The epidemic came again with midwinter and was fierce and unpredictable. From one or two new cases a day to tens of hundreds, over the past three years of “experience”, the people of Jinan responded quickly, followed the instructions of the relevant management departments to regulate their behavior, and worked hard to slow down the spread of the epidemic Minimized, the scope is minimized. Jinan City has been able to control the situation and win the people’s hearts in a short period of time. In addition to being closely related to the accumulation of past experience, more importantly, this series of measures has made citizens feel of Jinan the “warmth” and “honesty” of the government.
Put people’s lives and health first and deal with the epidemic accurately and efficiently. At the beginning of the outbreak, Jinan implemented a precise lockdown according to the point-to-point model. The delimitation of risk areas is precise with respect to the unit building and efforts are made to reduce the secondary impact caused by confirmed cases. What followed was intensive arrangements for follow-up inspections, yang chases, covert chases and separations with high quality and efficiency. At the same time, thorough and meticulous medical treatment, community screening, isolation and relocation were carried out, etc. maximize the safety of people’s lives, reduce the impact of the epidemic on social life. At the same time, in order to improve the efficiency of epidemic monitoring, the relevant departments have developed and launched the “Quanchengtong” small program in the process of continuous study and improvement of various prevention and control measures, so as to facilitate the convenient reporting of those who have entered the economy and returned to the economy. This measure provides a more stringent guarantee for the precise prevention and control of the epidemic.
Life safety and prevention and control go hand in hand, and anti-epidemic measures warm people’s hearts. At the epidemic news conference on November 23, the relevant staff said that Jinan will adhere to the “three non-stop” principle and ensure the “three non-stop”, that is, “non-stop production, non-stop work and transportation tirelessly”. The basic production and people’s lives are continuous, and the production and construction of key projects are continuous. Compared with “the whole city is silent”, such a decision is undoubtedly a relatively bold move, but it is also a more conducive to people’s lives and urban development. At the same time, in order to ensure that the social supply is not lost, the government has put forward detailed and effective anti-epidemic recommendations for different manufacturing and life industries, helping the affected units and enterprises to maintain relatively normal operations in compliance with the prevention of epidemics and control policies. For example, it is necessary to recommend catering units to strictly implement epidemic prevention policies, optimize delivery services, improve delivery capabilities, and encourage related companies to carry out “shared employees” to enrich delivery capabilities.
As they say, the details embody the art and only the details are the most expressive. What is most moving is the careful consideration of the government which, for example, stressed during the epidemic briefing that, in order to ensure students’ education and safety during online learning, Jinan suggested to support and allow one parent from a dual income household to care for the children at home. This is an important and thoughtful instruction for most families. All of the above shows the Jinan government’s thoughtfulness and courage in considering from the people’s point of view, laying a solid foundation to win the people’s hearts.
Share information openly and honestly, and treat each other honestly to build trust. Is there enough stock during the epidemic? Will he sit on the ground and raise the price? Can online shopping needs be satisfied and guaranteed? How to protect the living environment and standard of people in isolation? These are the problems and doubts that worry people the most. Faced with these key issues, the Jinan government has neither spoken about them nor avoided them, but responded clearly in the November 25 press conference, reassuring the people of Jinan. In the process of public response, the relevant departments have used objective and direct data to show that there is no need to worry about the sufficient supply of vegetables in Jinan City; the environmental management of the isolated area is well organized and strictly followed the regulations; faced with logistics problems, Jinan will always insist on “one-handed grasping. To prevent and control the epidemic, we must focus on ensuring smooth one-handed traffic.” However, the government is definitely not reporting good news but neither is it bad news. Faced with the current situation, relevant staff are not shy about it, stating that issues such as slower express delivery times for online purchases reported by the public do not they exist, and at the same time they list the cause of the problem and the solution. There is no delaying rhetoric, no “fig leaf” to cover up shortcomings, and the open response is a manifestation of the government’s responsibility to the people, and can better demonstrate Jinan’s confidence in overcoming the epidemic.
Although winter is cold, people’s hearts are not cold. As a leader in epidemic prevention and control, the government puts itself in the shoes of the people and sees them from the people’s point of view – this is the prerequisite for successful leadership and the basis for convincing the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it: what people need is not a high official, but a government that is as warm and honest as a family member. Jinan’s various epidemic measures this time undoubtedly set a benchmark and set an example. (Special Commentator Yang Shuyan)
