Friends of the general public, fellow villagers of Qixia:

The spring rain is full of apricot blossoms, and the memory is still complaining about hookah. Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming. In this traditional festival of remembering ancestors and paying homage to old friends, Qixia's hometown friends have more and more strong feelings of leaving home. We feel the same for your affection. However, the current situation of epidemic prevention and control is still grim. In order to reduce the risk of epidemic spread, consolidate the achievements of epidemic prevention and control, and do a good job in epidemic prevention and control during Tomb-Sweeping Day, we sincerely suggest * * * to protect your life safety and health.

Don't go home unless it is necessary.

In order to reduce the risk of cross-infection and transmission during the journey, it is advocated that the vast number of friends in the field should not return to China unless necessary. If you really need to return to China, please pay attention to the epidemic risk level of the starting point and passing place and the epidemic prevention and control measures in our city in advance, scan the QR code three days in advance or call the town street where you are located for the record. When returning to China, you must hold a negative certificate of nucleic acid within 48 hours, report to the local village within 2 hours after arrival, do nucleic acid testing nearby within 24 hours, and actively cooperate with various epidemic prevention measures.

Second, safety offerings do not gather.

During the period of Tomb-Sweeping Day, funeral service units such as funeral parlours, cemeteries and columbariums in Qixia temporarily stopped holding activities such as wake, public sacrifice, on-site sacrifice and sweeping, and suspended activities such as collective ashes scattering into the sea, public sacrifice ceremony and ecological burial. The masses are requested to strengthen the awareness of "life first, safety first", take the initiative to abide by the requirements of normalized epidemic prevention and control, and do not participate in gathering sacrifices and sweeping activities. We advocate the use of online sacrifice sweeping, planting trees and greening, remembering at home and other green sacrifice sweeping methods to express the grief for the deceased relatives and integrate the feelings of pursuing the future with modern civilization.

Third, scientific epidemic prevention is not relaxed.

No matter whether you are in a foreign country or Qixia, please consciously implement measures such as "taking temperature, scanning code and wearing a mask" when you go out, and maintain good hygiene habits such as frequent hand washing, frequent ventilation, "one-meter line", sharing meals, sending and receiving express delivery and frequent disinfection. Try not to participate in all kinds of party activities and avoid going to crowded, closed or poorly ventilated public places. Meanwhile, please pay close attention to your personal health. If you have fever, cough, diarrhea, sore throat, fatigue and other symptoms. On the premise of personal protection, you should go to the nearest doctor as soon as possible, try to avoid taking public transportation and reduce contact with others.

Fourth, vaccination is not slack.

Vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine can not only reduce the risk of infection, but also significantly reduce the incidence of severe illness after infection. If you have not been vaccinated and have not completed the whole vaccination, please take the initiative to complete the vaccination as soon as possible at the nearest inoculation point; /kloc-people aged 0/8 and above who have been vaccinated with the second dose of vaccine for six months, please strengthen the injection in time to effectively build a national immune barrier.

In this special period, I thank the masses for their understanding, support and cooperation in the prevention and control of epidemic situation in our city. Let's join hands, transmit ideas with the wind of civilization, protect our beautiful homeland with civilized behavior, and make Tomb-Sweeping Day healthy, safe, civilized and environmentally friendly.
