Which is more serious, the first-level response or the second-level response? What does it mean when the first-level response is adjusted to the second-level response?

Which is more serious, a level one response or a level two response? When the epidemic spread, the country adopted level one response measures. Currently, several provinces have adjusted the level one response to level two responses, which proves that the epidemic has improved. When Hubei's level one response will be lifted depends on how the epidemic is controlled.

Which is more serious, primary response or secondary response?

Level 1 response is serious.

According to the urgency, development trend and possible harm of emergencies, they are divided into Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4, marked with red, orange, yellow and blue, Level 1 (especially serious), Level 2 (serious), Level 3 (relatively serious) and Level 4 (general). Level 1 is the highest level.

Level I response is initiated when one of the following occurs:

(1) A particularly serious production safety accident that causes the death of more than 30 people (including missing persons), endangers the lives of more than 30 people, poisons (severely injures) more than 100 people, or causes direct economic losses of more than RMB 100 million.

(2) Production safety accidents requiring the urgent relocation and resettlement of more than 100,000 people.

(3) Production safety accidents that exceed the emergency response capabilities of the provincial (district, city) people’s government.

(4) Production safety accidents and disasters that cross provincial administrative regions and cross fields (industries and departments).

(5) Production safety accidents that the leaders of the State Council believe require a response from the State Council’s Safety Committee.

Level II response is initiated when one of the following situations occurs:

(1) A production safety accident that causes the death (including disappearance) of more than 10 but less than 30 persons, or endangers the lives of more than 10 but less than 30 persons, or poisons (severely injures) more than 50 but less than 100 persons, or causes direct economic losses of more than RMB 50 million but less than RMB 100 million.

(2) Production safety accidents that exceed the emergency response capabilities of the municipal (prefectural, state) people’s government.

(3) Production safety accidents that occur across cities or prefecture-level administrative regions.

(4) Production safety accidents that the provincial (autonomous region, municipality) people’s government deems necessary to respond to.

What does it mean when the first-level response is adjusted to the second-level response?

First, it means that the epidemic situation has improved, and the effectiveness of the measures of "early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment" has become more apparent. Statistics show that from February 16 to February 23, the number of newly confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Guangdong has remained at a "low" level in the single digit.

Second, the adjustment of the first-level response to the second-level response is not just a literal change from "particularly serious public health emergency" to "serious public health emergency", but also a change in the corresponding response methods.

What does Level 1 Response mean?

The first-level response is directly under the command of the State Council.

The second-level response is at the provincial level.

The third level response is listening to the city.

The fourth level response is general, which is the area.

The first-level response is a direct response to the State Council’s order, and then the State Council organizes and coordinates relevant units to participate in the handling of public health emergencies.

On the afternoon of February 24, the Guangdong Provincial Government Information Office held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control. Chen Zhusheng, deputy director of the Provincial Health Commission, said that adjusting the response level does not mean that the epidemic has reached a turning point. We must be clear that this new coronavirus epidemic is the most serious public health emergency in my country since the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the fastest spread, the widest range of infection, and the greatest difficulty in prevention and control. The current epidemic situation remains severe and complex, and prevention and control is at the most critical stage. We must not relax and grasp all prevention and control work in a down-to-earth manner.
