Group to analyze the current situation of epidemic prevention and control and
to study and deploy the next stage of work. He stressed that it is necessary to
conscientiously implement the requirements put forward by the CPC Central
Committee and the State Council on the epidemic prevention and control
recently, take the epidemic prevention and control as an important task at
present, accurately study and judge the new changes and new characteristics of
the epidemic situations at home and abroad, always tighten the string of
regular epidemic prevention and control, strictly implement measures for
"preventing imported cases and domestic epidemic rebound" and
"preventing human carriers and object carriers", resolutely fight the
hard battle of preventing and controlling the epidemic in winter and spring in
a steadfast spirit, and never let the hard-won achievements of epidemic
prevention and control go by the board.
Huang Qiang, Deputy Secretary of the CPC
Sichuan Provincial Committee, Acting Governor of the People's Government of
Sichuan Province and Head of the Leading Group, and Deng Xiaogang, Deputy
Secretary of the CPC Sichuan Provincial Committee and Deputy Head of the
Leading Group, attended the meeting.
The meeting pointed out that in recent
days, the CPC Central Committee has made a series of arrangements for regular
epidemic prevention and control work, which fully embodies the ruling concept
of “people first and life first” upheld by the CPC Central Committee with
Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, embodies the firm determination to intensify
regular epidemic prevention and control all the time, and embodies the
leadership ability to control a complex situation and balance development and
safety. Those important arrangements are highly proactive, instructive and
targeted. We must conscientiously study, understand and implement them.
The meeting also pointed out that the
current COVID-19 situation takes on new changes and characteristics. The global
epidemic situation is deteriorating. The domestic epidemic situation is overall
effectively controlled, but local rebounds are happening. The province is
facing greater pressure from epidemic prevention and control. Especially,
during the Spring Festival, the flow of people will grow, and collective
activities will increase, which will make it more difficult for epidemic
prevention and control. A pinpoint-sized hole may let go a big wind. The
departments at all levels in the province should conscientiously reinforce
political consciousness, overall consciousness, core consciousness and aligning
consciousness, foster stronger confidence in the path, theory, system, and
culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and uphold Xi Jinping’s
position as the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole Party, as well
as the authority of the CPC Central Committee and its centralized, unified
leadership, continue to maintain the tenacity of never slackening off,
resolutely overcome insensible thought, war-weariness, fluke mind and
slackening, take effective measures to make up for the weak links, continuously
consolidate and extend the achievements of epidemic prevention and control, and
create favorable conditions for economic and social development.
The meeting pointed out that it is
necessary to highlight key areas and key links and coordinate the epidemic
prevention and control work in urban and rural areas. We should pay particular
attention to the epidemic prevention and control in rural areas, improve the
system and mechanism for epidemic prevention and control in rural areas,
strengthen epidemic prevention and control in airports and coach/railway
stations, rural-urban continua and dense areas of returned migrant workers,
strengthen grid management of returnees, prepare all kinds of emergency plans
and capabilities in advance, strictly implement the first diagnosis reporting
system at village clinics and township health centers to ensure that any
discovered case can be quickly and decisively handled; adhere to the
combination of rigid restrictions and flexible management, advocate simplified
wedding ceremonies and funerals, and provide appropriate guidance for
collective activities during the Spring Festival. In urban areas, we should
strengthen grid management of communities, implement such prevention and
control measures as body temperature detection, showing health QR codes and
wearing masks in key venues so as to minimize the concentration of people;
strengthen control and environmental disinfection of important transportation
sites; do a good job of information registration and daily health monitoring of
newcomers and carry out centralized quarantine, medical observation and nucleic
acid testing to those who have traveled to medium- to high-risk places;
stabilize the supply and price of necessities of life, and enrich the supply of
network cultural products to meet the spiritual and material needs of the
people; strictly implement the "Sichuan Tianfu Health Code" system,
strengthen the publicity and guidance on the use of the code, and do a good job
of data support and safety management to ensure comprehensive application.
