Epidemic prevention still needs to be remembered!

A. Pay attention to the epidemic situation and plan your travel scientifically

If the departure or destination is at the peak of the epidemic, it is recommended to weigh the pros and cons and postpone your return home. People returning to their hometowns should arrange their trips scientifically and reasonably, stagger their trips as much as possible to avoid crowding and reduce the gathering of people; at the same time, people in areas with high epidemic levels are advised to go out as little as possible.

Strengthen self-protection and do health monitoring

The Chinese New Year holidays are approaching, and activities such as parties and travel are increasing. Regardless of whether you have been infected with the new coronavirus or not, you should have a full complement of personal protective equipment such as masks, hand disinfection, gloves and wet wipes before returning home. If you have symptoms such as sore throat, fever and fatigue, you can take appropriate protective and therapeutic measures according to the severity of your symptoms and seek medical attention if necessary. New coronavirus infected patients in recovery should pay attention to rest, strengthen nutrition and avoid strenuous exercise.

Visit friends and relatives moderately and minimize gathering

The Spring Festival is the peak period for movement and gathering of people. In areas where the epidemic is at its peak, large-scale gatherings should be avoided as much as possible and the movement of people should be reduced. During your hometown, you should observe the basic code of conduct for epidemic prevention, adhere to good hygiene habits such as washing hands regularly, wearing masks, ventilating frequently, using communal chopsticks, maintaining social distance, cleaning and disinfecting, and consciously improving your self-protection ability. Asymptomatic infected persons and light cases should, in principle, be treated at home, avoid going out, refuse visitors, and reduce contact with family members as much as possible during their stay at home.

Fourth, guard the rural gate, neighborhood harmony and mutual assistance

The population in rural areas is large and medical resources per capita are relatively insufficient. As the Chinese New Year approaches, more people are returning to their hometowns, so friends in rural areas should strengthen their own protection, hold red and white ceremonies as simple as possible, and reduce the number of people gathered. Keep an eye on your own health, and when symptoms of infection appear, go to the village health office or township health center for medical attention. In addition, on the basis of their own personal protection, they should actively participate in the epidemic prevention work in the village, and if there is a surplus of medicine or medical supplies, they can also provide help to their neighbors in time.

V. Active vaccination to build a strong immunization barrier

Vaccination is still the most direct and effective means to prevent neocoronavirus infection and is effective in reducing serious illnesses and deaths, so eligible citizens, especially the elderly and those with serious underlying diseases, are invited to receive the full course of neocoronavirus vaccination, and those who have completed the full course of immunization for 6 months should receive booster immunization. The fourth dose of booster vaccination will be administered. At the same time, those who have completed the vaccination still need to do a good job of personal prevention.

Sixth, pay attention to the old and the young, health and safety visits

The elderly and people with underlying diseases are more likely to become seriously ill after infection. In addition to active vaccination, it is important to pay attention to the prevention of this group of people during the Spring Festival. If you are visiting elderly people, children, pregnant women or people with underlying diseases who have not yet been infected with the new coronavirus, you should ensure that you are in good health, take good personal protection and shorten your stay.
