Experts remind:
The current epidemic prevention and control is at a very critical stage, and we cannot relax our vigilance at all. Delta mutant strains have the characteristics of fast transmission, fast replication in the body, and long time to turn negative, which poses greater challenges to the prevention and control of the epidemic. Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health. We must continue to maintain good hygiene habits, support and cooperate with prevention and control measures, unite together, fight the epidemic together, and build a strong social defense line for epidemic prevention and control.
1. Enhancing personal protection awareness. Insist on good personal hygiene habits such as frequent hand washing, wearing masks, frequent ventilation, less gathering, using serving chopsticks, and sharing meals. Once symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, decreased sense of smell and taste, conjunctivitis, myalgia, and diarrhea appear, they should promptly follow the standard procedures and actively inform the 14-day activity track and contact history. Wear a mask throughout the entire journey and avoid public transportation.
2. Actively inoculate the new coronavirus vaccine. Vaccination is the best way to prevent new coronary pneumonia. It helps to build a herd immune barrier, slow down and ultimately stop the epidemic, and protect the health of individuals and family members. Please follow the arrangement of the community or unit, strictly follow the immunization procedures, and vaccinate in sequence on time.
3. Insist on not going out of the country or going to high-risk areas if it is not necessary. Those with a history of living in high-risk areas, please cooperate with the implementation of the 14-day quarantine medical observation (from the date of leaving the high-risk areas). Persons from low-risk areas in cities where medium- and high-risk areas are located should take the initiative to report to the community and cooperate with nucleic acid testing.
Fourth, adhere to normalized epidemic prevention and control measures. In shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, theaters, stadiums and other public places, actively cooperate with measures such as wearing masks, checking codes and measuring temperature, and one-meter noodles. When taking public transportation, elevators, and seeing doctors in hospitals, patients with fever or respiratory tract infections, as well as people with high risk exposures in the medical and health, transportation and other industries, should wear masks correctly.
