Dear friends of urban and rural residents,

At present, the situation of prevention and control in novel coronavirus is grim, and the whole country is making every effort to fight the epidemic. In order to strictly prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic, avoid crowd gathering, prevent cross-infection, effectively protect the life, health and safety of the people in the county, and resolutely win the tough battle of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control, we hereby put forward the following initiatives on postponing or simplifying the wedding, funeral and celebration:

First, advocate new weddings and simple ceremonies, and do not hold large-scale weddings and banquets. It is suggested that the wedding be postponed until the epidemic situation is lifted to prevent people from gathering during the epidemic prevention and control. The wedding that really can't be postponed should be simplified as much as possible, the scope of participants should be well controlled, and protective measures such as wearing masks should be taken.

Second, advocate simple funerals, do not hold public farewell ceremonies, and do not engage in funerals. Reduce farewell time and get in close contact with people. To advocate civilized sacrifice, we can mourn and cherish the memory of our old friends through family memory and online sacrifice.

Third, the presidents and members of the red and white councils in each village should take the initiative to intervene at the first time to persuade the victims to postpone or simply handle the wedding and funeral matters, and resolutely be responsible for guarding the land.

At present, safety first, health first! It is hoped that the broad masses of the county will start from themselves and every family, be advocates and disseminators of the wind of civilization, and support the epidemic prevention and control work with practical actions. Your understanding, support and cooperation are the greatest contributions to the fight against the epidemic!
