Recently, the number of confirmed cases in China has increased significantly, and the epidemic has spread to most provinces in China again. Local prevention and control policies have become stricter. According to the circuit breaker policy, inter provincial team travel is almost at a standstill, and business travel is also subject to certain restrictions. Over the past two years, China has accumulated a lot of experience in prevention and control measures. It is expected that the epidemic will be controlled in the short term. The sharp rebound of the social service industry this week also shows the optimistic expectation of the market.

The National Health Commission issued the ninth edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan for new coronary pneumonia, which is conducive to the recovery of tourism. Compared with the eighth edition, the changes mainly include: 1. Adding antigen detection as a supplement. 2. Classified treatment of cases, light centralized isolation management, ordinary to severe designated hospitals. 3. Two covid-19 specific drugs approved by the State Food and drug administration were included in the diagnosis and treatment plan. 4.
