新型コロナウイルス関連肺炎の感染予防策の的確性、科學(xué)性、有効性を向上させ、感染の拡大を厳しく抑制するために、四川省人民政府は『四川省新型コロナウイルス関連肺炎に対する?yún)^(qū)域別及び種類別で感染防止策マニュアル』を公表し、各行政區(qū)域を発病率によって「無発病癥例區(qū)」、「散在発病區(qū)」、「コミュニティ爆発區(qū)」、「局地流行區(qū)」と分ける。
（一）無発病癥例區(qū)とは、區(qū)域內(nèi)に感染例がなく、あるいは最後の患者が完治退院後14日以內(nèi)に新発感染例がない行政區(qū)域である。無発病癥例區(qū)の感染防止策としては醫(yī)療救助策と予防抑制案を完備させ、応急準(zhǔn)備を整え、輸入人員に対するグリッド管理を徹底し、コミュニティを全面的に調(diào)査し、在宅隔離と健康観測を強化し、集団的イベントを中止することなどがあげられる。
