Chapter 221: Victory in the fight against the epidemic
After Guo Wenjian left Qi Tongwei's office, he immediately issued the order.
Things went so smoothly that it almost felt like a carefully choreographed drama, as if the criminals were waiting to be investigated.
Guo Wenjian couldn't help but feel suspicious about this situation, but faced with solid evidence, he had to attribute his suspicions to his own illusions.
The case can only be transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution in accordance with the procedures.
Qi Tongwei has been very busy recently and has no time to doubt this issue. He just wants the items to return to normal prices. Even if there are problems behind it, he doesn't have the time or energy to investigate.
I have to say that Gao Mingyuan's judgment is very accurate.
After the government confiscated a batch of goods and arrested some merchants who hoarded goods, it stopped investigating the matter when it saw that market prices had returned to normal and instead focused its attention on epidemic prevention and control.
After hoarding behavior was effectively cracked down, a new problem quietly emerged.
Many companies have chosen to suspend work and production, which has resulted in a large number of people being stranded, and these people have become a potential threat to the epidemic.
Qi Tongwei was fully aware of the urgency of the situation. He urgently convened members of the epidemic prevention and control leading group and held an important meeting to study and deploy solutions.
At the beginning of the meeting, Qi Tongwei went straight to the point without hesitation and said seriously: "Comrade Ma Yan, please inform everyone of the latest dynamic data."
Ma Yan stood up and replied in a calm tone: "Okay, Mayor Qi.
So far, 67 suspected cases have been found in our city, all of which are concentrated in the urban area. All these patients are now receiving centralized isolation treatment in the Third People's Hospital of the city. "
Ma Yan's words made everyone realize the urgency and the need to cut off the source of infection.
"Mayor Qi, Handong is not far from Guangdong Province and the epidemic situation is relatively severe. I think strict lockdown measures must be implemented. I suggest closing the city and nothing except supplies can enter our city," suggested Deputy Mayor Liu Quan.
"I think Comrade Liu Quan's suggestion is feasible, but I don't agree with the company stopping production."
Deputy Mayor Long Tao organized his words and continued, "I have counted that there are millions of employees in factories and enterprises of all sizes in our city, and a considerable number of them are migrant workers who usually live in factory dormitories and rental houses.
If these people are unemployed, they will tend to run around, which will increase the difficulty of epidemic prevention and control.
Moreover, once they lose their source of income, these people may become a hidden danger to social security, so I suggest that companies continue to operate as usual.”
"Comrade Long Tao's suggestion is very good, but we must discuss it with the heads of industrial and mining enterprises and ask them to do a good job of disinfection and implement closed management. As long as we get through this summer, the problem will definitely improve." Qi Tongwei nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
Ma Yan thought for a moment and said: "I have consulted relevant experts. The SARS virus is also known as acute respiratory syndrome, and its main transmission route is through saliva and droplets.
In other words, as long as each of us can wear a medical mask correctly, we can basically effectively block the spread of the virus.
At present, all parts of the country are facing the problem of mask shortage. Our city introduced a number of factories last year. I have communicated with them and these factories have the ability to temporarily transform and produce masks.
Therefore, my suggestion is to support these factories with all your strength and push them into production as soon as possible to alleviate the shortage of masks.
In this way, we can not only effectively solve the problem of virus transmission, but also ensure the safety of our staff."
"Comrade Ma Yan's idea is very good. Comrade Shuangling, you are in charge of industrial work, so this matter will be handed over to you.
We must complete the production of masks as soon as possible to ensure that everyone can wear masks, and even provide support to other parts of the country." Qi Tongwei looked at Deputy Mayor Wu Shuangling.
"Okay, Mayor Qi, I'll do it later." Wu Shuangling agreed immediately.
Qi Tongwei then turned his gaze to Guo Wenjian and said, "Comrade Wenjian, you police officers have to work harder. During this period, all special places must be closed and no disorderly gatherings are allowed."
He then went on to say: "Party members and cadres at all levels should also guard national and provincial roads and other transportation routes to block the source of transmission.
During the epidemic, all party members and cadres must be at the forefront. If anyone is found to be sly or hiding behind at critical moments, they will be severely punished. The Discipline Inspection Commission will be responsible for this matter. Those who should be expelled will be expelled, and those who should be punished will be punished. "
Afterwards, everyone discussed some practical measures. After the meeting, Luteng City issued a red-headed document to provide guidance on epidemic prevention and control work.
Qi Tongwei himself also went deep into the front line and led by example.
With Mayor Qi Tongwei taking the lead, other cadres naturally have no reason to retreat.
They are not only responsible for transporting supplies, but also setting up checkpoints on major traffic routes to check all passing vehicles and personnel. Once an infected person is found, he or she will be immediately sent to an isolation point for treatment.
In this race against time, Luteng City demonstrated strong execution and organizational capabilities, and the leadership art of Mayor Qi Tongwei was magnified.
The Chinese are worthy of being called "infrastructure maniacs" and are absolutely trustworthy at critical moments.
The fastest company successfully built a mask production line in just 18 days.
Although it is not as fast as the amazing speed of BYD Company in later generations - the transformation was completed in 13 days and the daily output of 2000 million units was achieved, it is already very fast in the context of this era.
With the sufficient supply of masks, Green Vine City's control measures have become more reasonable, the number of virus infections has dropped sharply, and the epidemic has been basically brought under control.
By early June, there were only about 6 new confirmed cases per day, and sometimes there was even zero growth.
Once Green Vine City's own needs were met, it began to provide masks to the outside world to ease tensions in other areas.
This move not only brought economic benefits to the relevant companies, but also made positive contributions to the national anti-epidemic efforts. Naturally, the contribution of Mayor Qi Tongwei is not small.
By July, the number of new cases nationwide had dropped sharply, and the epidemic situation in all regions was effectively controlled.
A fierce epidemic was completely eliminated under the effective organization of the government, and social order returned to normal. If it had happened in the old era, such a situation would probably have caused a horrific disaster.
After the epidemic is over, it will be time to reward those who have made contributions.
Qi Tongwei was awarded the title of "Advanced Individual in Epidemic Prevention" by the Handong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government for his outstanding performance in epidemic prevention and control.
In fact, Qi Tongwei doesn’t care about the award itself. What really excites him is the other rewards he has received during the epidemic.
Through this fight against the epidemic, he has a deeper understanding of the government teams at all levels in Luteng City and their members. He knows clearly who can stand up and are trustworthy at critical moments.
In addition, he also cleverly used the opportunity of epidemic prevention work to recommend and promote some cadres he considered excellent to the municipal party secretary Huang Pengda.
Huang Pengda, the municipal party secretary, was just waiting for Qi Tongwei to be promoted so that he could take advantage of the situation and hardly take care of anything. Qi Tongwei, the mayor, was almost equivalent to the municipal party secretary.
He approved Qi Tongwei's proposal without hesitation.
With the victory in the fight against the epidemic, he seems to have seen his path to becoming a deputy minister.
