Beijing News Express (Reporter Jiang Huizi) The National Development and Reform Commission has recently jointly issued opinions on doing a good job in the Spring Festival Transport in 2021 and strengthening the prevention and control of the Spring Festival Transport epidemic, requiring the promotion of "health codes" throughout the country during the Spring Festival to avoid gatherings due to scanning codes .
The population flow during the Spring Festival this year will be significantly lower than normal
The Spring Festival Transport in 2021 will start on January 28 and end on March 8, for a total of 40 days. Affected by the recent rebound of the epidemic in some places, the situation of the Spring Festival this year is different from previous years.
After discussion and judgment, the scale of my country's population flow during the Spring Festival Transport in 2021 will be significantly lower than normal, and there is a strong uncertainty in passenger flow. The passenger flow before the holiday is relatively scattered, and the return journey after the holiday is more concentrated. Under the dual effects of reduced demand and increased capacity, it is expected that the pressure on commercial passenger transport will be reduced, the proportion of high-speed rail and civil aviation trips will further increase, the preference for small passenger vehicles will increase significantly, and severe weather and rural road safety risks require high attention.
In response to the situation of the Spring Festival this year, the opinions demand that all regions should establish a Spring Festival travel work mechanism led by government leaders and include health, education, culture and tourism departments. Arrange the Spring Festival transportation work in accordance with the principles of reducing personnel flow, reducing travel risks, reducing personnel gathering, and strengthening personnel protection.
Frontline passenger service personnel "should receive all vaccines" before the Spring Festival
Opinions require that during the Spring Festival, the frequency of measures such as ventilation and disinfection should be increased, and real-name ticket purchases and numbered seats should be implemented. Speed up the promotion of the "health code" nationwide to pass through one code, improve the efficiency of personnel passage, and avoid gathering of people due to scanning codes and inspections.
All front-line service personnel of passenger transportation shall wear masks in a standard manner, and urge passengers to wear masks throughout the journey. Carry out daily health monitoring and regular nucleic acid testing for front-line passenger service personnel. We will promptly promote the organization of vaccinations for front-line passenger transport service personnel, and on the basis of informed and voluntary efforts, strive to achieve "every need" before the Spring Festival travel.
The health department should report the epidemic information in a timely manner, promote the improvement of prevention and control measures in public, railway, and navigation units, and guide important transportation hubs to set up isolation areas (detention stations) during the Spring Festival.
In terms of emergency response, relevant emergency plans are formulated in advance for local outbreaks, and passenger lines or routes should be reduced or suspended in accordance with laws and regulations when necessary.
"Health Code" for the elderly
The opinions also mentioned that the employees are encouraged to spend the holidays on the spot, and employers are encouraged to coordinate their work needs and the wishes of the employees to make overall arrangements for vacations, and guide them to return to their hometown and work.
The railway department should improve the 12306 ticketing system, expand the scope of online services, extend the service time of the website, and improve the standby ticket purchasing function. Railway, road and waterway passenger transportation, civil aviation, etc. should promote electronic tickets or electronic boarding passes, and railways should add automatic ticket gates and security inspection devices.
Stations, docks, airports and other hubs and stations as well as highways and other service areas should be equipped with disinfection supplies, masks and other protective materials to facilitate temporary purchase or access by passengers.
It is worth noting that the opinions suggest that services such as "health code" agency inspections, manual ticket sales, and consultation guidelines will be provided for the elderly in need to ensure the travel services of special groups such as the elderly under intelligent conditions.
