CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Recently, the epidemic has been occurring at multiple points and in localized outbreaks across the country. Recently, at the Press Conference on the Prevention and Control of COVID-19 in Chongqing (87th Session), Xia Yu, associate chief physician of Chongqing Center for Disease Control and Prevention urged all people returning to Chongqing from other places to take the initiative to have their nucleic acid tested as soon as possible.

Xia Yu introduced that the Delta variant is more capable of spreading and faster compared to previous ones. The previous strains took an average of 5-6 days to develop symptoms after infection, while Delta variant will show symptoms in about 4 days after infection, so it will be more difficult to prevent and control now.

In view of the current situation, Xia Yu made several recommendations:

I.The general public should not leave Chongqing unless it is necessary, especially not to medium to high risk areas and cities.

II.Those who have recently visited a city with an outbreak should actively implement community measures, voluntarily report information on their sojourn history and cooperate with measures such as nucleic acid testing and medical observation.

III.All those who have recently returned to Chongqing from other places should take the initiative to have a nucleic acid test as soon as possible.

IV.Members of the public continue to be aware of personal protection, maintain good hygiene habits at all times, wear masks, wash their hands regularly, do not gather unless necessary and do not go to crowded places such as mahjong parlors. It is also important to maintain an appropriate social distance when outdoors.

V.The public should strictly observe the “reservation, restriction and off-peak” rules for tourist attractions in the city and refrain from travelling outside the city.

Vaccination is an important tool for effective prevention and control of the epidemic. We hope that the general public will be proactive and get vaccinated against the COVID-19 early. (Translated by Wang Huixin, Fathom Language Limited)
