What is the specific situation of the 78 new confirmed cases in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities? Which region has the most new cases? Detailed data attached!

After five consecutive days of zero reports, Hubei today received news of one new confirmed case, leaving many netizens wondering what was going on? In fact, it is not only Hubei that has new cases. Yesterday, 78 new confirmed cases were reported in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. So what is the specific situation? Which region has the most new cases? The detailed data are as follows:

1. What is the specific situation of the 78 newly confirmed cases in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities? Which region has the most new cases?

From 0:00 to 24:00 on March 23, 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported 78 new confirmed cases, 7 new deaths (7 in Hubei), and 35 new suspected cases.

Among them, 74 new confirmed cases of imported cases from abroad were reported (31 in Beijing, 14 in Guangdong, 9 in Shanghai, 5 in Fujian, 4 in Tianjin, 3 in Jiangsu, 2 in Zhejiang, 2 in Sichuan, 1 in Shanxi, 1 in Liaoning, Shandong and Chongqing). As of 24:00 on March 23, a total of 427 confirmed cases of imported from abroad have been reported. Therefore, it can be seen that Beijing has the largest number of newly confirmed cases, mainly caused by imported cases from abroad.

As of 24:00 on March 23, according to reports from 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, there are 4,735 confirmed cases (including 1,573 severe cases), 73,159 cases have been cured and discharged, 3,277 deaths, 81,171 confirmed cases have been reported, and there are 132 suspected cases. A total of 691,185 close contacts have been traced, and 12,077 close contacts are still under medical observation.

There was 1 new confirmed case in Hubei (1 in Wuhan), 444 new cases of cured and discharged patients (426 in Wuhan), 7 new deaths (7 in Wuhan), and 4,318 confirmed cases (4,268 in Wuhan), including 1,539 severe cases (1,527 in Wuhan). A total of 60,323 cases have been cured and discharged (43,214 in Wuhan), a total of 3,160 deaths have been reported (2,524 in Wuhan), and a total of 67,801 cases have been confirmed (50,006 in Wuhan). There are 0 new suspected cases (0 in Wuhan) and 0 existing suspected cases (0 in Wuhan).

2. How do the 76 international airports across the country respond to the prevention and control of imported cases?

While the epidemic in China has been basically under control, the global epidemic is facing a "pandemic" trend, and preventing and controlling imported cases from abroad has become a difficult problem that China has to face. Experts interviewed pointed out that in addition to strict port control to prevent the import of overseas cases, strengthening international cooperation will also help move the checkpoints forward.

In order to prevent and control imported cases from abroad, the General Administration of Customs of China has fully launched the health declaration system, requiring all people entering and leaving the country to make a health declaration.

All localities strictly prevent imports based on the requirements of the General Administration of Customs. Guangdong Shenzhen Customs implements two temperature screenings on 100% of all passengers; Shanghai requires all Chinese and foreign personnel who have traveled to key countries or regions within 14 days before entering Shanghai to be quarantined at home or in a centralized location for 14 days.

In addition, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs established an emergency response center to prevent the risk of imported epidemics from abroad on March 8. The center will collect and analyze various types of information and data, liaise and guide embassies and consulates abroad, carry out work to prevent and control the import of epidemics, and promote the establishment of bilateral and multilateral joint prevention and control mechanisms.

Regarding the above practices, Chang Jian, a professor at the Zhou Enlai School of Government at Nankai University, pointed out in an interview with a China News Service reporter on the 10th that the prevention and control effects of these measures are quite obvious. The current overseas epidemic is in an outbreak period. If it is not prevented and controlled in time, there is a high possibility of a "backflow" of the epidemic, causing a recurrence of the epidemic that China had worked so hard to control in the early stage.

Moving the checkpoint forward and international cooperation

The World Health Organization announced on the 9th that the threat of a global pandemic posed by the new coronavirus outbreak "has become very real." At present, the prevention and control measures taken by South Korea, Japan, Italy and other countries, such as suspending classes on campus at all levels and suspending gatherings of people, have been proven effective in China. As Bruce Aylward, senior adviser to the Director-General of the World Health Organization, said, the epidemic prevention and control measures taken by China have set standards for the world. With China's experience, other countries do not have to "start from scratch."

In fact, when the epidemic began to spread around the world, China quickly provided assistance. At present, China has sent expert groups to Iran and other countries, and provided anti-epidemic materials, testing equipment and other assistance to South Korea, Japan and other countries that have been severely affected by the epidemic. The Chinese government has also decided to donate US$20 million to the WHO to support international cooperation in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.

Amid the epidemic, "the world is sharing the same cold and heat". Strengthening international cooperation and moving checkpoints forward will help prevent and control the import of cases from abroad. "The spread of the epidemic knows no borders. Only a cooperative approach can prevent further global outbreaks. The interdependence of the community with a shared future for mankind will be more clearly reflected." Chang Jian pointed out that the current epidemic is becoming more and more severe, which also provides the possibility for strengthening cooperation among relevant countries.

Jiang Min, chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Beijing Century Memorial Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, bluntly stated: "Helping others is actually helping yourself." China's successful experience can be shared with countries around the world in a timely manner. If the global epidemic is brought under control, the pressure on customs ports across the country to prevent imported cases will also be reduced.

Mutual assistance, China's responsibility

The World Health Organization's daily epidemic report shows that as of 17:00 Beijing time on March 9, there were 28,674 confirmed cases outside of China; epidemics have occurred in more than 100 countries and regions, among which Italy, Iran, South Korea and other countries have relatively serious epidemics. The observation pointed out that strengthening port prevention and control and strictly preventing imported cases from abroad does not mean "closing the door" and cannot be adopted in a "one-size-fits-all" manner.

In view of the differences in the epidemic situation in various countries, Chang Jian suggested that customs across the country should not treat incoming people indiscriminately, but should adopt differentiated approaches to implement precise policies. On the one hand, we need to collect big data information to have an accurate understanding of the outbreak situation in different countries and regions, formulate detailed, operational and enforceable measures, and adopt more stringent prevention and control measures for visitors to China from high-incidence areas; on the other hand, we must take into account the three aspects of epidemic prevention and control, economic exchanges, and human rights protection. We cannot completely cut off personnel exchanges due to the epidemic and damage economic development.

In fact, after the global epidemic broke out, Chinese local governments promptly and dynamically adjusted the prevention and control measures for foreign personnel entering China. After entering the country, their communities will also provide necessary protection and assistance to help them solve practical difficulties in life, such as automatically extending expired visas to China by two months and actively sharing epidemic prevention and control standards and guidance materials with civil aviation agencies of various countries.

Chang Jian said that China is a country that plays an important role in the process of globalization, and international exchanges are inevitable. "Taking humane measures to allow foreigners coming to China to enjoy national treatment, protect their basic human rights and living needs, and allow them to enjoy appropriate public health and medical services will bring a reputation of respecting human rights in the international community."

Summary: Friends who are currently abroad are advised not to return to China for the time being, otherwise all previous prevention and control efforts will be in vain.
