In order to conscientiously implement the spirit of the national teleconference on epidemic prevention and control work, and effectively respond to the increasingly complex and severe epidemic prevention and control situation, Yueqing City has issued a strong measure of “three in place” to further implement epidemic prevention work in religious (folk belief) activity venues in a strict and expeditious manner.
First, ideological understanding and guidance are in place. On January 14th, all cadres of the Yueqing Civil and Religious Affairs Bureau, relevant leaders of various religious groups, and grassroots cadres in charge of religious work in towns and townships (streets) attended the video conference on epidemic prevention and control in winter and spring. After the meeting, Yueqing City immediately analyzed, studied, and decided to suspend all religious activities in all religious (folk belief) venues and private Christian gathering points under management in the city. At the same time, each township (street) actively responded by visiting sites for publicity, doing in-depth and detailed ideological work for venue leaders and religious staff, unifying everyone’s ideological understanding into the overall political perspective of the national epidemic prevention and control, actively cooperating with the epidemic prevention and control work, and even voluntarily closing places in some places. Within a week after the measures were introduced, all religious (folk belief) activity venues actively cooperated to stop all activities (gatherings).
The second is to compact the work responsibilities in place. Yueqing City regularly re mobilizes and re deploys epidemic prevention work in the religious field during the winter and spring periods, further clarifying the list of epidemic prevention and control responsibilities and tasks. Firstly, timely communicates and implements the latest epidemic prevention and control requirements and measures, and strengthens the prevention and control guidance work for religious (folk belief) activity venues; The second is to master the work dynamics of all religious (folk belief) activity venues, increase inspection efforts, timely detect and stop proposed religious activities, and ensure that there are no blind spots in all aspects; Third, provide effective guidance to the majority of religious believers, comprehensively inspect and timely rectify possible problems; Fourth, actively play a role in assisting investigation and timely report the epidemic dynamics of religious (folk belief) activity venues. Strictly observe the principle of using a “microscope” to check problems, using a “magnifying glass” to see hazards, and using a “prism” to find the root cause. Since then, 17 towns (streets), including Liushi Town, Nanyue Town, Huwu Town, and Yanpan Street, have also successively held relevant work deployment meetings to further implement the responsibilities of the “Three People in the Church Group” and the village level religious affairs management team.
Third, daily supervision is implemented in place. Yueqing City adheres to the “online+offline” mode, combining daily inspection and key inspections, and further urges the implementation of territorial responsibilities for epidemic prevention and control in the religious field during the winter and spring period, as well as the main responsibilities of religious (folk belief) activity venues. On the one hand, the business department conducts daily online inspections to promptly identify and handle problems. On the other hand, Yueqing Citizen and Religious Affairs Bureau dispatched personnel to six supervision teams to supervise the epidemic prevention and control work at key religious activity sites in various towns (streets) through open and secret visits at least twice a week, in-depth inspection of the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures in more than 30 key religious (folk belief) activity sites within the jurisdiction, and effectively play the positive role of the “three person in court team” in the normalization of epidemic prevention and control work.
After four days of platoon inspection, the religious field in Yueqing City is generally stable, and all religious (folk belief) activity venues can stop carrying out activities. In the next step, Yueqing City will continue to implement the requirements for epidemic prevention and control work, increase inspection efforts, and ensure that various control measures are deployed in place. For individual individuals with ideological and emotional fluctuations, we will actively conduct education and guidance, build a strong defense line, and defend our positions to ensure the overall security and stability of the economic and social development of Yueqing City.
