Under the current circumstances, prevention as an individual is the top priority. According to the views of experts from CDC and WHO, public prevention should pay attention to the following aspects:
One is active protection. Susceptible people should try to avoid going to crowded public places, and can wear masks to reduce the risk of exposure to pathogens. When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose completely with a tissue or your cuff or bend your elbow, throw the used tissue into a closed trash bin immediately, and wash your hands. At the same time, avoid close contact with patients without protection, and avoid touching their eyes, mouth, and nose.
The second is to pay attention to cleanliness. This includes washing hands with soap, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and water immediately before, during, and after preparing food, after coughing or sneezing, when caring for a sick person, and after handling animals or animal waste. At the same time, keep windows open for ventilation in homes and workplaces, and the environment is clean.
The third is to avoid close contact. Try to avoid close contact with farmed or wild animals without protection, avoid contact with sick animals and spoiled meat, avoid contact with stray animals, garbage and wastewater in fresh markets.
Winter and spring are seasons with high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases. The public must increase their awareness of prevention, so as to reduce the transmission channels of the virus and reduce the risk of infection. I hope everyone will be healthy, safe and sound during the Spring Festival, and spend it together!
