The National Administration for Disease Control and Prevention held a press conference today to introduce situations related to the prevention and control of key infectious diseases in summer, heat protection against heat and heat, post-disaster prevention, and prevention of child injuries in summer, focusing on the theme of “scientific heat prevention and disease prevention, healthy and safe summer time”. Xi Jingjing, press spokesman of the National Administration for Disease Control and Prevention, gave a briefing on the recent analysis of the epidemic situation of key infectious diseases in China and health risk tips. After entering the summer season, mosquito vectors are active, the movement of people has increased, the risk of vector-borne infectious disease outbreaks has increased, the risk of local transmission has increased due to imports from abroad, and there is a risk of cluster outbreaks of dengue fever and chikungunya fever in some southern provinces. The overall prevalence of respiratory infectious diseases across the country is low. Rhinoviruses, parainfluenza viruses, etc. are showing some activity, and the COVID-19 epidemic is at a low level of prevalence. Furthermore, the whole country has entered the “seven to eight” flood season, and floods have occurred in many places, which may cause environmental health problems, affect the hygiene and safety of food and drinking water, cause changes in vector organisms and host animal activities, and increase the risk of infectious diseases such as intestinal, respiratory, and insect vectors in affected areas.
