As the Spring Festival approaches, the land of China is permeated with a festive atmosphere. On the morning of January 18, Xi Jinping was in the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People and connected with grassroots cadres and masses in Heilongjiang, Fujian, Xinjiang, Henan, Beijing, Sichuan and other places to visit medical staff on the front line of epidemic prevention, elderly friends in welfare homes, Employees of energy supply companies, cadres and employees of high-speed railway stations, merchants and masses of agricultural products wholesale markets, and cadres and masses at the grassroots level in rural areas.

Xi Jinping is very concerned about the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic and the treatment of patients. He first connected with the video link of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University in Heilongjiang Province, communicated with medical staff and inpatients, and asked in detail about fever outpatient admissions, severe treatment, drug equipment and patient rehabilitation after the optimization and adjustment of prevention and control measures. When the director of the hospital said that "the number of emergency and severe patients is declining, wards and beds are sufficient, and medicines are fully prepared," Xi Jinping was very pleased. Then, Xi Jinping had a cordial exchange with a hospitalized elderly patient. When he learned that the patient's condition was significantly relieved and he was about to be discharged from the hospital, Xi Jinping wished him a speedy recovery and a happy New Year at home. He pointed out that since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, especially the ferocity of this wave of epidemic, the vast number of medical workers have been fighting on both the prevention and control of the epidemic and daily treatment, working with high intensity and overload for a long time, making a significant contribution to ensuring the safety and health of the people. On behalf of the Party Central Committee, Xi Jinping extended New Year's greetings to the vast number of medical workers across the country. He stressed that in the past three years, we have strictly implemented "Class B A tube" for the new crown epidemic, which is the right choice. We have withstood the impact of multiple rounds of virus mutation, minimized the rate of severe illness and death, effectively protected the lives and health of the people, and won valuable time for optimizing epidemic prevention and control measures and implementing "Class B tube. Now that the epidemic prevention and control has entered a new stage, it is still a time of struggle, but the dawn is ahead, and persistence is victory! At present, the focus of prevention and control has shifted from infection prevention to medical treatment, with the focus on health protection and severe illness prevention, and the task undertaken by hospitals is more onerous. It is necessary to further expand medical resources, increase the supply of medical services, and increase the allocation of medicines. In particular, it is necessary to prepare for severe treatment to ensure normal medical order. It is necessary to strengthen the self-protection and care of medical staff to ensure their health. Party committees and governments at all levels must always adhere to the people first and life first, adhere to scientific prevention and control, and precise implementation of policies, effectively prevent and control key institutions, key units, and key groups, coordinate various medical resources, and ensure the people's medical and drug needs. Make up for the shortcomings of epidemic prevention and control in rural areas.

The video link was switched to the Fuzhou Social Welfare Institute in Fujian Province. The elderly and nursing staff in the hospital greeted the general secretary one after another, and Xi Jinping wished everyone a new year. He carefully inquired about the living and medical conditions of the orphanage, epidemic prevention and control, and vaccination of the elderly. He also talked about the physical condition and daily life of the elderly in the orphanage, and told them to take care of their health. Xi Jinping was very happy when he learned that there was a rich variety of food here, sufficient reserves of medicines, strengthened daily health monitoring for the elderly with basic diseases, and prepared enough New Year goods before the festival. The old people took out the paper-cut "Fu" made by themselves and offered sincere blessings to the general secretary. Xi Jinping expressed his gratitude. He emphasized that at present, the virus is still constantly mutating. Although the toxicity of this wave of epidemic has been reduced, it spreads faster and is more contagious. It is very risky for the elderly. I am particularly concerned about elderly friends. The elderly are the top priority of the current epidemic prevention and control. The measures for personnel protection and health management in nursing homes, welfare homes and other institutions should be stricter than other places to prevent the occurrence of cluster epidemics. Nursing homes and welfare homes should strengthen cooperation with medical institutions, promote vaccination, improve prevention, control and treatment mechanisms, and ensure that critically ill patients are treated in a timely manner. Xi Jinping pointed out that respecting and loving the elderly is a fine tradition and virtue of the Chinese nation. Whether a society is happy or not is very important to see whether the elderly are happy or not. The aging degree of our society is getting higher and higher. We must let the elderly have a happy old age. We must vigorously develop the elderly care and the elderly care industry, develop public elderly care institutions and inclusive elderly care services, and especially strengthen the special poverty, subsistence allowances, The protection of the elderly and disabled elderly. It is necessary to properly organize and carry out cultural and sports activities to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the elderly, so that elderly friends can have a happy, healthy and peaceful Spring Festival.

Can everyone take a rest during the festival? Are you out for the Spring Festival? Are you ready for the New Year goods? During the Spring Festival, how do you pay attention to safe production and ensure smooth gas supply? Xi Jinping asked carefully, and the on-site staff answered one by one. The general secretary urged them to stand on their posts and provide good spirit to ensure that the people spend a happy and peaceful Spring Festival. Xi Jinping stressed that energy security is related to the overall situation of China's economic and social development and is one of the most important security. At present, China is in the peak period of winter energy consumption. All regions and departments must conscientiously implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, adhere to the national "one game of chess", carefully organize and dispatch, do their best to ensure the supply and stability of coal, electricity, oil and gas, prepare for extreme cold weather, and keep the bottom line of people's livelihood and energy use to ensure The masses are warm through the winter.

The transportation department must resolutely implement the requirements of the Party Central Committee, improve the ability to ensure smooth access, ensure the safe and healthy travel of the people, and ensure the smooth and orderly transportation of key materials. It is necessary to adhere to the bottom line thinking, strengthen the monitoring and early warning of extreme weather, carry out in-depth investigation and management of potential safety hazards, and resolutely curb the occurrence of major safety accidents. It is necessary to strengthen the service guidance for the relatively concentrated flow of workers and students to ensure that they return home safely before the holiday and return to school smoothly after the holiday. It is necessary to strictly implement various prevention and control regulations to minimize the risk of cross-infection and protect the health of passengers. Xi Jinping emphasized that for a long time, the cadres and employees of the transportation system have worked hard and made contributions. during the spring festival, many comrades should stick to their posts.

The wholesale market should not only make efforts to expand the supply of goods, enrich varieties, and ensure quality, but also make efforts to strengthen food testing and market management, so that the citizens of the capital can eat at ease and comfortably. The intensive flow of people and logistics in the farmer's market is a key place for epidemic prevention and control. It is necessary to appropriately regulate the flow of people and logistics, strengthen epidemic monitoring and detection, improve market environmental sanitation, and do our best to reduce the risk of epidemic. Xi Jinping emphasized that party committees and governments at all levels must implement the "rice bag" governor responsibility system and the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system, strengthen the production, marketing and supply of important livelihood commodities such as grain, oil, meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables, smooth logistics and distribution, and enrich festivals. Market supply ensures sufficient quantity, rich varieties, assured quality, and stable prices, so that the people can be happy and peaceful for the New Year.
