This is a major adjustment of China's COVID-19 prevention and control policy - COVID-19 infection will be adjusted from "Category B A" to "Category B B" from January 8, 2023. After the adjustment, the prevention and control measures such as the isolation of infected persons and close contacts, the blockade of epidemic areas, and traffic health quarantine will also be adjusted accordingly.
At present, the COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread around the world. As a whole, the domestic epidemic situation is in a fast rising stage. Due to the differences in population mobility, population density, population immunity level, etc., all regions will face the pressure of epidemic epidemic in the future. This requires us to adhere to the principle of people first and life first, shift our focus from infection prevention and control to medical treatment, and ensure the smooth and orderly implementation of "Class B and Class B management" of COVID-19 infection.
To ensure the smooth and orderly implementation of "Class B and Class B management" of COVID-19 infection, we should continue to do a good job in relevant prevention, control and treatment, do everything we can to reduce the severity of the disease, reduce deaths, and maintain people's health. Special attention should be paid to the vaccination, personal protection and timely treatment after infection of the elderly, high-risk people with basic diseases and other serious diseases, so as to minimize the severity and death. At the same time, we should also strengthen the monitoring of virus mutation, disease severity and the use of medical resources.
To ensure the smooth and orderly implementation of "Class B and Class B management" of COVID-19 infection, we need to strengthen drug supply guarantee. Prepare Chinese medicine, symptomatic treatment drugs, antiviral drugs, antigen detection reagents, etc. for the treatment of COVID-19 infection, and meet the needs of residents for medicine purchase and medication through various ways and means. We will encourage asymptomatic infected persons and mild cases who are qualified for home isolation to give priority to home isolation treatment, and provide them with online health consultation, rational drug use, and science popularization.
To ensure the smooth and orderly implementation of "Class B and Class B management" of COVID-19 infection, it is necessary to optimize the allocation of medical and health resources. We should prepare medical resources in advance, improve the mechanism of diagnosis and treatment based on classification, strengthen the construction of diagnosis and treatment capacity at the grass-roots level, coordinate the treatment of COVID-19 infected people and daily medical service guarantee, and try our best not to affect normal medical services. At the same time, we should also care about the medical staff, maintain the daily operation of the social economy, and reasonably arrange the work.
