Will Spring Festival Travel Lead To A Peak in Infections?
Jan 09, 2023
Starting today (8th), my country's new crown virus infection has officially implemented "Class B and B Control". What is the current overall situation of the new crown epidemic in the country? Will the superimposition of policy changes and Spring Festival travel increase the risk of the epidemic? In the past three years of the new crown, what changes have taken place in our epidemic prevention and control? In this regard, CCTV reporters exclusively interviewed Jiao Yahui, director of the Department of Medical Affairs of the National Health and Health Commission. The main points are as follows
The peaks of emergency and severe cases in big cities have fallen
Small and medium-sized cities and rural areas are about to usher in the peak of emergency and severe cases
Regarding the current epidemic situation, Jiao Yahui said in an interview, "From December 2022, the number of outpatient visits to fever clinics across the country will enter a stage of rapid increase. By late December and New Year's Day in 2023, the number of emergency visits will enter a peak period. The peak of emergency visits means The peak of critical care is also coming.” Judging from the current situation across the country:
1. Major cities across the country, that is to say, municipalities directly under the central government and provincial capitals, including some cities with separate state planning, are passing through or have passed the peak of infection.
2. At present, judging from the situation in these big cities, the peak of emergency and severe cases, especially the emergency department, has also shown signs of decline, but the treatment of severe cases is still at a high plateau.
3. Before the Spring Festival travel rush, small and medium-sized cities and rural areas have also ushered in the peak of infection. Judging from this trend, during the Spring Festival, these small and medium-sized cities and rural areas may usher in the peak of emergency and severe cases.
