    Dong Xiaoping, chief expert of virology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at the press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the 10th that the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan is effective for the Omicron variant
    .
     
    Recently, new mutants have been detected in many parts of the country
    .
    Dong Xiaoping said in response to a reporter's question that day, all localities are currently in accordance with the requirements of the new version of the prevention and control plan, based on rapid and accurate risk management and control, and actively respond
    .
     
    "It can be seen that almost every epidemic can be effectively controlled in a short period of time, which also reflects that the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan is effective for the Omicron variant
    .
    " He said
    .
     
    Dong Xiaoping said that compared with the Omicron BA.
    2 strain that was popular earlier, the Omicron BA.
    5 variant has slightly enhanced transmission ability, and its immune escape ability has been significantly enhanced.
    The risk of re-infection has increased, which brings greater difficulty and challenges to the prevention and control work
    .
     
    He also said that the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan more prominently reflects the concept and measures of precise and scientific prevention and control, and adheres to the general policy of "dynamic clearing".
    The new version of the plan puts forward higher requirements for the implementation of various normalized measures and the quality of work
    .
    For example, in the new version of the prevention and control plan, in accordance with the principles of point-to-face combination, symptom monitoring and nucleic acid detection, and infectious disease monitoring system and other departmental monitoring systems, 8 categories of multi-channel monitoring and early warning are carried out, including people, objects, and the environment.

    .
     
    It is worth noting that in the new version of the prevention and control plan, the time range for the main standard design for the   downgrade of medium and high-risk areas , and the traceability of the history of travel and residence in the epidemic area have been shortened to 7 days
    .
    Han Mengjie, director of the Center for STD and AIDS Prevention and Control of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, responded to concerns about whether it would increase the risk of spreading the epidemic
    .
     
      He introduced that in order to further improve the scientificity and accuracy of the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control measures, from April to May this year, the comprehensive group of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council carried out a pilot study on the optimization of the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control measures in some regions of the country.
    Work, the study found that the average incubation period of Omicron mutants is shortened, mostly 2 to 4 days, and most of them can be detected within 7 days
    .
     
      "Based on the research results and the prevention and control practices in many places in China, the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan optimizes the control cycle for inbound personnel, close contacts, and medium and high-risk areas.
    It takes into account the best possible cost and cost.
    "Prevention and control effect", Han Mengjie said, these measures have been proved to be very effective in a lot of practice, on the basis of strict community personnel control and nucleic acid testing, shortening the control period will not increase the risk of epidemic spread
