Jinan issued the suggestion of "postponing happy events and simply handling funerals"
At present, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 is severe and complicated, with newly confirmed cases appearing in many parts of the country, and there are many clustered epidemics, especially as the Spring Festival approaches, the mobility of people increases, and the risk of epidemic input and transmission increases. In order to implement the "external defense and internal defense rebound" measures for epidemic prevention and control in the city, and effectively protect the safety and health of the people. The following initiatives are hereby issued on matters related to postponing happy events and simplifying funerals during the epidemic prevention and control period:
First, the happy event was postponed. Advocate "human feelings" to make way for "epidemic situation", "family feelings" to serve "epidemic situation", and postpone or not hold weddings, full moons and other happy events. For those who can't postpone due to special reasons, simplify the ceremony, shorten the time, advocate not holding banquets, reduce gatherings, take temperature, wear masks, check the hygiene code according to regulations, and keep a reasonable dining distance. Encourage friends and relatives to celebrate with new methods such as WeChat greeting each other and sending blessings online. Newcomers who register for marriage can consult in advance and make an appointment online, do a good job of personal protection, cooperate with the implementation of prevention and control requirements, and minimize the gathering of people.
Second, keep the funeral simple. Advocate simple and quick funeral activities, control the scale of funeral service, simplify funeral service, shorten funeral service time and reduce personnel gathering. It is necessary to actively respond to and cooperate with the call of party committees and governments at all levels, report to the streets and village committees in advance, do not hold banquets, and do not invite friends and relatives from other places to participate, and strictly implement the relevant provisions on epidemic prevention and control. Personnel involved in funeral and interment should strictly follow the relevant provisions of epidemic prevention and control, check the hygiene code and travel code, take temperature, wear masks and keep a reasonable dining distance.
Third, the memorial ceremony of civilization. Paying homage to ancestral graves and remembering ancestors is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation since ancient times. In the special period of epidemic prevention and control and the traditional memorial node, we advocate using online sacrifice and small family memorial service to pay homage to and remember our ancestors, instead of burning paper and lighting candles in public places such as streets, squares, parks, communities and intersections, and consciously abandon uncivilized sacrifice and sweeping, effectively reducing the risk of epidemic spread and environmental pollution caused by on-site gathering and memorial service.
Cadres and public officials in party member should set an example, take the lead in implementing epidemic prevention and control measures and requirements, take the initiative to be leaders, propagandists, practitioners and promoters of epidemic prevention and control, and set an example by practical actions in delaying happy events and simplifying funeral procedures.
Grassroots organizations should implement the responsibility of territorial management. Give full play to the role of village-level management organizations, red and white councils and social groups, actively do a good job in propaganda, guidance, investigation and supervision of epidemic prevention and control, and promptly persuade when problems are found. Make full use of the village loudspeakers, banners, WeChat groups and other media, vigorously promote the "simple funeral, postpone happy events, stop gathering activities" initiative, so that the epidemic prevention and control measures are well-known and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The prevention and control of epidemic situation focuses on consciousness, and everyone is responsible. Let's take active actions. Under the strong leadership of Party committees and governments at all levels, we will work together to overcome the difficulties. From now on, we will start from ourselves and start from scratch, adhere to group prevention and control, joint prevention and control, and participate in supporting the epidemic prevention and control work with practical actions to ensure the life safety and health of the broad masses of the people in the city.
