Sep
On September 4, 2022, “This round of Shenzhen epidemic is the first BA.5 in China, and it is also a new variant of Omicron, which is more hidden and has stronger transmission ability.
According to the characteristics of the virus itself, we must take the initiative to take the fastest and most effective measures to protect ourselves and our families, and be the first responsible person for our own health. “
Starting from oneself and adhering to correct and effective health protection measures are always the most effective “weapons” against the new coronavirus.
Now the virus is very contagious and spreads very fast, requiring us to carry out nucleic acid testing quickly, detect the epidemic early, deal with the epidemic quickly, and implement prevention and control measures.
Only by detecting positive infected persons and high-risk persons as soon as possible, and taking control measures, can the chain of transmission be cut off and the risk of community spread be reduced.
On the other hand, some time ago, the general public’s virus prevention psychology was relaxed: the masks were taken off when it was too hot, and they would occasionally forget to wash their hands and disinfect their hands when they returned home when they went out, etc…
The general public should always adhere to good hygiene habits such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, ventilating frequently, using public chopsticks, “one-meter noodles”, cough etiquette, cleaning and disinfection, and consciously improve health literacy and self-protection capabilities.
Masks are still the most important non-drug intervention to prevent new coronavirus infection.
When entering vegetable markets, shopping malls, supermarkets, exhibition halls, airports and other crowded places, when taking public transportation such as van elevators, planes, trains, buses, etc.,
when in crowded open-air squares, theaters, parks and other outdoor places;
Masks should be properly worn during hospital visits, escort, and health checks such as body temperature checks, health code checks, and registration of itinerary information.
At the same time, it is not difficult for attentive citizens to find that everyone wears a variety of masks now, and many colorful and personalized masks have replaced the medical surgical masks that everyone wore before.
Experts say that the choice of masks should not only be beautiful, but also practical. It is recommended that the general public buy masks that meet national or medical standards.
“If you have symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, loss of smell and taste, diarrhea, etc., you should wear a medical surgical mask and seek medical attention in time.” Experts emphasize that after sweating or rain, the mask should be wet or contaminated in time.
Replacement, the longest wearing time of the mask should not exceed 8 hours, and hand disinfection should be performed before and after changing the mask.
