On December 24, at a press conference held by the National Health Commission, in response to some experts saying that they do not advocate the public to wear masks for a long time, Peng Zhibin, director of the Respiratory Infectious Disease Department of the Infectious Disease Management Department of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that China has recently issued guidelines for the prevention of respiratory infectious diseases for the public to wear masks. Key venues and other places have put forward corresponding classification suggestions such as wearing masks, recommending wearing masks, and recommending not to wear masks, which have also guided the public to wear masks more scientifically and accurately, and minimized the impact on the public's production and life on the basis of ensuring the effectiveness of prevention and control.
Peng Zhibin said that towards the end of the year, the flow of people increased, and it is recommended to strengthen the following four protective measures on the basis of daily protection against respiratory infectious diseases:
First of all, during the travel by subway, bus, plane, train and other public transportation, it is recommended to wear a mask scientifically, and wash hands or disinfect hands in a timely manner, and do a good job of personal protection during the journey.
Second, for the elderly aged 65 and above, pregnant women, children, and patients with serious chronic underlying diseases, it is recommended to minimize going to tourist attractions and public places where crowds gather, and if you must go, it is recommended to wear masks scientifically.
Third, for patients with respiratory infections or those with related symptoms, it is recommended to postpone travel and try to avoid infecting other people.
In addition, for units or organizers holding large-scale gathering activities, it is necessary to implement the responsibility of ventilation, sanitization, and health tips, and pay attention to and comply with local information and requirements for the prevention and control of respiratory diseases.
The number of outpatient and emergency respiratory disease diagnosis and treatment in medical institutions.
The downward trend continues to fluctuate.
At the press conference, Mi Feng, spokesman of the National Health Commission, said that the overall volume of outpatient and emergency respiratory disease diagnosis and treatment in medical institutions across the country has continued to fluctuate and decline in recent days. According to the data, on December 22, the total number of outpatient and emergency respiratory diseases in medical institutions above the second level in the country decreased by 8 compared with the same period last week2%, down 30 from the peak02%。
Mi Feng said that it is necessary to further closely track the epidemic trends, pathogenic changes and virus mutations of respiratory diseases at home and abroad, strengthen situation analysis and monitoring and early warning, further expand medical resources, do a good job in drug protection, improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment, further strengthen the management of classified and graded health services for key populations, and do a good job in vaccination.
The recent cold wave weather has a wide range of influences and a large range of cooling. All localities should improve the speed of medical emergency response, strengthen outpatient and emergency medical forces, especially night emergency medical forces, adapt to the normal diagnosis and treatment needs of the people, and continuously improve the level of diagnosis and treatment for common injuries and diseases such as frostbite, fractures, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by low-temperature, rain, snow, and freezing weather.
Infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, patients with chronic underlying diseases and outdoor workers are the key groups that need to be paid special attention during the cold wave. It is necessary to strengthen cold protection and warmth, anti-slip and fall prevention, and seek medical attention in time if there are symptoms such as frostbite, hypothermia and chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations, and dizziness.

Current acute respiratory illness.
Influenza viruses are the main focus.
At the press conference, Peng Zhibin said that according to the monitoring results from December 11 to 17, acute respiratory diseases in China have shown a downward trend recently. The number of fever outpatient visits in health facilities nationwide, as well as the proportion of weekly influenza-like cases in sentinel hospitals, have declined.
In general, the current acute respiratory diseases are dominated by influenza viruses and co-epidemic with other pathogens, among which influenza activity is now at a high level, but it has begun to show a downward trend.
Pneumonia, mycoplasma, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus and other pathogens have shown fluctuating changes, and the activity of the new coronavirus is at the lowest level this year. Experts predict that acute respiratory diseases in China may continue to decline in the coming week, and the pathogen is also dominated by influenza viruses.
