1. What is the current epidemic situation in Suzhou?
A: At present, the epidemic situation in our city has entered an important period. The number of people infected with this epidemic is at a high level, and the upward trend of the number of new people has slowed down. The number of outpatients with fever gradually stabilized and began to decline, and the early positive personnel began to return to their posts one after another, and the social situation remained stable. At present, the city’s drug supply is stable, and it has entered a stage that can better meet the needs of citizens.
According to the latest monitoring, the current epidemic strains in Suzhou are BA.5.2 and BF.7, of which BA.5.2 accounts for 53% and BF.7 accounts for 47%. Because the mutant strain in Omicron is highly contagious and spreads rapidly, the general public are requested to continue to do personal protection, adhere to the "three-piece epidemic prevention" and "six-point protection" and be the first responsible person for their own health.
2. At present, what is the medical treatment of epidemic-related diseases in Suzhou?
A: In order to adapt to the new situation of epidemic prevention and control and the new characteristics of Covid-19’s variation, the city has continuously optimized the graded diagnosis and treatment process in COVID-19, and improved the referral mechanism between the medical association and the three-level large hospitals with external cooperation of the medical association in accordance with the principle of "classified treatment, graded diagnosis and treatment, linkage between the upper and lower levels, two-way referral, rapid and slow treatment, and effective treatment".
Up to now, there are 116 fever clinics in medical institutions in our city, 139 fever clinics in community health service centers and hospitals, and 1049 fever clinics. Since December 17th, the fever clinic, fever clinic and fever clinic have received more than 394,000 consultations, with the highest single-day consultation volume of more than 110,300. The number of people diagnosed with fever in the community accounts for over 60%.
In the past week, the number of 120 incoming calls in our city has reached a new high, including 7,233 incoming calls on December 22, reaching a historical peak. At present, the city emergency center has expanded 120 command and dispatch seats, integrated existing personnel and emergency echelon, and increased the strength of existing vehicle crews. All medical institutions have also strengthened the emergency equipment and tried their best to ensure the timely treatment of critically ill patients.
Our city attaches great importance to the emergency and severe treatment pressure that hospitals may face, makes great efforts to make overall plans for the rational use of medical resources, strengthens the capacity building of community health service centers to treat mild patients, strengthens the medical material guarantee, and concentrates superior forces to vigorously support the improvement of the treatment capacity of tertiary hospitals to ensure that emergency and severe cases can be treated quickly.

6. Is there a better way for Chinese medicine to treat fever?
A: Chinese medicine has two major methods for reducing fever: oral administration and external treatment.
1. Oral administration: Most of the infected people in this epidemic are affected by exogenous cold pathogens, which are manifested as high fever, cold limbs, splitting head and pain all over the body. Drugs for relieving exterior syndrome and dispelling cold can be taken orally to reduce fever, and special attention should be paid to keeping feet warm. Recently, the municipal expert group of traditional Chinese medicine has issued a guide to the use of drugs for fever caused by wind-cold, wind-heat and an agreement for adults and children to reduce fever, all of which have good curative effects. At the same time, if you are afraid of cold, you can take onion and ginger soup orally.
2. External treatment: Some appropriate techniques of Chinese medicine can be adopted, such as taking wind pool, squeezing Dazhui point and chiropractic, which can all have obvious sweating effect. At the same time, there are scraping, moxibustion, meridian slapping and acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine.
