    Recently, many places in China predicted that the region will usher in the first wave of the epidemic peak
    in January next year.
    In the face of the upcoming peak of the epidemic, what are the preparations of various places? What does the effective response to the first wave of epidemic peaks in various places mean for China to gradually emerge from the epidemic?
     
    Many places predict that the epidemic will reach the peak in January next year
     
    With the increase in the number of new crown infections, many places have recently made predictions
    for the peak time of the epidemic in their regions.
    Combined with the research and judgment of local disease control departments and experts, the first wave of the epidemic in Zhejiang Province is expected to reach a peak around mid-January next year; The next wave of epidemic in Jiangxi Province will arrive at the end of December this year and the beginning of January next year, and peak around the Spring Festival; The peak period of the first wave in Shandong Province will be slightly delayed compared to other regions, and the peak of the epidemic in rural areas is expected to be relatively late in January next year
    .
     
    According to the news of the press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Zhejiang Province on the 18th, nearly eight of the infected people in the province have become young and middle-aged people, and although vulnerable groups such as "one old and one small" account for only 7.
    4%, experts judge that with the development of the epidemic, the follow-up will gradually increase
    .
    In addition, more than 98% of cases in infected people are mild and asymptomatic, and there are no severe or critical cases and no
    deaths.
     
    Zhang Yi, deputy director and spokesperson of the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, said at the press conference on the 19th that the number of fever outpatient visits in Guangzhou has continued to rise since December, hovering
    on a high platform for nearly a week.
    Experts predict that the epidemic situation in Guangzhou will peak
    in early January 2023.
    The majority of patients are young adults aged 18 to 59, accounting for 86%, 8.
    2% are aged 60 and above, and 5.
    8%
    are under 18 years old.
    Experts predict that the epidemic situation in Guangzhou will peak
    in early January 2023.
     
    Localities deploy in advance to respond to the peak of the epidemic and rehire retired medical workers
     
    In order to cope with the peak of the first round of the epidemic, all localities strengthened the reserve of medical resources in advance and improved their treatment capabilities
    .
    In order to increase the supply of key drugs in the market and alleviate the problem of people's difficulty in buying drugs, Anhui Province has included relevant drug manufacturers and key supporting enterprises in the whitelist to ensure stable and orderly production and supply, and in accordance with the principle of patient priority and precise delivery, to ensure the supply
    of drugs to key places such as medical institutions and nursing homes and patients.
     
    As of December 17, Zhejiang Province has opened 390 fever clinics in medical institutions above the second level, and set up 1,272 grassroots fever clinics, covering more than 90% of townships (streets).

    In addition, the beds and ICU beds of designated hospitals and sub-designated hospitals in Zhejiang Province have exceeded the national standard
    .
     
    In the face of the shortage of medical personnel under the impact of the epidemic, Guangdong Guangzhou, Fujian Fuzhou, Guizhou Anshun and other places mobilized or rehired retired medical workers to re-enter the front line
    of medical treatment.
     
    Many places mention that the infection curve is lowered, and experts remind that it is still necessary to protect after recovery
     
    In order to ensure a smooth peak crossing, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong and other places proposed to flatten the infection curve and postpone the peak
    .
    In epidemiology, the concept of slowing the spread of the virus and thus reducing the number of people in need of treatment over a period of time is referred to as "flattening the curve"
    .
     
    Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, pointed out that while ensuring the basic activities of society and lowering the curve of the first wave of the epidemic, the whole society is expected to smoothly respond to the subsequent waves of the epidemic on the basis of maintaining certain non-drug intervention (NPI) measures, and the whole society will gradually resume opening up
    .
     
    He also said that over time, when the mixed immune barrier formed by immunization and natural infection gradually weakens, a new wave of infections will occur, but the number of new infections will not be as high as before, and the case fatality rate will be lower
    .
     
    In addition, Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, reminded to be wary of multiple subtypes
    of the Omicron strain.
    "After contracting the new coronavirus, a small number of people are likely to be infected
    again by the variant subtype.
    " Zhang Boli said that for those who have recovered from the new crown, the best way to implement protective measures during the epidemic, including wearing masks, paying attention to hand hygiene, and maintaining social distance, in order to effectively reduce the risk of
    reinfection.