The meeting pointed out that it is
necessary to "prevent human carriers and object carriers" and
strengthen the defense against imported cases; strictly quarantine and control
inbound personnel, fully mobilize the masses and rely on the masses to report
any returnee detected, strengthen tracking and monitoring, and respond quickly
once infection occurs; set up quarantine venues scientifically, prepare
sufficient quarantine rooms, strictly standardize the entry and exit of
personnel and articles, meal delivery, disinfection, sewage treatment and so on
to avoid the risk of cross-infection; give full play to the “sentry post” role
of pharmacies, fever clinics, private clinics, and community health service
centers, and earnestly implement zero report and daily report systems;
strengthen the supervision of cold chain logistics, do a good job of imported
items, strengthen regular monitoring of cold chain practitioners, and crack
down on smuggling according to law.
The meeting pointed out that it is
necessary to implement the "four 'early'" requirements and further
enhance the emergency response and handling capacity; keep the emergency command
system running for 24 hours a day, set up a standing group in time and carry
out work conscientiously, and quickly respond and make decisions once a new
case is detected; guarantee the nucleic acid testing capacity, by enhancing the
optimization and innovation of testing technology and methodology and the
supply guarantee of testing materials, coordinating the testing forces of
disease control institutions, medical institutions and third-party
organizations, standardizing the sampling environment and process of NAT, and
assuring the satisfaction of huge testing demand; carry out targeted and
efficient epidemiological surveys, by further strengthening cooperation among
disease control, public security, transportation and other departments, and
comprehensively using modern information technology, so as to improve the virus
gene sequencing capacity and the accuracy of traceability; improve the level of
medical treatment, and implement the “first diagnosis accountability” system to
strictly control hospital infection.
The meeting pointed out that it is
necessary to carry out safe and orderly vaccination work, pay close attention
to the guarantee of funds, publicity and mobilization, vaccine distribution,
and training of vaccination operators, ensure that key populations are
completely vaccinated on time, promote vaccination among general people in a
differentiated, phased and orderly manner, and get ready for larger-scale
population vaccination. It is necessary to strengthen right public opinion
guidance, strengthen policy interpretation, continue to properly publicize
information, respond openly and transparently to the concerns of the masses,
strengthen the protection of citizens' personal information and privacy rights,
and crack down on illegal acts of fabricating and spreading rumors according to
law, so as to shape a good atmosphere for the whole society to support and

The meeting stressed that the current
epidemic prevention and control is in a critical period, so strengthening
organizational leadership is the fundamental guarantee. In the face of the new
situation and tasks of epidemic prevention and control, Sichuan Provincial
Emergency Response Headquarters and its working groups should continue to carry
forward the spirit of continuous fighting, scientifically study and judge the
situation, strengthen overall coordination, take the lead to be on guard,
strengthen top-down cooperation and coordination among different places and
departments, organize provincial emergency drills to further detect loopholes
and deficiencies, and constantly optimize the epidemic prevention and control
mechanism, so as to seize every opportunity to prevent and control the epidemic
and avoid the spread of the epidemic. The party committees and governments at
all levels should take primary responsibility for epidemic prevention and
control, and the leading groups and emergency command headquarters on
anti-COVID-19 at all levels should pay close attention to the prevention and
control of the epidemic, ensure that the funds, materials and labors required
are in place in a timely manner, and resolutely perform their own duties.
Relevant functional departments shall, in accordance with their own functions
and responsibilities, do a good job of epidemic prevention and control in their
industries or systems. Party and government organs, social organizations,
enterprises, public institutions and other organizations should establish and
improve the responsibility system and management system for epidemic prevention
and control. Individuals should assist, cooperate with and obey government
departments in epidemic prevention and control, and implement self-protection.
Cadres at all levels, especially leading cadres, should resolutely implement the
requirements of the CPC Central Committee and the CPC
Sichuan Provincial Committee to ensure that the requirements are implemented
substantially and effectively. Those who delay or conceal reports of the
epidemic situation or fail to perform duties in epidemic prevention and control
shall be seriously held accountable so as to urge the responsible persons to
earnestly perform their duties.
