Shanxi: All the epidemic prevention checkpoints set at the city and county boundaries of ordinary highways in the province have been cancelled.
According to the website of Shanxi Provincial Communications Department on June 9th, the Office of the Leading Group for Logistics Guarantee and Smooth Work in Shanxi Province and the Office of the Leading Group for Epidemic Prevention and Control in novel coronavirus, Shanxi Province have issued notices to further improve and optimize the inspection of vehicle epidemic prevention, cancel all the epidemic prevention checkpoints set up in the city, county (city, district) boundaries of ordinary highways in the province, and all highway toll stations are not allowed to restrict the passage of freight vehicles at will.
The notice requires that if an epidemic situation occurs locally in the province, an epidemic prevention checkpoint can be set up at the county (city, district) boundary where the epidemic situation occurs, but the epidemic-related counties (cities, districts) should report to the provincial leading group for logistics security and epidemic prevention and control for approval.
The notice also called for the full resumption of vehicle traffic. Highway toll stations that originally allowed freight vehicles to pass shall not restrict the passage of freight vehicles on the grounds of epidemic prevention and control. If it is necessary to restrict the passage of trucks, the county (city, district) shall report it for approval step by step; All epidemic prevention checkpoints shall not be persuaded to return on the grounds that the health code of bus drivers and passengers outside the province is red or yellow.
In order to further improve the traffic efficiency, the notice has optimized the passenger car epidemic prevention inspection process: the passenger car passing through the province and the epidemic prevention inspection point of the expressway toll station will directly release it according to the vehicle traffic information (license plate number, name and time of the entrance toll station, etc.) provided by the expressway toll station, and no longer check the "health code and communication itinerary card". For the passenger cars entering and returning to Shanxi from outside the province, the drivers and passengers scan the "Registration Code of Entry Quarantine Information", truthfully fill in the source, and classify and implement epidemic prevention and control measures. For those who have entered and returned to Shanxi from cities outside the province with no epidemic situation, after the first landing point nucleic acid detection and sampling, they are directly released and dynamically tracked.
According to the notice, all localities should earnestly strengthen organizational leadership, strictly implement the policies and requirements of provincial epidemic prevention and control, and ensure the smooth work. It is not allowed to increase the number of layers and introduce a "local policy" without authorization to ensure the province’s epidemic prevention and control and smooth work.
The Paper noted that recently, many provinces have requested to loosen traffic control.
For example, Liaoning proposed to improve the policy of ensuring smooth traffic and logistics. Effectively solve the problem of excessive traffic control in epidemic prevention and control, strictly implement the free inspection system for truck drivers at nucleic acid inspection points such as expressway service areas and toll stations, and withdraw all inspection points for epidemic prevention on ordinary highways. Completely cancel the epidemic prevention traffic restrictions on freight vehicles from low-risk areas, and do not block or close highways and ordinary roads without authorization. It is strictly forbidden to hard isolate county and rural roads, and it is forbidden to shut down expressway service areas, port terminals, railway stations, passenger stations and civil transport airports without authorization. It is strictly forbidden to restrict the normal flow of people in low-risk areas with epidemic situation. For freight vehicles coming from or entering or leaving the city where the epidemic is located in high-risk areas, the system of "taking them immediately and chasing them immediately" shall be strictly implemented, and closed-loop management measures such as reporting in advance and point-to-point transportation shall be implemented. It is strictly forbidden to overweight without authorization, so as to effectively guarantee traffic; For railway drivers and passengers coming from or entering or leaving the district (county) where the epidemic situation is high-risk, green closed-loop management, 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate or on-site inspection measures shall be implemented to ensure the crew.
Xinjiang proposes to improve the policy of ensuring smooth traffic and logistics. It is strictly forbidden to block or close highways, ordinary highways and highway service areas without authorization, and it is strictly forbidden to hard isolate county and rural roads. In addition to the passage into Xinjiang, we will resolutely ban the epidemic prevention checkpoints set up in the main lines and service areas of expressways, and completely cancel the epidemic prevention traffic restrictions on freight vehicles from low-risk areas. All unreasonable height restrictions will be abolished. While resolutely blocking the transmission channel of the virus, we should ensure the continuous traffic network, and implement the system of "taking, leaving and chasing" for freight vehicles coming from or entering and leaving the cities where the epidemic is in high-risk areas. Passenger and freight drivers and so on enjoy the policy of free nucleic acid testing in different places, and the results of nucleic acid testing are common throughout the country.
