Why is the epidemic in Shenzhen so serious in 2022? Is the factory shut down? Attached is the latest regulations for entering and leaving Shenzhen

Recently, Shenzhen has issued a notice to close all communities in the city due to this round of local epidemic, which will attract attention from all over the country. Then why is the epidemic in Shenzhen so serious? Is the factory shut down? The latest regulations for entering and leaving Shenzhen are as follows:

1. Why is the epidemic in Shenzhen so serious in 2022?

The severity of the epidemic in Shenzhen is mainly due to multiple reasons. Because before, when there were local epidemics in the country, at most dozens or hundreds of confirmed cases were reported. However, this local epidemic in Shenzhen was not brought under control in a short period of time, but has continued from the beginning of this year to the present. Below is an analysis of the reasons why the Shenzhen epidemic is so serious:

1. The reason why the epidemic in Shenzhen is so serious is that it is a port city.

Shenzhen is the city with the most entry and exit ports in my country, including Luohu Port, Futian Port, Shenzhen Bay Port, Man Kam To Port, Huanggang Port, Sha Tau Kok Port, Fuyong Port, Shekou Port, etc. It is also one of the cities with the largest inbound and outbound population flow. Now that the epidemic situation abroad is so serious, Shenzhen, as a port city, is under great pressure to prevent and control the epidemic, so it is inevitable that the phenomenon of imported cases from abroad will spread locally.

2. The second reason why the epidemic in Shenzhen is so serious: the outbreak in Hong Kong

Previously, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Carrie Lam, also asked the Shenzhen government for help to help them control the local epidemic. Hong Kong and Shenzhen have close exchanges, and some Shenzhen citizens basically travel between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so the phenomenon of infection from objects to people is also possible.

3. The third reason why the epidemic in Shenzhen is so serious: the global epidemic is in the epidemic stage

The recent epidemic in Hong Kong has also caused concern. As a port city, Shenzhen must not only ensure the supply of daily necessities to Hong Kong, but also do a good job in its own epidemic prevention and control in an open environment. The pressure to prevent external imports is enormous, and the risk of sporadic epidemics remains high.

4. Reason 4 for the severe epidemic in Shenzhen: caused by Omicron

According to genetic testing, this round of epidemic in Shenzhen was caused by the BA.2 variant of the Omicron virus, which is more contagious. The sub-variant is 30% more contagious than the original Omicron strain, which puts higher demands on our prevention and control work.

2. Have factories in Shenzhen stopped working due to the 2022 epidemic?

Factories in Shenzhen have stopped production due to this round of epidemic. Because according to the latest notice issued by the Shenzhen New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Command on March 13, 2022, non-urban security-type enterprises shall cease operations or work from home, and security-type enterprises include public services such as water, electricity, fuel oil, gas, communications, sanitation, grain, oil, meat and vegetable supply. Therefore, Shenzhen's electronics factories, garment factories, etc. will definitely be affected by shutdowns.

3. The latest regulations for entering and leaving Shenzhen

People in the city are not allowed to leave Shenzhen unless necessary. If there is a special need, they can leave Shenzhen with a 24-hour negative nucleic acid test result. If you travel to Shenzhen from medium- or high-risk areas, you will need to be quarantined and undergo multiple nucleic acid tests. Those traveling to Shenzhen from low-risk areas need to check their green health code and itinerary card, but it is currently recommended that you do not go to Shenzhen because the local epidemic situation is relatively complicated. If you go there, you may need to be quarantined when returning to your destination.

In general, the severity of the epidemic in Shenzhen in 2022 is related to the port city, the outbreak in Hong Kong, the global epidemic being in the epidemic stage, and being caused by Omicron. Currently, the local factory has stopped production because the latest requirements for epidemic prevention and control require all employees to work from home. The latest regulations for entering and leaving Shenzhen are that you should not leave the city unless it is necessary. If you really need to, you can leave with a negative test result within 24 hours. People from other areas are not recommended to travel to Shenzhen.
