The National Disease Control and Prevention Administration is making every effort to guide and support post-earthquake health and epidemic prevention work following the 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Baqing County, Nagqu City, Tibet.

At approximately 22:33 on October 22, 2026, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Baqing County, Nagqu City, Tibet, causing major casualties. After the earthquake, the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration immediately contacted the Tibet Autonomous Region Disease Control and Prevention Administration to learn about the disaster situation and the resettlement of disaster victims, and promptly dispatched an advance team from the National Emergency Response Team for Acute Infectious Disease Prevention and Control to the front line of the disaster area; organized and dispatched a working group from the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration to urgently travel to the disaster area to guide health and epidemic prevention work; organized the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention to conduct a post-disaster public health risk assessment for the earthquake-stricken area; and required the National Emergency Response Team for Acute Infectious Disease Prevention and Control, which is hosted by the Qinghai Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to be ready for deployment at any time. After the disaster occurred, the Tibet Autonomous Region Disease Control and Prevention Administration immediately launched an emergency response for health and epidemic prevention following the earthquake disaster, organized disease control forces at the autonomous region, prefecture and city, and county levels to participate in disaster relief, and mobilized epidemic prevention supplies overnight for transport to the disaster area. The principal responsible comrades of the Tibet Disease Control and Prevention Administration are leading a working group on the front line of the disaster area to carry out post-disaster health and epidemic prevention work, including infectious disease surveillance, public health risk assessment, environmental disinfection, vector control, drinking water testing, and health education.
