The Spring Festival is approaching, and the epidemic situation in Hebei is affecting the hearts of people all over the country. From the first case in 65438 10 on 2 October to 65438+ 10 on 4 June, 523 cases were diagnosed in Hebei. In just over ten days, the virus raged and the situation was grim. This epidemic in Hebei has a remarkable feature: rural spread.

Why do 85.5% cases come from rural areas?

In this epidemic, 85.5% of the infected people came from rural areas, and most of them spread in clusters. Uncle Mi believes that there are two main reasons for the large-scale outbreak of COVID-19 in rural areas. One is the weak awareness of epidemic prevention and control in rural areas, and the other is the shortcomings in rural basic medical care.

After discovering symptoms, rural residents often choose to take medicine or go to village clinics, which often leads to the spread of the epidemic from generation to generation. As the Spring Festival approaches, there are frequent party activities in rural areas, the number of returnees increases sharply, the floating population increases, and the risk of epidemic spread increases. The prevention and control of epidemic situation in rural areas is facing great pressure and challenges.

Sound the alarm for rural medical care

Mi Shu believes that the problem of weak medical conditions and medical capacity in rural areas is reflected behind the counterattack of Hebei epidemic. 80% of the country's high-quality health resources are concentrated in cities, especially big cities, which also causes the lack of rural medical and health services. Because of the high risk of urban virus transmission, we neglected the countryside, which also sounded the alarm for us. In the face of the epidemic, both urban and rural areas should strengthen their awareness of prevention and control.

Can we have a good year?

With the approach of the Spring Festival, people are looking forward to family reunion, especially the wanderers who work outside. Many people have doubts about whether they can go home for the New Year this year. This winter, the epidemic situation was severe again, with continuous importation from abroad and sporadic cases in many provinces and cities. At present, all localities advocate celebrating the New Year on the spot to reduce the number of floating population in the peak of Spring Festival travel rush. In Uncle Mi's view, whether you can live a good year depends on everyone's compliance with the rules and awe of life. Uncle Mi called on everyone not to take it lightly, celebrate the New Year on the spot, and do their bit to protect their families and prevent and control the epidemic.