7. What is the current situation of drug supply guarantee in Suzhou?
A: At present, our city is concentrating on raising the supply of drugs to fully protect the people’s demand for drugs. On the one hand, actively mobilize local pharmaceutical manufacturers, work overtime to increase production capacity and fully supply the local market. At present, the daily output of dexibuprofen sustained-release capsules, diclofenac sodium enteric-coated capsules, diclofenac potassium suppositories, etc. is 734,000. It is estimated that the daily output of acetaminophen tablets will reach 1.34 million by December 29th, which can basically meet the demand of citizens for antipyretics. On the other hand, we will fully mobilize 60 pharmaceutical wholesale enterprises and 41 chain pharmacies in the city to strengthen the procurement of drugs such as fever and cough, and do our best to ensure the supply in Suzhou market. Make use of various channel resources, strengthen the docking with major pharmaceutical production and wholesale enterprises across the country, raise medicines in short supply in many ways, including all kinds of antipyretic medicines for infants and pregnant women, and strive to ensure the use of medicines for special people. At present, the shortage of antipyretic and antitussive drugs has eased, and the drug stocks of various medical institutions have gradually picked up.
At the same time, the city has eased the tight supply of individual drugs by encouraging drug sales. At present, there are 1053 retail pharmacies in the city selling antipyretic drugs to meet more drug demand. Vigorously promote "mutual help and sharing medicine boxes", advocate neighborhood mutual help and warm heart relay, let love pass at home, and let limited medicine resources play the greatest role. In view of the shortage of thermometers, a total of 500 thousand mercury thermometers have been put into retail chain pharmacies in the city to try their best to meet the demand of citizens.
8. What has Suzhou done for the elderly?
A: First, strengthen the monitoring and early warning of severe diseases. On the basis of filing files for elderly people over 65 years old, establish a grass-roots monitoring and early warning mechanism for critical and severe diseases, set up a service team composed of community cadres, volunteers, police (auxiliary police), family doctors (rural doctors) and other personnel, and determine a special person to contact and guide the elderly families to carry out health monitoring, focusing on monitoring body temperature, breathing, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, food intake and other contents, and timely register abnormal situations and dispose of them as required.
The second is to strengthen the construction of the treatment network. Establish a three-level rescue network at the city, county-level city (district) and grassroots level, and clarify the cooperative relationship between districts. Hospitals at all levels have established special work classes, led by the dean in charge, with the participation of relevant departments.
The third is to strengthen the coordination of severe treatment. The leading hospitals of various medical associations have a comprehensive grasp of the list of elderly people over 65 years old and monitoring and early warning information within their jurisdiction (including pension institutions), and strengthen assistance, training guidance and technical support to the grassroots. Grassroots medical and health institutions implement the responsibility system for the first consultation, and rely on the expert team of the medical association to comprehensively judge the elderly with abnormal severe monitoring and early warning within their jurisdiction to ensure smooth referral.
The fourth is to strengthen the reserve of medical resources. Strengthen the construction of critical and severe treatment teams, carry out training in cardiovascular, severe, tumor, hemodialysis and other related specialties, and reserve resources such as equipment, beds, personnel and medicines in a targeted manner. The leading hospitals of rural medical communities have formulated emergency plans for the treatment of elderly people over 65 during the Spring Festival.
The fifth is to strengthen the management and treatment of old-age care institutions. All localities have identified a counterpart cooperative medical institution for each old-age care institution, which has been incorporated into the unified management of the medical association, and established a green channel for the elderly who need to be referred.
9. Can employees use antigen test results to ask for leave?
A: According to the current epidemic situation, it is suggested not to do nucleic acid unless necessary, and not to go to a medical institution to issue a fever leave certificate to run medical resources. The antigen test results of employees in enterprises can be used as the basis for asking for leave from their own units.
In order to keep abreast of the situation, the "Su Zhouyou" APP has recently upgraded the "antigen self-test" service to "personal health monitoring" service, and added functions such as body temperature, blood oxygen saturation and current symptom reporting to users whose antigens are reported as positive. At the same time, to develop the online team service management function, communities and enterprises in need can apply for the team code from local epidemic prevention departments. After users scan the code to join the team and pass the certification, the health status reported daily will be automatically collected in the corresponding communities or enterprises, and a "community-resident" and "enterprise-employee" micro-service team will be quickly formed, which is conducive to improving the service level of communities and enterprises. Users can also check the contact information of the contact personnel in their community or team through the "Su Zhouyou" APP to build a fast track for internal help.
