Urumqi City Epidemic Prevention and Control Work Headquarters Issues Epidemic Prevention Tips for Supply Guarantees
Sun Ru, head of the comprehensive team of the social prevention and control group of the Urumqi Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters, notified the epidemic prevention tips for supply guarantee personnel.
In order to effectively consolidate the phased achievements of Urumqi’s epidemic prevention and control, ensure the efficient operation of the supply guarantee system and the safe and smooth supply channels, so that residents and friends can buy with confidence and use with more confidence, Urumqi City combines the current reality to ensure residents’ food, Practitioners in all aspects of the supply of daily necessities such as medicines, including market distribution personnel, transit personnel, sales terminal personnel such as convenience stores, vegetable stores, and pharmacies, and community material distribution personnel, implement more refined closed-loop management of the entire chain.
In terms of daily life, the counties and industry departments in the region should guide enterprises and places to provide accommodation for guarantee personnel in accordance with the principle of single room for one person. If the conditions are limited, they should be separated according to the same team and the same type of work, so as to reduce the density of personnel and reduce the risk of cross-infection . The supply guarantee personnel implement a daily meal sharing system, standardize the disposal of domestic garbage, regularly ventilate the residence, and carry out cleaning and disinfection.
When carrying out work, the guaranteed supply market must scientifically delineate the working area, the staff should not flow across areas, and the distribution personnel responsible for supplying materials in high- and low-risk areas should not cross each other. While doing a good job in personal protection, the disinfection requirements should be implemented. Truck drivers and other transportation personnel do not cross-transport materials between high-risk and low-risk areas, but only pass point-to-point between the supply market, destination communities, and supply stores, and shorten the stay time, and avoid direct contact with others when loading and unloading materials. Convenience stores, grocery stores, pharmacies and other sales terminal practitioners can move between low-risk communities in the community. After delivering materials to the gate of the community in a non-contact manner, they should disinfect their hands. When community cadres, volunteers and other community material distribution personnel receive materials, they must first place the materials in designated places, standardize the implementation of disinfection, and put them aside. When distributing supplies to people in home isolation, special personnel should be designated to provide services to avoid cross-infection.
In life and work, the health management of guarantee personnel is particularly important. Enterprises and places must be well checked, and guarantee personnel can participate in work only following they have completed booster immunizations or sequential vaccinations with the new coronavirus vaccine. It is necessary to urge all supply guarantee personnel to participate in nucleic acid testing according to the prescribed frequency, and do a good job in daily health monitoring and recording. During the closed-loop management period, supply guarantee personnel will not go out in principle. After going out due to illness, they will follow relevant regulations to ensure that there is no abnormality before returning to work.
