen Cao, a researcher at the Institute of Viral Diseases of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, overall, local cases are still mainly BA. 5.2 and BF. 7 and their sub branches, while XBB and its sub branches are growing rapidly. Recently, the XBB variant has accounted for absolute advantage in imported cases, and the proportion of XBB variant in local cases has increased significantly, from 1.5% at the beginning of March to 18% from April 10 to 19. The World Health Organization believes that current evidence suggests that the global epidemic risk of XBB.1.16 is lower than that of XBB.1.5 and other ongoing variants. Although XBB.1.16 has been observed to have certain transmission advantages and immune escape capabilities comparable to XBB.1.5 in different countries, including populations with XBB.1.5 as the main epidemic strain, there have been no reports of increased severe hospital admissions and deaths due to infection with XBB.1.16. The large-scale movement of personnel during the May Day holiday may increase the risk of epidemic transmission, but the possibility of large-scale epidemic transmission is low. "He Qinghua suggests that the public strengthen self health monitoring during travel or travel, and closely monitor the situation of infectious diseases in the destination. During the journey, take personal self-protection measures and maintain good hygiene habits. Guo Yanhong, Director of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health Commission, stated that during the May Day holiday, it is necessary to ensure the people's access to medical treatment and further strengthen epidemic monitoring and analysis. We will strengthen the preparation of fever clinics, treatment beds, medical equipment, and other materials, and strengthen the training of medical personnel and the consultation and inspection work of experts. Han Jinghua, Deputy Director of the Transportation Services Department of the Ministry of Transport, said that it is expected that the number of commercial passenger transport and self driving trips will reach a record high since 2020
