Is it true that the Spring Festival holiday will be extended? When will the extended Spring Festival holiday end?

Recently, due to the impact of the epidemic, primary and secondary schools as well as colleges and universities in Hubei Province have issued notices to extend the Spring Festival holiday. The specific start time of school will be notified separately. Some schools in other provinces and cities have also adjusted the start time according to the epidemic. Many office workers have also called for an extension of the Spring Festival holiday.

Is it true that the Spring Festival holiday will be extended?

Many people are currently suggesting extending the Spring Festival holiday. It is estimated that necessary measures will also be taken during the peak period of the Spring Festival travel rush. We just need to wait at home and minimize going out.

Many netizens commented online: Because the holiday will not be extended, many people will have to return to work, which will inevitably lead to large-scale population movement. In addition, the virus has a fourteen-day incubation period, and the movement of people will increase the risk of virus spread.

Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately extend the Spring Festival holiday. If the holiday is appropriately extended, and then people can return in different time periods and regions according to industry categories, this will help reduce the concentrated flow of people and thus reduce the risk of virus spread.

When will the Spring Festival holiday be extended?

At present, primary and secondary schools in Hubei Province have extended the Spring Festival holiday, and universities have also issued notices to extend the holiday. However, the specific time has not yet been announced.

Netizens commented online: It is really terrible to squeeze into the subway to go to work. The central air-conditioning in the building may also contribute to the spread of the virus. They support extending the holiday to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. In the face of life, everything else is really worthless.

It is suggested that the country extend the Spring Festival holiday to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so that the country will have two weeks to reduce the flow of people. These two weeks are also the incubation period for a person to be infected with Wuhan pneumonia. Through this 15-day holiday and the basic static state of people, the frequency and scope of infection can be effectively reduced.

Why should we extend the Spring Festival holiday?

For those who need to return to work across provinces, the holidays can be appropriately extended to reduce mobility and minimize the source of infection.

The main reasons are as follows:

1. The 14-day incubation period is still contagious;

2. Office workers live in a closed environment, and infection may affect a company or the entire office building;

3. If people move around during the incubation period, new sources of infection will spread, which will put medical workers in various cities at greater risk and pressure.

Come on Wuhan! Come on Hubei! We will definitely overcome this difficulty!
