It is a necessary care for human life safety and basic dignity to make it clear that the door cannot be locked outside the home.

On September 29, at the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, Lei Zhenglong, the director of the Department of Communication and Prevention of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention and the first level inspector, pointed out that the infrastructure of centralized isolation sites should meet the current national standards for building safety, fire safety, earthquake resistance and disaster prevention, strictly standardize the management of isolation points, and strictly prevent cross infection. When centralized or home isolation measures are taken, the door shall not be locked outside.
It is a common practice in epidemic prevention to take centralized or home isolation measures for high-risk population. But Coyett's reality is that some of the self styled "hard core" epidemic prevention behaviors are indeed excessive. This time, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council made it clear that no measures should be taken to lock the doors of centralized or isolated people at home, which is not only the marking of epidemic prevention red line, but also a very targeted reminder.
According to the public information, such phenomena as "the door of home isolation is chained" do occur from time to time in some places. This is not only a rude addition to epidemic prevention requirements, but also a great potential safety hazard. For example, in the event of fire, earthquake and other emergencies, it is likely to hinder the escape of isolated personnel. The risks must not be underestimated and must be prohibited.
The implementation of epidemic prevention measures is for the purpose of protecting life, and it is also the internal requirement of adhering to "life first" to eliminate the practice of locking the doors of isolated personnel.
In the process of implementing epidemic prevention measures, whether it is to transfer isolated personnel, effectively manage isolated places, or scientifically handle various emergencies and emergencies, we should try our best to avoid adding new safety risks to the people who cooperate with epidemic prevention, which should become the basic bottom line in the normalization of epidemic prevention.
In a word, "life first" is not an abstract concept, but should run through the whole process of epidemic prevention and every specific operation.
Any violation of this principle should be resolutely eliminated. As far as the standardization of centralized isolation links is concerned, the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism also required that the infrastructure of centralized isolation sites should comply with the current national standards for building safety, fire safety, earthquake resistance and disaster prevention, strictly standardize the management of isolation points, and strictly prevent cross contamination; For special people who are not suitable for centralized isolation after assessment, they can take home isolation measures. For those who are not suitable for single room isolation, appropriate personnel should be designated to accompany them. These can be said to be necessary care for human life safety and basic dignity.
In contrast to this requirement, some places have previously locked the fire exits in closed communities, isolated infants and other phenomena, which obviously must be seriously corrected and prevented.
Today, the boundaries of what is scientific policy and what is "adding weight layer by layer" have become increasingly clear. All epidemic prevention subjects should not have the foolhardy thinking of adding weight without authorization and "one size fits all". This not only tests the scientific implementation ability of epidemic prevention policies, but also examines the true respect for life, which should not be careless.
