Expo exemplifies post-COVID-19 era

Safeguarding the trade fair

鈥淭here are three goals we need to achieve when guaranteeing the safety of this event,鈥 Zhang Yi, head of the office responsible for expo operations, said. 鈥淲e need to ensure there are no conditions that would lead to another outbreak; we need to identify and respond quickly to any detected cases; and we need to closely monitor air-conditioning equipment installed in the expo halls to provide the best air circulation.鈥

Zhang said the pressure to ensure health and safety is a bit like efforts earlier this year when the virus first struck, except that authorities had a much better grasp of the disease now.

Almost all members of Minhang District鈥檚 disease prevention and control center have been dispatched to work at the event.

鈥淲e have enough emergency materials to cover a month,鈥 Zhang said, 鈥渁nd we had all preparations in place half a month before expo opened.鈥

In the district, Huashan Hospital, Children鈥檚 Hospital of Fudan University and Central Hospital of Minhang were designates at principal centers of medical services during the expo.

Medics were particularly concerned about the onset of the seasonal flu this month converging with the coronavirus.
