Mi Feng pointed out that all localities are actively doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, doing risk research and judgment based on the results of inspections and flow investigations, and accurately determining risk areas, but they also let go of "fast closure and quick release, and all should be released, so as to reduce the impact of the epidemic on the masses." Inconvenience” and scientific classification of positive infection patients should be admitted, and children, the elderly, and patients with underlying diseases should be properly admitted, treated, and cared for, so as to promote the early recovery of patients.

Cheng Youquan, Director of the First Department of Supervision of the State Administration of Disease Control and Prevention, believes that the recent problems reported by the public are not mainly aimed at the prevention and control of the epidemic itself, but focus on the simplification of prevention and control measures, the increase of layers, "one size fits all", and the neglect of the demands of the masses. Some places arbitrarily expanded the area of ​​control and the scope of personnel, and sealed it off. Some places were not unsealed for a long time after being sealed, and some places were "silent" without approval.

Cheng Youquan said that all localities have set up special teams for rectification at various levels, and the comprehensive team of the joint defense and joint control mechanism is dispatching every day to actively and effectively respond to various problems reported by the people, and transfer them to relevant localities for promotion and resolution.
