At the same time, all localities and departments have urgently redeployed and put forward new requirements for the prevention and control of influenza A (H1N1), and made concerted efforts to organize a dense prevention and control network to prevent the further spread of the epidemic:
Transport authorities are required to make every effort to prepare for the upgrading of the epidemic response level, including temperature measurement of people entering and leaving ports, disinfection of public transport vehicles, and transportation support for emergency supplies and personnel.
According to regulations, railway departments have equipped stations with protective equipment, including thermometers and masks, established emergency response plans for cooperation and self-reported fever by passengers, and made specific arrangements for sanitation and disinfection of stations and trains.
Shandong has launched a level-II emergency response to a major public health emergency. The member units of the leading group for responding to major public health emergencies immediately and promptly acted in accordance with the requirements of the joint prevention and control work plan, with division of labor and close cooperation, and an all-round prevention and control work.
Zhejiang Provincial Health Department issued a blue alert, requiring health departments at all levels to take immediate action to strengthen 24-hour emergency duty, and do a good job in the reserve of emergency materials, the construction of negative pressure isolation wards and the configuration of negative pressure ambulances.
Gansu province requires municipal, prefectural and county governments to set up one to two medical observation places for close contacts. In addition, there are specific requirements on how to transfer people who are in close contact with influenza A H1N1 on different means of transportation such as planes, trains and cars.At present, the "A H1N1 influenza Hospital Infection Control Technical Guidelines (Trial)" developed by relevant experts has been issued everywhere. The Ministry of Health is working with the Civil Aviation Administration,
the Ministry of Public Security, Beijing Municipality, Tianjin Municipality, Shandong Province and other relevant departments to trace close contacts, and the joint prevention and control mechanism will continue to strengthen the epidemic surveillance and reporting, port and traffic inspection and quarantine and other professional technical prevention and control measures and preparedness.
Timely, scientific and effective. The various measures taken by the Chinese government to prevent and control influenza A (H1N1) have won the recognition of the people from all walks of life and the international community.

And even before the case was confirmed, China's top leaders had taken a series of high-profile steps to show that the country was serious about doing everything it could to contain the outbreak.
While actively taking prevention and control measures, China has also carried out intensive and orderly scientific research on this new influenza virus, and achieved initial results in virus detection and vaccine development. At present, China has developed a rapid detection method for influenza A (H1N1) virus, suspected patients with influenza A (H1N1) can be confirmed within 12 hours.
In China's basic scientific research "base camp" - Chinese Academy of Sciences, the prevention and control of influenza A H1N1 epidemic has become the current focus of work.
At present, more than 10 relevant scientific research institutions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences across the country are conducting scientific research, covering the research directions of epidemic early warning and assessment,
rapid diagnostic testing, drug storage and screening, virus tracing and cross-species transmission, vaccine research and development, international and domestic organizations and enterprise cooperation.
Understanding, support and cooperation
Since April 30, when a Mexican man was confirmed as a case of influenza A (H1N1) in Hong Kong, hundreds of people in more than 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have been or are under medical observation.

I was under great psychological pressure, but I lived a good life in the hotel, and the services were very good, and I gradually understood the prevention and control measures, and felt that this is a responsible and necessary approach." Our whole family is very relieved and happy now."
